Re: Slider Toe-Out
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýAnthony,You will not have enough positioning latitude to alter the toe-out using locknut #7. ? Loosen the nut marked #3 on the bottom side of the chassis (the lower one) at all positions except one at either end of the carriage extrusion. ? Slider toe-out should be established before you tackle the height adjustments - that¡¯s why it¡¯s covered first in the Survival Guide. ?So after you adjust toe-out, you will need to check and adjust height. ? Lots of info here: ?? A rubber mallet on the side of the lower carriage (not the sliding extrusion element) may or may not give you the necessary leverage to align toe-out. ? What I do is remove the end cap on the lower carriage, and insert a 2x3 into the largest cavity of the lower carriage and pull or push on the end of the 2x3 to get the slider to move laterally for toe-out adjustment. ? This photo shows where to insert some kind of lever like a 2x3 six feet long (or a piece of pipe, etc) to get some leverage. ? Do NOT try to bang or shove the sliding table extrusion itself for this adjustment since that puts all the twisting force on a relatively small bearing cage - put the force on the lower carriage.
