Figure 6.3 The chuck attaches to the spindle flange with three bolts.
The one bolt located on the other side of the spindle does not show.
Put the machine on a strong, rigid table 40” long x 24” wide x 28 – 33” high. We
recommend you bolt down the machine using the holes in the base of the bed or using
the lifting handles the same way they held the machine to the shipping pallet.
Carefully lift the machines by the handles, move it over the stand, and lower it into
position. Do not let any part of your body come between the machine and the stand. Bolt
the machine to the stand, using one flat washer and one lockwasher per bolt.
Before permanently anchoring the machine, you may want to level the bed (Figure 6.4).
The bed is rigid and supports itself, but having a level bed simplifies many setup
operations. Use a precision level, both along and across the bed (Figure 6.5). Shim up
any low points with sheet metal or other noncompressible material. After tightening the
anchor bolts, check the bed again.
Figure 6.4 Check along and across the bed to make sure it is level.
