Through-Bolt.Mounting.
We recommend that you mount your new power feeder
to the machine table using the included M12-1.75 x 50
hex bolts and lock washers, plus additional flat washers
and locking hex nuts for a through-bolt setup (see
.Figure.
9
). This option will give the most rigidity and clamping
strength to prevent the feeder base from twisting out of
alignment during use. However, if under-table support
webs interfere with washer or nut locations under the
table, you must use an optional clamping kit, or drill and
thread holes directly into the table as described in the
Direct.Mounting
paragraph below.
Direct.Mounting.
Use the included mounting template to drill and tap your
table, so the power feeder base can be directly mounted
to the table surface (see
Figure.10
) using the included
M12-1.75 x 50 hex bolts and lock washers, plus additional
flat washers. If the table is thinner than
3
⁄
8
" thick where
the threaded holes would be drilled and tapped, or if
support webbing is in the way, the threads may strip
or loosen as the power feeder is used. Thread locking
compound will not cure this situation. Revert to the
Through-Bolt.Mounting
option. In any case, make sure to
use a medium-grade liquid thread locking compound on all
threads.
