Copy saddle “V” guide adjustment.
Blocks that are on eccentric cams control the
clearance between the bed and the copy saddle.
By loosening the shaft clamping screw and
rotating the eccentric the clearance is adjusted.
It is not recommended that the adjustment be
changed unless excessive ware has taken place.
If adjustment is required loosen the clamp screw
and rotate the shaft with an allen key until there
is a snug fit between the bed and the copy
saddle. The copy saddle should move smoothly
with out excessive side ways movement.
Copy saddle bed wipers.
The copy saddle is provided with nylon wipers
that assist in removing any dirt that is on the bed
of the lathe when the copy saddle moves along
the bed. The pads will need to be removed,
cleaned and readjusted periodically. When
refitting the wipers ensure a snug fit between the
wiper and the bed. They should not be too tight
on the bed, as this will cause excessive ware to
the wipers.
Tailstock “V” guide adjustment.
“V” blocks that are on screw threads can be
adjusted to change the position that the
clamping handle rests in when in the clamped
position. To adjust the tailstock to bed
loosen the locknut, rotate the screw and re
clamp the locknut. Note It is important
that both screws are rotated the same
amount. If the screws are moved different
amounts the adjustable “V” blocks will
not function correctly.
