SETUP
Through-Bolt Mounting
We recommend that you mount your new power feeder
to the machine table using the included M10-1.5 x 50 hex
bolts and lock washers, plus additional flat washers and
locking hex nuts for a through-bolt setup (see Figure
8). This option will give the most rigidity and clamping
strength to prevent the feeder base from twisting out of
alignment during use. However, if the included mounting
bolt template shows that any under-table support webs
will interfere with any washer or nut locations under the
table, you will have to use an optional clamping kit, or
drill and thread holes directly into the table as described
in the Direct Mount Option paragraph below.
Direct Mounting
Use the included mounting template to drill and tap your
table, so the power feeder base can be directly mounted
to the table surface (see Figure 9) using the included
M10-1.5 x 50 hex bolts and lock washers, plus additional
flat washers. If the table is thinner than than
3
⁄8" thick
where the threaded holes would be drilled and tapped,
or if support webbing is in the way, the threads may strip
or loosen as the power feeder is used. Thread locking
compound will not cure this problem. Revert to the
Through-Bolt Mounting option or the Quick Holder Kit
Option if the table is too thin or if support webbing is in
the way. In any case, make sure to use a medium-grade
liquid thread locking compound on all threads.
Quick Holder Mounting
For temporary or permanent installation of your power
feeder without drilling into the table, you can purchase
and install the Model D3868 Quick Holder Kit (see Figure
10). These kits, while not as rigid as the through-bolt or
direct mount options, require no drilling or tapping, and
are adequate for most power feeder applications. Make
sure to use an automotive-grade liquid thread locking
compound on all threads.
