Instructions for Re-Calibration of Clearance Dial:

  • Take a properly-ground 1" drill. Adjust the scale to 1" and, without the spindle motor running, move the drill holder until the drill point contacts the wheel face.
  • Adjust the dial hand wheel until the drill can be swung through the entire grinding arc while maintaining contact with the wheel face.
  • When this has been accomplished, loosen the jam nut on the circular rack (#DB12D) and turn the circular rack using a screw driver in the slot provided until the dial pointer is in the proper position at the 1" mark. Tighten the jam nut.
 
 
If this process has been done correctly, the machine is now in proper calibration.
