Positioning
Headstock
The head tilts 45° forward or backward and
rotates 90° left or right (see Figures 26–27).
Any time the head has been tilted or rotated, you
must tram the spindle with the table when setting
the headstock back to the 90° position. This is the
only way to ensure precision milling results later.
Refer to Tramming Spindle, on Page 57 for more
information.
