19. Re-install top plate as shown in Figure 15.
20. Position deadman arm and deadman, as
shown in
Figure 16, and use a 6mm hex
wrench to secure cap screws.
21. Turn taper angle control knob (see Figure

22. Use a 6mm hex wrench to tighten dovetail
lock cap screws (see
Figures 17 and 18).
One screw is located at each end of taper
attachment dovetail.
23. Move carriage so taper attachment stops
completely at rearmost position (see
Figure
18).
24. Set up a dial indicator (see Figure 18), so
dial indicator point is against top of dovetailed
way.
25. Move carriage to other end of way. Read dial
indicator and note amount of total misalign-
ment in parallelism between path of carriage
and path of taper attachment.
Readings on dial indicator showing a tilt of
0.050" or less between two extreme posi-
tions of thetaper attachment are acceptable
and have no significant impact on taper
operations.
