Return Spring Tension
The spring’s tail is located on the perimeter of the spring housing. This part may be sharp! Use leather gloves or a heavy shop towel to cover the tail while loading or unloading return spring pressure. Failure to use such precautions will results in personal injury.
The spring tension for automatic quill recoil has been
To adjust the spring tension:
1.Loosen black thumb knob, located in the center of the spring housing, by only two or three turns.
Do not completely remove the cover! If you remove the spring cover, the spring will uncoil rapidly, probably cause injury, and be nearly impossible to put back together.
2.Pull the spring cover out a little bit so the notches just clear the roll pin. Hold the spring cover tightly or the force of the spring will make it spin out of control.
3.Rotate the cover to adjust the tension. Push the cover back in to engage the roll pin in one of the notches.
4.Tighten the black thumb knob.
Table Leadscrews
When you turn the handwheels to adjust the position of the table, you will notice slight play in the handwheel before the table begins to move. If this play exceeds 0.010" (measured with the dial at the base of each handwheel), then you will need to adjust the leadscrews.
To adjust the
1.Access the underside of the base through the hole in the bench under the base.
2.Locate the adjuster midway along the lead- screw, inside the base.
3.Tighten the Allen® head setscrew on the adjuster.
4.Test the adjustment by turning the front handwheel. You should detect less than 0.010" of play.
To adjust the
1.Locate the longitudinal leadscrew adjuster under the middle of the table. The Allen® head on the adjustment screw faces to the right.
2.Tighten the adjustment screw with a long Allen® wrench.
3.Test the adjustment by turning one of the side handwheels. You should detect less than 0.010" of play.
These adjusters may require you to fabricate extensions for your hex wrenches. Make adjustments in small increments.
