Main Body Assembly | Grizzly H0775 guide

6.Remove the 6 philips head screws from the top cover plate of the main body. Set the screws and cover aside for later use in reas- sembling the main body.

7.Remove the end block and slide block from the main body by pulling up. These two blocks are attached by two cap screws. They are located in the opening you just uncovered in Step 6 The slide block is loosely pinned to a portion of the slide. Be careful not to lose the pin. Either set it aside for future installa- tion or be sure to keep the pin in place.

8.Separate the end block and slide block by loosening the 2 cap screws in the slide block. Set the slide block and cap screws aside for step 13

9.Assemble the end block and bearing (Figure 4). The pocket for the bearing and the thread- ed holes must be facing outwards when slid- ing the end block onto the lead screw.

10.Install the bearing, spacer, and star washer in the same order they were removed. These items will fit inside the opening in the end block.

11.Thread the nut onto the end of the lead screw and hand tighten while holding the cross slide handwheel. Do not over-tighten this nut. To check, turn the end block. Only a small amount of resistance should be felt. Adjust the nut as needed.

12.Hold the nut in place and bend one or more tangs of the star washer to keep the nut in place.

13.Assemble the slide block to the end block using the two cap screws that were already in the slide block. The end block may need to be rotated to line up the holes ( Figure 5).

14.There are four threaded holes (See Figure 5) on the rear of the carriage used to mount the main body to the lathe. Remove any paint or debris from these holes before attemping to mount the main body.

15.Align the four holes in the main body with the thread holes on the carriage. Use the four M8 - 1.25 x 30 cap screws to loosely fasten the main body to the lathe. A long-handled, ball end hex wrench works best for this step ( Figure 6).
