TMC 4th Axis - FST Tailstock Installation

Please refer to the Part Number: 31539, Tailstock Option-4th Axis-TMC document that is provided at the bottom of this guide for more information regarding installation of the tailstock.

Customers are responsible for tramming both the 4th Axis unit and the tailstock based on their operations.

Clean and degrease the worktable by wiping it with a clean rag and WD-40.

Upon proper installation of the 4th Axis unit on the TMC, the tailstock must be set up across the 4th Axis on the same T-slot on the worktable. Both the 4th Axis and the tailstock have a key to drop in and slide to any position, on any T-slot.

Make sure that both the keys for the 4th Axis and the tailstock are aligned with a reasonable amount of distance away from each other to perform work based on the customer's operations.

Set up tailstock by installing (A) the two T-Bolts (Part Number: 23792) onto the worktable first, then (B) the tailstock (Part Number: 27061-1), then (C) the two washers (Part Number: 23794), and finally, (D) the two flange nuts (Part Number: 23793) on the front and back of the tailstock. Do not overtighten the assembled nuts onto the worktable.

If the customer requires more precise measurements, it is highly recommended that they use a ground rod center that is inserted into the chuck, and is held by a dead center on the tailstock end in order to conduct measurements with a dial indicator. This would be based on the customer's needs.
