5. Once you are satisfied with the adjustments tighten the five gib mounting bolts and recheck
your adjustments. This procedure may take a few tries. You can now remount the vise to
the mounting plate.
6. You will need to realign the vise to be square with the cutter. Insert a piece of 1-1/4” OD
tubing or shaft into the spindle and lightly tighten the set screws. Hold a combination
square or machinist square tight in the groove of the V jaw as shown. Loosen the adjusting
jam nuts and rotate the vise until the square and the tube / shaft in the spindle are at 90° to
each other. Use a wrench and tighten the adjusting jam nuts. Check the degree pointer. If it
does not read 90° you will need to loosen the screw and set it back to 90°.
7. If the hand wheels feel loose or tight you will need to adjust the Nylock nut in the center of
each hand wheel to set the tension.
8. If you have any questions please call 1-800-467-2464 for technical support.
