head to tail using the outer most footpads (4 corners).
3. Place the level “front to back” and then level the machine.
4. Double check level in both directions.
5. Adjust the remaining footpads to contact the floor, check for full contact on all pads.
6. Place the level on the ground surface of the saddle running perpendicular to the Z
axis way surface.
7. Check that all footpads have full contact on the floor, then tighten the jam nuts.
8. Turn a part without using the tail stock, then check the part for taper. .0002” per ft. is
the specification for maximum allowable taper.
9. Adjust the head stock to remove taper if found by loosening the mounting bolts and
adjusting the bolts, found on the back side of the head stock (behind mag box).
Repeat step 7.
