Note. When assembling the gears they
must mesh snugly. If they are too
loose there will be play in the system,
which could cause chatter and a bad
surface finish. If they are too tight the
system will be difficult to operate.
Rotate the gear arm so that it meshes
with the spindle gear and lock in
position by tightening the allen screw
as shown.
Note. Remove the drive belt from the
motor when using the spiral cutting
attachment.
To engage the copy saddle with the gears,
loosen the clamp screw, rotate the dog so
that the drive lines up, and push forward.
Lock the clamp nut.
When you have finished spiral cutting
and have disassembled the gears
remember to disengage the drive dog and
clamp in the disengaged position with
the clamp nut.
