Setting Hammer K3 Toe Out #hammer


 

I have the Hammer K3 Winner Comfort and have been tinkering with adjusting the slider height relative to the cast iron table as well as the toe out of the slider. I've now messed up twice where I'd get the toe out where I want to be and in the process of adjusting the height and tightening the slider into place I'm shifting the toe out from where I had originally set it. I have six nut/bolt adjustment points on my slider and when i'm adjusting the toe out I'm leaving one nut/bolt fixed and adjusting the others. Is there a bolt tightening sequence I should be following to avoid this? Any thoughts here are greatly appreciated.


 

Hi BaboonFury

I have attached a Hammer setup manual and also the portion on adjustments.

I hope that helps.

I've had my table off a couple of times.? It can be very very easy? but? it can also be? a monster. My forst time was the monster. I didn't know what to do.

Technically? it is easy peasy.

Loosen all the nuts on those six standbolts under the carriage.? Using the bootom nuts only? bring the table to the height,? toe, and angle you want.

then?? by hand start snugging the upper nuts down.? Use your fingers.

Leep an indicator on a movable base handy? or a decent straight edge. to check your progress.? The table will move as you snug the upper nuts down. So it's a wee bit fiddly.

DONT EVER try to use the power of the nuts? to force the carriage.? That way lies disaster.? You can wreck your? slider that way.?? The trick is finesse not force.

When it all looks great break out a wrench and snug them? a little each? as you check the table position and angle? work your way around and? bob's her uncle? you'll have 'r dun

Thank you for the reply. I've been using a bit of tension from the nuts to get to my final height so I'm glad you pointed out not to do that. Is there a rule of thumb for how many thousandths I should account for when I'm tightening down the top nuts?


 

does any one? have a manual like that? for the k700s adjusments??

It's a coarse thread so it's a big ball park.

Spent most of today adjusting the slider and man it is finicky. When I'd finally try to tighten down the carriage it would tweak the toe out by a few thousandths. In the end I let that slide and then hit the side of the slider carriage with a dead blow to get it close to what I had it at before tightening everything.
