Mounting the tailstock unit
A: Mounting tailstock unit RE M / RE S
B: Mounting tailstock unit RE XS
A) Position both guide shafts of the tailstock unit RE S / RE M in the two through bores of the rotary unit
RDH-S / RDH-M so that these can be secured on the underside of the rotary unit with the appropriate
grubscrews.
For tailstock unit RE M, place the guide shafts (facing the rotary unit) in a middle position between the
rotary unit and the pinole. Secure the two guide shafts to the work surface with suitable screws.
Secure the position of tailstock unit RE S by also screwing the base plate of the tailstock unit to the work
surface.
B) First secure rotary unit RDH-XS to the base plate of the tailstock unit (4x M5). Leave the screws loose
at this stage. Turn the rotary unit axial to the tailstock unit and tighten the screws securely.
Now secure the entire unit to your work surface (if you are using T-nut plates use T-nus and the
appropriate matching screws, see accessories). Leave the screws loose at this stage. Align the unit
precisely with the existing axis system and secure the screws.
