SECTION 9: OPTIONAL FEATURES
Rim-Drive Rotary Setup
The wheels on the left are the drive wheels which spin the cylinder. The wheels on the right are for support.
The right side wheels are mounted on a scissor jack so they can be raised or lowered to level the top
surface of your cylinder with the X-beam. The scissor jack can be moved left and right to accommodate
cylinders of different lengths.
Rotate the knob to lift
or lower the scissor
jack.
In most cases you will want to load your cylinder with the larger diameter on the left (drive wheel side).
The scissor jack is used to elevate the right side of your cylinder so that the top surface is horizontal. Load
your cylinder onto the Rotary Attachment so that it is just touching the black bumper. Using the clamp to
hold the glass in place is optional. Some odd shaped glasses rotate better if they are clamped to the
drive wheels, but most glasses and other cylindrical objects do not require clamping.
This photo shows the clamp holding
a glass against the drive wheels.
Use the thumbscrews to adjust the
clamp in and out.
Many glasses, like this one, do not require
the use of the clamp. The clamp is used
mostly for hard to rotate cylinders or very
lightweight objects that need more than just
gravity to hold them in place.

Squeeze the tabs to move
