W1764 Power Feeder |

|
Base Mounting |
|
|
|
To correctly position this power feeder on your table top, |
|
|
|
completely assemble the power feeder first, then refer |
|
|
|
this section and mount your base to the table using one |
|
|
|
of the three methods below. The reason for this order, is | Feeder | Bolt |
|
that with the power feeder unit completely assembled, it |
|
| |
Base |
|
| |
will be easier to locate where on the table top you will |
|
| |
| Flat Washer |
| |
need to drill your base mounting holes, so you can take |
|
| |
|
|
| |
advantage of the full range of power feeder swing and |
|
|
|
adjustments. | Machine Table |

We recommend that you mount your new power feeder | Table | Lock Washer |
|
to the machine table with through bolts, nuts and wash- | Locking Hex Nut |
| |
Support |
| ||
ers (Figure 14). This option will give the most rigidity and | Webbing |
|
|
clamping strength to prevent the feeder base from twist- | Figure 14. |
| |
ing out of alignment during use. However, if the included |
| ||
mounting bolt template shows that any |
|
|
|
port webs will interfere with any washer or nut locations |
|
| SETUP |
under the table, you will have to use an optional clamping |
|
| |
kit, or drill and thread holes directly into the table as |
|
| |
described in the Direct Mount Option paragraph below. | Feeder | Bolt | |

|
You may choose to use the included mounting template |
| Flat Washer |
|
|
|
| |
and drill and tap your table, so the power feeder base | Machine Table |
|
|
can be directly mounted to the table surface (Figure 15). |
|
| |
But make sure that the machine |
|
|
|
than 3⁄8" thick where the threaded holes are drilled and |
| Apply Medium |
|
tapped. If the table is any thinner, you run the risk of | Table |
| |
Grade Thread |
| ||
having shallow and weak threads that will allow the bolts |
| ||
Support | Locking Compound |
| |
to loosen as the power feeder is used. Thread locking |
| ||
Webbing | to the Threads |
| |
compound will not cure this problem. Do not drill and tap | Figure 15. Direct mounting. |
| |
into any table support webs or table supports to compen- |
| ||
sate for a thin table, or you will weaken the table and |
|
|
|
possibly cause cracking. Revert to either the Through- |
|
|
|
Bolt Option or the Quick Holder Kit Option if the table is | Feeder | Bolt |
|
too thin or if support webbing is in the way. In any case, |

make sure to use an |

Quick Holder Kit Option |
| Quick Holder |
|
For temporary or permanent installation of your power | Machine Table |
|
|
feeder without drilling into the table, you can purchase |
|
|
|
and install the Model D3868 Quick Holder Kit (Figure 16). | Apply Medium | Quick |
|
These kits, while not as rigid as the | Grade Thread |
| |
Holder |

mount options, require no drilling or tapping, and are | Locking Compound |
| |

to the Threads |
|
| |
adequate for most power feeder applications. Make sure |
|
| |
|
|
| |
to use an |
