To rotate the turret:

 

1.DISCONNECT MILL FROM POWER!

Always lock the turret firmly in place after adjusting the rotation. Unexpected move- ment of the head during operations could cause the cutter to bind with the workpiece causing damage to the cutter and workpiece, and possible personal injury.

2.Loosen the three locking hex nuts on the tur- ret (see Figure 27).

3.Rotate the head and turret around the column to the left or right, and use the turret rotation scale to determine the amount of rotation.

NOTICE

Do not rotate the headstock past 50º right or 50º left. If you do, you run the risk of binding a turret bolt and the headstock could jam.

—­ If the headstock jams, remove the rear- most turret locking hex nut. While swivel- ing the exposed hex bolt back and forth, rotate the column until the headstock freely moves, then reinstall the locking hex nut.

Note: Swiveling the hex bolt head allows the flats of the bolt head to re-align with the T-slot.

4.Re-tighten the three locking hex nuts to secure the head and turret in place.
