TECHNICAL DOCUMENT
3. Find a straight rod between 8 in. and 12 in. (203 mm and 305 mm) long. Verify that it's straight: roll it on a
known flat surface (like a granite surface plate).
Note: You'll use the rod to verify that the ATC is correctly installed on the mill, so it must be
straight.
4. Put the alignment rod into a tool holder.
5. Put the tool holder into the fork so that the groove in the tool holder slides into the fork. Don't rest the tool
holder on top of the fork.

Examine Perpendicularity in the Y Direction

vertical edge of the machinist's square.
If the rod is perpendicular to the vertical edge of the machinist's square, go to "Examine
l
Perpendicularity in the X Direction" (on the next page).
If the rod must be adjusted, go to Step 2.
