Tensioning Headstock
Height Chain
The headstock height chain transfers movement
from the elevation handwheel to the columns that
control headstock height. The chain drive can be
adjusted to remove slack if the chain stretches
over time or is loosened during headstock leveling
procedures.

To adjust headstock height chain tension:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove motor access panel to access head-
stock height chain (see Figure 51).
3.
Loosen the two chain tension lock bolts, then
push idler sprocket against chain with mod-
erate pressure to eliminate slack in chain.
While maintaining pressure on idler sprocket,
re-tighten lock bolts (see Figure 51).
NOTICE
DO NOT let chain fall off sprockets. It can
be very difficult to return chain to its proper
location on sprockets without changing
table adjustments.
4. Clean and lubricate chain and sprockets (refer
to Headstock Height Chain & Sprockets on
Page 34 for detailed instructions), then re-
install motor access panel.

Adjusting Cutterhead
Parallelism
Maximum Allowable Tolerances:
Cutterhead/Table Side-to-Side
..................0.002"
Head Casting/Table Front/Back
................ 0.020"
Cutterhead parallelism is critical to the operation
of the machine. As such, it is essential that the
Cutterhead is parallel with the table (within 0.002")
from side-to-side, as illustrated in Figure 52.

cutterhead.

How the table sits in relation to the head casting
from front-to-back is also important (see Figure
53). Because the feed rollers and chip breaker will
be adjusted off the table position, the tolerances
on the front-to-back positioning are not as critical
as the cutterhead/table side-to-side positioning.
Therefore, the maximum allowable tolerance for
the front-to-back parallelism is not more than
0.020".
