3.2.2 Leveling :
The production accuracy of all precision machinery depends on the accuracy which the machine
is installed . Manufacturing tolerance of the machine can only be guaranteed if the machine is firmly
and properly installed . Once the machine is lowered on the prepared foundation . Machinist levels
should be used alternately on the vice slide plates and the work feed table , and adjust the left-and-right
and fore-and-aft level of the machine with leveling bolt .
The fore-and-aft level should be adjusted so that the level of the rear end is approximately 10 mm
(3/8" - 1/2") higher than the level of the front end , to provide proper return of the cutting fluid , and
easy operation of car feeding .
The left-and-right level should be adjusted so that the level of the left end is approximately 3 mm (1/8")
higher than the level of the right end , to provide proper return of the cutting fluid , After the proper
leveling position has been obtained anchor the machine with anchor bolts .
CAUTION : All leveling bolts should support the weight of the machine evenly .
