HEAD TILT ADJUSTMENT
Head tilt adjustments requires the optional kit pictured on
page 2 of this manual. P/N: 794-8685-32. It will not be
possible to adjust your grinders head tilt without this
optional kit.
FRONT TO REAR HEAD TILT ADJUSTMENT:
Loosen two
7/16 cap screws (5/8 Hex) and turn the pair of socket head cap
screws in or out to obtain desired tilt, (Figure 29).
Check Head tilt by attaching the Optional Dial Indicator and
Mounting Hardware to the grinder motor (Figure 30). (Part
Number 794-8685-32) Then lowering the head until indicator
touches table. Rotate the indicator (and motor shaft) from front
to back and note the direction and amount of indicator travel.
SIDE-TO-SIDE HEAD TILT ADJUSTMENT:
The grinding
head is also adjustable for side-to-side tilt. This adjustment will
affect the flatness and/or parallelism of the ground work piece.
The double configuration used between the grinder motor and
the cast iron motor flange enables the motor to be mounted on
the front plate, which pivots on a 1" dia. pin to allow side-to-
side adjustment (Figure 31).
Adjustment may be made as follows:
a. Loosen four 3/8-16 nuts (9/16 Hex) approximately 1/2
to 3/4 turn.
b. Loosen adjusting screw on same side of machine as
corresponds to the low side of the grinding wheel.
Tighten screw on opposite side to pivot adjusting plate
appropriate amount (Figure 32).
c.
Check side-to-side tilt using same dial indicator setup
used in checking front to rear tilt above. The dial
indicator reading should be identical when swung from
one side to the other.
