Camlock Stud Adjustment - Grizzly G0600 Manual Insert

Camlock Stud
Adjustment
When fitting a chuck or face plate with camlock
studs, or when mounting a new chuck or face-
plate, it may be necessary to adjust the camlock
studs.
In order to properly install or adjust one or more
camlock studs, you must remove a stud locking
cap screw, then thread the camlock stud in or out
until the line on the side of the stud is flush with
the top of the chuck casting (Figure 19). This is
an initial adjustment.
When you place the chuck onto the lathe spindle,
you may find that one or more camlocks do not
fully point between the "V" marks on the chuck.

If this is the case, you will have to remove the
chuck and fine-tune the camlock stud adjustment.
See Figure 19 for which direction to turn the
camlock studs.
Once you have adjusted the camlock studs, install
the chuck or faceplate as outlined in "To install
chuck or faceplate" on Page 25.
NOTICE
Never install a chuck or faceplate without
having the camlock cap screws in place
or fully tightened. If you ignore this notice,
the chuck may never be able to be removed
since the camlock studs will turn with the
camlocks and never release.
