Leveling feet
Machine Leveling
each corner of the Model g0664 base has a foot
with a threaded hole that can be used to level the
machine.
To install the leveling feet:
1. place the machine on blocks at least 4"
above the ground so that each threaded hole
can be accessed from underneath.
2. insert one M16-2 x 50 hex bolt with an M16-2
hex nut into each of the feet, as shown in
figure 11.
Whether you mount the machine to the shop floor,
use machine mounts, or use the leveling feet, the
Model g0664 must be leveled before use.
To level the machine:
1. using a level placed on the vise table as a
guide, level the machine by adjusting one
side up or down as needed, using shims,
machine mounts, or the leveling feet. Be sure
to adjust each side in small, equal increments
as one adjustment also affects the other
side.
2. once the machine is level in one direction,
rotate the level 90˚ and check again for
level.
3. again adjust the machine as needed. Be sure
to use small, equal increments on each side.
4. re-check for level in both the left-to-right and
front-to-rear directions. re-adjust if neces-
sary.
5. once the machine is level, secure the mount-
ing hardware as necessary, depending on
the mounting method you have chosen.
