Compound Rest; Cross Slide Nut; Tailstock Bed Clamp - CHESTER Crusader VS Operation Manual

9.4

Compound Rest

It is the same procedure as the cross slide. To
take up for the wear on the compound rest
taper gib strip can adjust the slotted head
screw on the tool post side of the compound
rest by a clockwise direction. The procedure
is to slacken the similar screw at the rear then
retighten this after adjustment to clamp the gib
into its new position.

Cross Slide Nut

A provision is made for the elimination of
backlash in the cross slide nut, the procedure
for adjustment being as follows: take off the
dust plate which is mounted on the rear face of
the saddle groove, turn the cross feed nut until
it reaches the edge of the feed rod. Turn the
socket head cap screw in a clockwise direction
as required. Care should be taken to avoid
over adjustment, a 45° turn at the socket head
cap screw represents approximately 0.125
(0.005") take up of backlash.

Tailstock Bed Clamp

The angular lock position of the bed clamp
lever is adjusted by means of the self-locking
hexagon bolt located on the underside of the
tailstock and between the bed ways.
