Tool Rest-Wet Wheel

The large horizontally mounted wet grinding wheel also has a tool rest situated over it to aid the user in the grinding operations:

1.Position the two support brackets in the wide grooves which are located on each side of the water tray. The recess in the shape of a half circle should be facing out- ward on each side. See Figure 4.

Figure 4. Mounting rest holder.

2.Thread a locking knob with washer through the hole in the bottom of the holder and into the water tray body. These knobs control the overall height of the tool rest assembly.

3.Set the tool rest into the half circle recess- es. The sliding tool rest should already be assembled onto the holder, if it is not, slide the tool rest into the groove. It only goes one way as there is a tab preventing incor- rect installation. The miter gauge also should already be positioned on the sliding tool rest.

4.Attach the tool rest assembly to the support brackets. Using the M4-.7 x 30mm Hex Head Bolt, push the bolt through from the inside of the holder and secure a knob to it on the outside. See Figure 5. These two knobs control the angular adjustment of the tool rest. The hex heads will lock into a recess molded into the inside of the brack- et.
