Using the Tool Turret
NOTE:
The tool turret will support up to
eight different tools at one time. The
tool positions are numbered on the
tooling plate:
Slots 1, 3, and 7:
Hold right-hand, left-hand, profiling
and external threading tools.
Mount tools in these positions with
the cutting face down.
Holes 2, 4, 6 and 8:
Hold boring, drilling and internal
threading tools.
Tool position 5
is for the cut off tool.
CAUTION
Before cutting, make sure that each
tool has sufficient clearance so it does
not ram into the chuck or workpiece
when changing tools.
1
Push in the Emergency Stop button and
raise the safety shield.
2
If a tool is currently present:
• Loosen the set screws holding the tool using
the 1/8" allen wrench.
• Remove the tool and shim (if a shim is
present).
3
Insert the tool (and shim if necessary) into
the turret.
4
Tighten the two set screws into the side of
the tool.
The tool tip and spindle centerline must
lie on the same plane. If necessary, use
shims to mount tools in the turret. This is
essential to achieve tight machine
tolerances and surface finish.
The tool tip must not extend more than
1.125" from the tooling plate to avoid
tool chatter.
NOTE:
To mount a tool:

1 Loosen the four hex-head screws
mounted in the turret body enough to
allow the t-nuts to enter the slots on the
cross slide.
2 Insert the t-nuts into the cross slide slots
from the bottom and slide the turret up
towards the top of the cross slide.
3 Tighten the four hex head screws using
the hex key. Do not over-tighten.
4 Remove the cap from the turret port on
the rear wall inside the enclosure.
5 Attach the 9-pin connector from the
turret to the turret port inside the
enclosure.

Mount the turret
1 Turn the turning center onto its side
(spindle side down) so you can safely
reach the connectors beneath the Z-axis
drive motor.
2 Locate the connector with one blue wire
and one brown wire protruding from one
end, and one black wire and one white
wire protruding from the other end.
3 Unclip the connector that attaches the
black and white wires to the brown and
blue wires.
4 Locate the loose connector with two blue
wires and one red wire with a yellow stripe.
5 Connect the black and white connector to
the loose connector.

The limit switch is fastened to the bed by
an adjustable bracket.

head screws in the tool turret package.
5 Using the 3/16 pan head screws, attach the
extension bracket to the adjustable
bracket.
6 Attach the limit switch to the opposite end
of the extension bracket, using the original
screws that you retained earlier.
7 Return the adjustable bracket to its original
position on the bed and tighten the
thumbscrew.
