On Machine Surface Setup (Quick Setup)
- This gauge is pre-calibrated with a squareness within 0.0005”.
- Set the gauge on the machine surface and both dial will read zero.
On Machine Setup (Complete Setup)
- Step 1. Insert the gauge to the spindle
- Step 2. Use a marker to mark a dot under the left indicator contact (as a setup reference point); adjust the spindle height till the indicator reads zero.
- Step 3. Turn the spindle 180° and let the right indicator contact overlap on the marked dot. The indicator should zero. Otherwise, turn the dial indicator bezel till the indicator needle points to zero. – Gauge setup is completed.
- X-axis adjustment
- Turn spindle and let the gauge parallel to the X-axis.
- Turn the spindle head around B and observe the needle reading of the two indicators; make necessary adjustment until both indicators share the same readings.
- Y-axis adjustment
- Turn spindle and let the gauge parallel to the Y-axis.
- Turn the spindle head around A and observe the needle reading of the two indicators; make necessary adjustment until both indicators share the same readings.
