Once you’re set up, procedure steps:

3.9 Ball Nose Set Up
Tip to remember: the pivot point of the radius spindle is the center of the arc on the ball nose. In this
case we are bringing the wheel to the tool.
Ball nose: bring the wheel to the tool
Set up your CUTTERMASTER Professional like in
thegurewithmagneticdialindicatorsinplaceto
keep track of both the x and y tables.
Tool Rest: The tool rest is not needed. Park the
tool rest by removing it and installing it from the oth-
er end. This keeps the hole free from dust and can
be used as a handle for when grinding the radius
instead of holding the tube.
Backlash Compensator for z-axis indexing.
If you nd that there is any drift in the dial at
the top of the tower
Adjust backlash compensator if z dial dri is noticed.
