Looking for a document/tutorial

[zan29]

I have been searching for the document that shows you how to realign the squaring plate with the adjustment pin. Has anyone seen it?
Have no idea what to look for.

Thanks a bunch!

To clarify what Suzanne is requesting. She needs instruction on how to adjust the STATIONARY plate alignment (near the keypad), not the Sliding plate. (The alignment pin had come out of hers and needs to be put back in the correct spot). Supposedly, there is a "document" that describes a procedure to adjust the stationary plate. I don't recall ever seeing a procedure for stationary plate adjustment in any document, but maybe someone here has? Anyway, if you know of a document such as this, please post the link.

I have been looking for it......... no such animal.
I thought it may be in the tutorials for belt change/upgrade.
They just say tape it so it stays where it is and no further mention adjusting it.

All I have never seen is the advice to put a piece of tape on it when removing the squaring plate so the position of the pin is saved. I think you are on your own with this one.

As a first approximation, make it parallel to the two left guide posts. Measure from the guide posts to the edge of the squaring plate (about 1") and adjust until the distances are the same. That should be close.

Thanks, Dan. That seems like it would work alright!

Joe from LHR said there is a document out there but never gave me a link. Dan I will try your method for sure.

Thanks Michael!

One really wants to make sure the squaring plate is parallel to the belt travel. I assume that the belt travel is perpendicular to the y bit travel. I would use a large square to scribe a perpendicular line across a board and then adjust the squaring plate so the bit follows the line.

Will definitely try Dan! Thanks again!

Not really related to the squaring plate, but with the upgrade done the CW web site it is sure harder to find the documents now. The old site/page had them all listed out. Now you have the search and hope your search finds the correct one.
