with six screws (5).

& 11) from the slide base.

6. Thoroughly clean all parts of the taper
attachment with cleaning solvent.

slidescrew (C, Fig. 1)

the cross feed screw.

9. Remove two hex socket cap screws (D, Fig.

10. Attach the main body (A, Fig. 2) to the
carriage with two M10 x 30 hex socket cap
screws, and two M10 flat washers (B, Fig.

2). Tighten the hex cap screws to hold the
main body in place but loose enough to
allow adjustment with a dead blow hammer,
or rubber mallet.

11. Place the cross slide block (A, Fig. 3) onto
the taper slide rest (22).

12. Position the main body so that the hole in
the crossslide block (B, Fig. 3) linesup with

rubber mallet, or a dead blow hammer to
position the main body so that the slide
passes smoothly over the cross slide screw
without lifting it.
