6. Assembly Instructions & - cont.
Angle Straps & Bed Bars
2. Introduce the angle straps to each of the
end brackets positioned at either end of the
assembly area. The angle straps should initially
be placed at 90º to the end brackets. Insert the
long bolts through the strap, end bracket and
mounting plate Fig. 6.2.
3. Screw the nut and washer onto to the long
bolts, don't tighten at this stage as the angle
straps will need to be re-positioned. Fig. 6.3.
If the lathe is being mounted onto a wooden
bench, the cast bench mounting washers should
be utilised in between the nut and underside of
the wooden bench, Fig 9.1, section 9.
4. Both angle straps should now be at 90º to the
end brackets with nut and washer screwed on to
the long bolts ready for the bed bars Fig. 6.4.
5. Place the bed bars on the end brackets in the
gaps left by the angle straps ensuring that there
is equal over hang at each end. Fig. 6.5.
6. Now align the angle straps to straddle the
bed bars. The angle straps must be positioned
so that the kinematic points oppose the end
brackets, Fig. 6.6 i.e. on the end brackets we
placed the single raised area to the front of the
lathe, therefore the angle strap should oppose
this with the concave side, Fig. 6.6, being at the
front of the lathe.
7. Once the angle straps and bed bars are
correctly positioned tighten up the long bolts
to secure this stage of the assembly. The nut
underneath will need to be held with a second
spanner or pair of mole grips while the bolt is
tightened from the top (not supplied).
