socket on the spindle flange and rotate each camlock clockwise to the locked
position. The indicator hashmark on each camlock socket should be somewhere
between the 5 and 6 o’clock position.
If the desired rotation on any cam lock cannot be obtained, the mounting studs
may need to be adjusted. (See Troubleshooting in chapter 12.)
Tailstock
The tailstock will accept any tooling with a Morse Taper #3 shank or arbor. This
type of mount is a friction-fit taper, so it is important that the mounting
surfaces be clean and dry. You will need to extend the tailstock barrel
approximately 1/2 to 3/4 inches before inserting any tooling, and then firm
hand pressure is all that is needed to lock tooling into the taper.
Installing Compound Angle Toolpost
The compound-angle toolpost (CATP) is mounted to the top of the cross-slide
table using 10mm t-bolts, washers and nuts. You can substitute t-nuts and the
proper length studs in place of the t-bolts if desired. Mount the toolpost on the
table surface wherever there is a t-slot that allows the tooling to reach your
workpiece.
Installing Tooling into the Compound Angle
Toolpost
The four-sided turret can hold up to four individual cutters up to a 1/2 inch in
size. To insert tooling, loosen the screws on top of the turret with the provided
wrench. Insert tooling and tighen the screws again. Each cutter can be moved
into place by loosening the top turret lock and rotating the turret counter
clockwise 90º. Each cutter in the turret must be adjusted so that the cutting tip
is aligned with the center line of the workpiece. This is achieved by installing
shims or feeler gauges under the cutter before tightening it in place.
! NOTICE !
You can use either the tang or drawbar style arbors, however,
it is important that the threaded drawbar hole be plugged with
a bolt or setscrew before inserting into the barrel so that the
item will be automatically ejected when you retract the barrel.
