hp power Feeder
-17-
to correctly position this power feeder on your
table top, completely assemble the power feeder
first, then refer this section and mount your base
to the table using one of the three methods below.
the reason for this order is that with the power
feeder unit completely assembled, it will be easier
to locate where on the table top you will need to
drill your base mounting holes, so you can take
advantage of the full range of power feeder swing
and adjustments.
through-bolt Mounting
We recommend that you mount your new power
feeder to the machine table with through bolts,
nuts, and washers (
Figure 16). this option will
give the most rigidity and clamping strength to
prevent the feeder base from twisting out of align-
ment during use. however, if under-table support
webs interfere with washer or nut locations under
the table, you must use an optional clamping kit,
or drill and thread holes directly into the table as
described in
Direct Mounting
.
Direct Mounting
Use the included mounting template to drill and
tap your table, so the power feeder base can
be directly mounted to the table surface (
Figure
17). if the table is thinner than
3
⁄

"
thick where
the threaded holes would be drilled and tapped,
or if support webbing is in the way, the threads
may strip or loosen as the power feeder is used.
thread locking compound will not cure this situ-
ation. revert to the
through-bolt Mounting
option. in any case, make sure to use a medium-
grade liquid thread locking compound on all
threads.
Quick Holder Kit Mounting
For temporary or permanent installation of your
power feeder without drilling into the table, you
can purchase and install the Model g4175 Quick
holder Kit (
Figure 18). these kits, while not as
rigid as the through-bolt or direct mount options,
require no drilling or tapping, and are adequate
for most power feeder applications. Make sure
to use an automotive-grade liquid thread locking
compound on all threads.
