Mounting Options

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 that with the power feeder unit completely assembled, it will be easier to locate where on the table top you will need to drill your base mounting holes, so you can take advantage of the full range of power feeder swing and adjustments.

Through-Bolt Mounting

We recommend that you mount your new power feeder to the machine table with through bolts, nuts, and washers (Figure 16). This option will give the most rigidity and clamping strength to prevent the feeder base from twisting out of align- ment during use. However, if under-table support webs interfere with washer or nut locations under the table, you must use an optional clamping kit, or drill and thread holes directly into the table as described in Direct Mounting.

Direct Mounting

Use the included mounting template to drill and tap your table, so the power feeder base can be directly mounted to the table surface (Figure 17). If the table is thinner than 3⁄8" thick where the threaded holes would be drilled and tapped, or if support webbing is in the way, the threads may strip or loosen as the power feeder is used. Thread locking compound will not cure this situ- ation. Revert to the Through-Bolt Mounting option. In any case, make sure to use a medium- grade liquid thread locking compound on all threads.

Quick Holder Kit Mounting

For temporary or permanent installation of your power feeder without drilling into the table, you can purchase and install the Model G4175 Quick Holder Kit (Figure 18). These kits, while not as rigid as the through-bolt or direct mount options, require no drilling or tapping, and are adequate for most power feeder applications. Make sure to use an automotive-grade liquid thread locking compound on all threads.
