BOTTOM VISE JAW REPLACEMENT
Two bottom vise jaws are bolted to the carriage. One jaw is designed for standard configuration key
clamping with .142" throat (key clamping) and the other is a narrow style for clamping keys in their
groovings (1/16" grip).
Bottom vise jaws can be replaced one at a time—there is no need to replace them as matched sets. Use
your 9/64" Alien Hex Wrench to remove the #8-32 Socket Head Cap Screw securing the bottom vise
jaw to the carriage. See figure 4.
REVERSING
THE CARRIAGE
The carriage is reversed on your RY45 key machine to switch from standard vise jaw configuration to
narrow groove key clamping configuration. To reverse the carriage unscrew the red knurled knob and
screw assembly located near the bottom front of the carriage. Inspect the carriage shaft and carriage
and wipe off any key cuttings that might affect clamping the carriage back onto the carriage shaft.
Reinstall the Red Knurled Knob and screw assembly back onto the carriage and carriage shaft. See
figure 5.
