PRODUCT SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
For ease of installation, we recommend
attaching the two sections of the Carbide Turning Tool
Holder to a backer board made from plywood or other
sheet material, which is then attached securely to the
wall or at the lathe.
The two sections of the Carbide Turning Tool Holder feature
offset mounting tabs and holes so that multiple Carbide
Turning Tool Holders can be installed in an unbroken series.
Installation
1.
Measure the overall lengths of the turning tools you plan to
store on the Carbide Turning Tool Holder. This will help you
determine the appropriate spacing between the upper and
lower sections of the Carbide Turning Tool Holder. Group
tools of similar lengths.
2.
At the installation location (or on the backer board), mark two
level horizontal lines spaced apart as determined in Step 1.
Fig. 1.
3.
Position the top section of the Carbide Turning Tool Holder
so its top edge is on the top line. Holding the section in place,
mark the locations of the two mounting holes.
Fig. 1.
4.
Use a level to transfer the mark for one of the holes down
below the bottom line.
Fig. 1.
5.
Position the bottom section of the Carbide Turning
Tool Holder so its top edge is on the bottom line and the
appropriate mounting hole is centered on the mark you drew
in Step 4. Holding the section in place, mark the location of
the second mounting hole.
6.
Check the marks to make sure the mounting holes are plumb
vertically. The top and bottom sections of the Carbide Turning
Tool Holder must be aligned vertically.
7.
If installing into drywall, drill a 3/16" pilot hole at each
mounting hole location to accommodate the included wall
anchors. If installing into a solid surface with the included
screws, drill 3/32" pilot holes.
