    • In the event of a crash or suspected repeatability issues, checking the turret alignment is necessary.

    • To check turret alignment, position an indicator along the face of the turret and move it back and forth in the X direction, noting the tram measurements.

  2. Begin by loosening the six 4mm screws on the sheet metal cover at the back of the machine; there’s no need to remove them completely. Slide the cover upward and pull it outward to detach. With the main panel removed, locate the specified areas for the 5mm socket head cap screws securing the front panels. Remove the two 5mm socket head cap screws (SHCS) on the left side.

    • The highlighted covers must be removed to access the locking mechanism for the turret.

  4. The area needing access is highlighted in blue. The following steps reference this area once the covers have been removed: There is a black, threaded plug on the underside that can be removed using a 6mm hex key. Beneath this plug, there is a 5mm hex screw that, when loosened, will allow the turret to move.

    • By tapping the turret with a rubber mallet, small adjustments to the turret's alignment can be made.

  5. Using a tenths indicator, tram the turret using the ground oblong pockets on the face of the disk. Once the turret is tightened down and rechecked for squareness, reinstall the plug and sheet metal.
    • Using a tenths indicator, tram the turret using the ground oblong pockets on the face of the disk.

    • Once the turret is tightened down and rechecked for squareness, reinstall the plug and sheet metal.

    • The turret is now aligned.
