Mounting On Tool Post - Grizzly T27400 Owner's Manual

Mounting on Tool
Post
The T27400 mounts directly to the tool post on
the compound slide of the lathe. On small lathes,
ensure proper workpiece clearance by mounting
the grinder before attaching a workpiece to the
lathe chuck.
To mount grinder on the lathe tool post:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Remove tool post nut (or lever) from lathe,
and remove tool holder or any other tool
hardware from tool post stud.
3.
Rotate compound slide parallel to lathe
bedway, then tighten rotation locks on slide.
4.
Place grinder over tool post on compound
slide, and position it so grinding wheel faces
lathe centerline, as shown in Figure 4.

Unexpected movement of grinder on tool
post could cause grinding wheel to break
apart and strike operator or bystanders
with great force. Always make sure grinder
is firmly secured to tool post so there is no
side-to-side or up-and-down movement.
5.
Use tool post nut to firmly secure grinder in
place, as shown in Figure 5.
Note: Tool post mounting hole of grinder
will accept tool post up to 1" in diameter.
However, if diameter or height of your tool
post allows for side-to-side or up-and-down
movement of grinder when nut is fully tight-
ened, you will need to fabricate a custom
washer for tool post.

Ensure power cord is positioned away
from moving parts and does not pose an
entanglement hazard.
