5.
Place a small amount of glue in the hole about an inch below the surface then take the
slug your are wanting to use and place at the top of the hole, set another slug on top of
it and then pull the chuck down to the slugs. Next continue pulling the chuck down
until the slug seats in the bottom of the hole. CAUTION IF THE HOLE IS TO TIGHT
USING THIS PROCESS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE—BE SURE TO FOLLOW
STEP 4 ALSO IF YOU STOP BEFORE THE SLUG IS ALL THE WAY IN THE BALL IT WILL
SET UP AND AGAIN TRYING TO FORCE IT IN WITH THE MACHINE WILL CAUSE
DAMAGE AS WELL—Make sure once you start pulling the slug in that you continue with
out stopping.
6.
Next place the thumb size back in the chuck and drill thru the bottom of the slug—
Remember you must drill thru the bottom of the hole for the ball to be legal.
7.
If you are drilling an oval in the hole now follow those steps
8.
After all drilling is complete we are ready to trim the remaining material. We will use the
3” trimming blade that came with the machine. CAUTION WHEN USING THIS TOLL DO
NOT EVER REACH YOUR HANDS NEAR THE BLADE OR HAVE LOOSE CLOTHING AS IT
COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY Place the trimming blade in the chuck
9.
Take a yellow pencil and draw lines all of the way around the slug approximately 3”
away from the slug all the way around. These are safety lines as when you get close to
the ball the blade will actually scuff these lines before it cuts the ball. Following this
step is important as you can damage a ball very severely if not using the tool properly.
10.
Set both all pitches to zero and using the pivoting motion of the jig center the slug
under the blade. Also double check to make sure that you are not to close to the top
plate as the blade can damage that as well. In the event you are to close loosen the
top plate and realign the ball this way then tighten the plate.
11.
Start the machine and slowly bring the blade to the slug. Start your cut slow as the
blade will only cut on part of the slug. Continue until you see he scuff lines on the ball
and stop. If your machine has been calibrated properly the slug should trimmed flush
with the ball.
12.
Remove the ball and bevel the hole
