Clean the bed ways thoroughly 1. First level bed longitudinally, compensate for variations of bubble readings with thin mecal shims placed around bolts between bed legs and bench top wntil bed is level -- refer to Fig. 14 for leveling positions, Shim should be the only contact point be- ‘tween bench top and bed legs. KEEP THE LATHE CLEAN ~ Oil and di can easily damage carefully fitted bearing surfaces. machined parts with a clean oily cloth at frequent intervals. Refer to Fig, 15 for approximate size of shin, If the outer of inner edges of legs bear on bench top, bed may be twisted or bowed. 2, Next, level the bed at headstock and «ai stock -- see Fig. 14. Place level at right angles to the bed -- use a square to align the level. Do not turn level end for end Level readings at headstock and tailstock ‘aust be identical. Compensate for variation of bubble teadings by placing shims be- tween bed legs and bench top atthe bole holes. 3, Tighten the four mounting bolts securely and recheck level readings. Check level of bed at frequent intervals.
