Moving Tool Bracket

The tool carriage is comprised of three separate
components: the index bracket, guide rod, and
carriage slides. Each of these combine to pro-
vide refined control of the tooling during grinding
operations.
Index Bracket
The index bracket consists of three mounts that
move independently of each other and can be
locked in position anywhere along their arc of
travel with locking levers (see Figure 14).

The vertical mount rotates front to back and
allows the bracket to be moved manually along
the length of the guide rod.
The horizontal mount tilts left to right from 0˚–45˚
and includes an embedded degree scale.
The lateral mount twists side-to-side, relative to
the spindle, and includes an adjustable degree
scale.

Guide Rod
The guide rod is equipped with two mechanisms
for adjusting the position of the index bracket: a
dial and a micro-adjust knob.
The guide rod dial (see Figure 15) moves the
guide rod side to side, parallel with the grinding
wheel, and is graduated in 0.0005" increments.
The guide rod micro-adjust knob rotates the
guide rod forward and backward, relative to the
grinding wheel.
The guide rod lock lever can be tightened to pro-
vide added rigidity during operation, especially
for close tolerance work.
