3.1: Tool Holder Installation/Adjustment 

The tool holder is infinitely adjustable along the 

industry standard dovetail fitting on the Block Gauge 

frame.  This dovetail fitting ensures that the gauge is 

rigid yet easy to install and adjust.

Tool Holder Adjustment

1.  Loosen the caphead screw (11) located on the  

  tool holder (7) using a 3 mm Allen key.

2. Slide the tool holder to the required position.

3.  Tighten the screw.  

CAUTION

In order to avoid damage to the linear 

bearings, it is important not to exceed 

the specification for the torque setting 

(1.5 to 2 Nm) of the fixing screw when 

adjusting the tool holder.

Tool Holder Installation

To remove the tool holder (7), loosen the caphead 

screw (11) located on the tool holder using a 3 mm 

Allen key. Slide the tool holder off the dovetail.

To re-install the tool holder, simply slide it over 

the dovetail joint to the required position and then 

tighten the caphead screw.
