16.With the main body loosely fastened (see Figure 6), move the slide block back and forth, by either pulling/pushing on the lead screw or turning the cross slide handwheel. Stop when the pin in the slide block can be inserted into the hole in the slide. Push the pin, refer to step 7 , into place to secure the slide block.

17.The dovetail ways of the cross slide must clear the top of the taper attachement and line up with the dovetails on the taper attach- ment. The holes in the taper attachment are oversized to allow for height adjustment. Adjust for clearance and check that the cross slide moves in and out, along its full range of motion, without increased resistance. When the slide moves unobstructed and smoothly, tighten the four mounting screws. Note—If you are only able to use two of the holes after step 16, you will need to use the two roll pins included with the taper attachment. To do this you will need to drill holes through the main body and into the carriage. Use a #9 or a 5 mm drill bit. Be sure not to drill any deeper than 5/ 8 " into the carriage. Once the holes are drilled, clean out any debris and insert the roll pins.

18.Assemble the top cover plate, removed in

step 6 , using the six philips head screws

(Figure 7).

19.Attach the deadman to the lathe bed (Figure 8). The deadman is composed of a solid cast bracket and a loose clamping jaw. The bracket has two holes for screws that attach the clamping jaw. It also has a lip that must extend beyond the flat surface of the bed way. The clamping jaw has two set screwst- hat allow for adjustments. These set screws should be adjusted until the clamping surfac- es of the clamping jaw and bottom of the bed way are parallel when the clamping screws are tight. If these surfaces are not parallel, loosen the clamping screws and adjust the set screws as needed.

20.A support rod attaches the deadman to the main body of the taper attachment. The rod attaches to the deadman by way of a hole in the vertical shaft. Insert the rod into the hole and secure in place by tightening the cap screw. The vertical shaft is inserted into the hole in the deadman and secured in position with a cap screw. Loosen the cap screws. Position the rod as shown in Figure 7 and secure the rod to the bottom of the main body with the M6 cap screw provided.

21.Adjust the position of the vertical shaft until the support rod is parallel with the lathe bed. Tighten the cap screws. Note—Position the deadman as close to the main body as pos- sible for the best stability

22.Re-attach the splash guard to the lathe and reposition the lathe as needed.
