The traverse slide is driven using the 125mm wheel and rod handle at the
front of the machine. Behind the boss of the handle is a graduated ring
(thimble) so that the movement of the slide can be measured. The thimble is
held to the drive shaft by friction, but can be pre-positioned and locked in
place by a ribbed thumb screw to establish a predetermined start or stop
dimension.
The Worktable is a machined casting 585mm long by 190mm wide,
(730x210mm for the ZX30M). There is a clearance 'well' at each end of the
table and the centre span of 450mm, (560mm for the ZX30M) has 4 No. 'T'
slots machined along its length, to facilitate the fixing of machine vices or
clamps. The 'T' slots are 24mm. (See Fig 2). The worktable is mounted onto
the traverse slide. The end faces of the worktable have housings machined in
them to mount and anchor the drive shaft. The front face of the worktable has
a slot machined into it, into which the positive stops are mounted. These
stops can be moved and secured anywhere along the slot, and will strike
against the positive stop plate to limit the travel of the worktable.
The Worktable slide is driven using the 125mm wheel and rod handles at
graduated ring (thimble) so that the movement of the worktable can be
measured. The thimble is held to the drive shaft by friction, but can be
pre-positioned and locked in place by a ribbed thumb screw to establish a
predetermined start or stop dimension.
