Rostock MAX v2 Assembly Guide – 4thEd.
In order to install the top plate on the base you've assembled, you'll need to carefully begin to
align the tabs in the three vertical supports and the three tower supports with the notches in the top
plate. As you work one section down on to the tabs, install a #6-32 1” screw at a near hole to keep that
section from popping out while you're working your way around the top. It takes a little patience to get
done and if you find yourself getting frustrated with it, walk away for a bit. The last thing you want to
do is get annoyed and help it along with a little percussive maintenance. ;)
Once you've gotten the top fully seated, fully tighten all of the #6-32 1” screws. Tighten the
three vertical supports from the top and then tighten down the three tower supports. Flip the base
upside down and repeat on the bottom screws. Also tighten the screws holding the two idler bearings
in each tower base.
You don't want to over-tighten them however. If you do, you'll collapse the laser cut nut
pockets.
