INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The H0775 Taper Attachment mounts quickly to
the back bed way of the G4016 Gear Head Lathe.
Accurate tapers of up to 12" can be produced
without repositioning the attachment. The H0775
features scales at both ends, reading inches-per-
foot and degrees. An angle adjusting screw with
fine threads achieves exacting control when set-
ting tapers. Another feature is the ability to use
it without disengaging the cross slide nut. This
will allow it to be functional at any time by simply
tightening the deadman.
The H0775 comes carefully packaged and it is
coated with import grease to protect it from rust.
You will need to clean all pieces thoroughly prior
to installation and use. Use a solvent cleaner
or citrus-based degreaser, like Grizzly's G7895
Citrus Degreaser.
For optimum performance
from your machine, make sure you clean all
moving parts or sliding contact surfaces that
are coated.
Avoid chlorine-based solvents and
gasoline as they may damage painted surfaces
should they come in contact. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions when using any type
of cleaning product.
Installing the Taper Attachment
1. Disconnect the lathe from its power
source.
2.
Remove the splash guard from the back of
the lathe. If the lathe must be moved to allow
access to the splash guard, consult the lathe
manual for safe moving information. Note:
If
you move the lathe, be sure to re-level it after
returning the lathe to its final location.

You may need to bend one or more tangs of
the star washer in order to accomplish this
At this time, please examine the end of the cross
lead screw to see if its configuration matches
that shown in
Figure 2
. If it does not, this taper
attachment will not work unless you purchase
a new cross silde assembly. Contact Grizzly for
part numbers and order information. Also refer
to the Parts List contained in the G4016 Lathe
Instruction Manual for comparison.
