hp power Feeder

-15-

to correctly position this power feeder on your
table top, completely assemble the power feeder
first, then refer to this section and mount your
base to the table using one of the two 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 9). 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

10). if the table is thinner than

⁄

" 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.
