Instructions
❗If you have an ATC spindle, do not use these instructions. Skip to the next step and complete the remaining machine assembly.
‼️Once your machine is built, go to this page for ATC setup.
1. Place the spindle mount against the Z-axis gantry plate, oriented so the spindle clamping screws are on the right side.
2. Use two (2) M6 shoulder screws to securely attach the spindle mount onto the gantry plate at the top row of holes, starting from the right, then the left.
3. Use two (2) M6-25mm BHCS to secure the spindle mount on the bottom row of holes.
4. With your hands, rotate the Z-axis coupler so the Z gantry assembly moves downwards until it reaches the middle of the ballscrew.
5. Loosen the two (2) spindle mount clamping screws.
6. Grab the styrofoam packaging for the spindle underneath the Z-axis.
7. Slide the spindle into the mount from above, and rest it on the packaging.
8. Adjust the spindle mount height by rotating the Z-axis coupler until the tip of the spindle is approximately 6.5” from the bottom of the mount.
9. Tighten the spindle mount clamping screws to keep the spindle in place.
