Side-To-Side Head Tilt Adjustment - Van Norman FG5000 Instruction Manual And Parts List

GRINDING HEAD ADJUSTMENTS (continued)
3. SIDE-TO-SIDE HEAD TILT ADJUSTMENT: The grinding head is also adjustable for side-to-
side tilt. This adjustment will affect the flatness and/or parallelism of the ground work piece.
The double configuration used between the grinder motor and the cast iron motor flange
enables the motor to be mounted on the front plate, which pivots on a 1" dia. pin to allow
side-to-side adjustment (Figure 31). Adjustment may be made as follows:
a. Loosen four 3/8-16 nuts (9/16 Hex) approximately 1/2 to 3/4 turn.
b. Loosen adjusting screw on same side of machine as corresponds to the low side of the
grinding wheel. Tighten screw on opposite side to pivot adjusting plate appropriate
amount (Figure 32).
c. Check side-to-side tilt using same dial indicator setup used in checking front to rear tilt
above. The dial indicator reading should be identical when swung from one side to the
other.
