B-36 MANUAL OPERATION

INDEXING THE TURRET HEAD
The turret can be rotated manually.
Manual turret indexing is used to mount a tool holder and/or cutting tool in the turret or to set tool
offset data.
Close the front door before indexing the turret head.
When the turret head is rotated with cutting
tools mounted in it, tools with long projection
lengths could strike the Z-axis protector, etc.
Before rotating the turret head, make sure that
the tools in the turret head do not interfere with
the protector, since interference will damage
the machine.
When mounting an I.D. cutting tool in the turret
head, make sure that the tool shank does not
project beyond the rear surface of the tool
holder. If it does it will interfere with the turret
base, etc., during turret head rotation,
damaging the machine.
