CHAPTER THREE GOALS

At the conclusion of this chapter, with a little help, you will be able to:

Perform all prealignment steps

Setup GO lasers correctly

Enter dimensions correctly

Select tolerances for 1800 rpm

Measure misalignment

Correct vertical and horizontal misalignment with
compound move

Remeasure

Make corrections if necessary and remeasure

Save results

Unmount and stow laser in storage case
