Work Table
The work table is granite with a flat lapped surface that serves as the support for
the parts to be measured. Locating pins, mounted to the bottom of the work
table, rest on ball-end screws in the top of the base. The locating pins are ori-
ented to allow the table to expand and contract with the machine.
The dark and light areas that appear in the granite are not defects but rather
natural concentrations or absences of black magnetite mineral. These color
variations do not affect the hardness, durability or accuracy of the granite
surface.
A number of stainless steel M10 threaded inserts are uniformly spaced through-
out the measuring area for clamping work pieces to the table. Note: Bolts used
for clamping the work pieces must not be overtightened, or the inserts may
pull loose from the granite. Maximum torque is 20.5 Nm.
The work table should be kept clean by wiping with alcohol, particularly when
this surface is being used as a datum.
