Spindle Alignment

[cyclops124]

Hello folks, am I just purchased a 96x48 standard with a 4HP spindle. Assembly was very smooth until I began to mount the spindle. When I pull the z-axis beam down to expose all six mounting holes, only 4 are exposed. the other 2 are still covered by the Y-Z car which makes screwing them into the aluminum plate impossible. was I shipped the wrong car with the wrong clearance or are we just on our own to figure out how to mount this thing properly without breaking the Y-Z car. Of course with me, any help would be greatly appreciated. thank You

If you raise it all the way up you can remove the stop bolt which will let it go further down.

I found that if I used a ball end allen wrench I could do the last two up with the stop bolt still in place.

Thank you very much for the timely reply. Heading out to get it done right now. Take care of yourself.

Spindle (All six bolts flush and snug) and VFD mounted and ready to go. Thank you very much.
