K. O. LEE B6062 - Tailstocks and Workheads

Instruction Manual Section Four
clamp bar socket screws (9) located at the right end of the table. Use
the swivel table adjustment screws (8) to align it with the sub-table.
When the pointer (11) mark aligns with the 0 line on the index plate (10),
the two tables are aligned If greater accuracy than a sight scale is needed,
use a test arbor between tailstocks in conjunction with a dial indicator to
measure exact taper in inches per foot. The index plate is calibrated in
inches per foot up to 3 inches either side of center.
2. The swivel table is also used for setting clearance angles on cutters which
have been mounted by various means on the table. The index plate is cali-
brated up to 15 degrees either side of center. For large clearance angles,
or when additional distance between the work and the wheel is needed, the
swivel table may be pivoted on its centra! hub so as to cause its ends to
leave the bed rests on the sub-table. The center hub is calibrated 360
degrees and utilizes two friction socket screws (12) Photo 5 which may
be tightened for additional stability when the clamp bar cannot be used.
F Tailstocks and Workheads:
1. Tailstocks are used to hold cutters and other work which must be mounted
on straight arbors. With the exception of the B6060 and B6062 series
grinders, all machines have tailstocks with centers at a height of 4,130
inches above the swivel table. The former models have a height of 6.130
inches above the swivel table. Tailstock centers (RIGHT AND LEFT) on
both of the B922 and B6022 sets are interchangeable. Each center's flat
side may be faced in either of four positions — up, down, front, or rear,
when the handle locking screw (21) Photo 5 is loosened sufficiently. The
right-hand tailstock has a tension adjustment threaded plunger (15) which
is adjustable by hand. Lever (16) is used to retract the right-hand center
from the work during loading and removal of work between the centers.
2 Before mounting the tailstocks to the table, clean the table and check for
any table surface roughness that might affect the bedding of the stocks to
the table. The tailstocks are mounted to the grinder table by keeping the
special T-slot bolts loose and sliding the head of each bolt into the table
T-slot (FROM THE CENTER OR END OF THE TABLE), while still attached
to the tailstock. Position the tailstocks to the desired location and align the
bases to the table by tightening the clamp bar assembly at the front base of
each with the hex socket screw (13) Be sure that the T-slot blocks of
each tailstock drop into the grinder table slot. Finally, tighten the nut
on each T-slot bolt, thus locking the tailstocks firmly to the work table. ■
3. Workheads (NOT STANDARD EQUIPMENT) are mounted to the table in
the same manner as tailstocks. Their base plates must be aligned with the
work table before tightened down with T-slot bolts. Most workheads
have swivel elements which allow the spindle axis to be rotated in the hori-
zontal and vertical planes. All swivels are calibrated in degrees with an 0
index mark reading.
G Using Diamond and Wheel Dressers to True and Dress the Wheel:
1. The B640K and B6040K diamond dressers (see standard equipment, pages
96, 97, 99) contain a diamond nib which may be rotated periodically in its
column mounting. The dresser mounts to the table with a T-slot bolt.
Observe the following steps when the dresser is to be used.
