Through-Bolt Mounting
We recommend that you mount your new power feeder to
the machine table with through bolts, nuts and washers
(
Figure 9
). This option will give the most rigidity and
clamping strength to prevent the feeder base from
twisting out of alignment during use. However, if any
under-table support webs interfere with washer or nut
locations under the table, you will have to use an optional
clamping kit, or drill and thread holes directly into the
table as described in the
Direct Mount Option
paragraph
below.
Direct Mounting
You may choose to use the included mounting template
and drill and tap your table, so the power feeder base
can be directly mounted to the table surface (
Figure 10
).
But make sure that the machine cast-iron table is no less
than
3
⁄
8
" thick where the threaded holes are drilled and
tapped. If the table is any thinner, you run the risk of
having shallow and weak threads that will allow the bolts
to loosen as the power feeder is used. Thread locking
compound will not cure this problem. Do not drill and
tap into any table support webs or table supports to
compensate for a thin table, or you will weaken the table
and possibly cause cracking. Revert to the
Through-Bolt
Option
if the table is too thin or if support webbing is in
the way. In any case, make sure to use an automotive-
grade liquid thread locking compound on all threads.
