Delta 46-408, Instruction Manual

9

The carriage assembly was aligned at the factory. However, shipment handling may require a readjusment of the
carriage assembly. Carriage travel along the guide rail is critical to the proper alignment of the duplicator to the lathe
centers. Perform the following procedures and adjustments (if necessary) prior to the initial operation of the duplicator.

1.

DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE AND TIGHTEN ALL DUPLICATOR MOUNTING BOLTS.

2.

Grasp the carriage assembly (A) Fig. 44. Check for any unwanted play (movement) between the carriage assembly and rail. If

no play is present between the carriage assembly and rail, proceed with 

STEP 4

.

3.

If loose movement is detected in the carriage assembly (A) Fig. 44, determine which side of the carriage assembly needs

adjustment. Loosen two corresponding lock screws (B) Fig. 44, located at the rear of carriage assembly (A), and turn corre-
sponding adjustment screw (C) clockwise. 

IMPORTANT:

Turn the adjustment screw (C) only slightly. Check and readjust if nec-

essary. Remove all play between the carriage assembly (A) and rail.Tighten the two corresponding lock screws (B).

4.

Rotate handwheel (D) Fig. 44, and move carriage assembly (A) back and forth the entire length of the duplicator guide rail

(E). Check for smooth operation of the carriage assembly (A). 

NOTE:

Proper movement of the carriage assembly is the decision

of the individual operator. However, a small amount of drag is normal.

5.

If an adjustment is necessary, refer to STEP 3. Tighten four lock screws (B) after adjustment is made.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY

ATTACHING CUTTING TOOL

1.

Loosen set screw (A) Fig. 45, and insert cutting tool (B) into cutting tool arm (C) until the edge of cutting tool (B)

extends approximately 1" out from the cutting tool arm (C). Tighten set screw (A).

ATTACHING CHIP DEFLECTOR

The duplicator is supplied with a chip deflector assembly (A) Fig. 46 that keeps dust and wood chips from entering the
carriage assembly (B).

To attach the chip deflector assembly (A) to the cutting tool advancement arm (C), carefully slide the sleeve of the chip
deflector assembly (A) over cutting tool advancement arm (C). The pressure fit of the chip deflector sleeve will keep the
chip deflector assembly (A) in place during operation.
