Level Way tubes(A)
Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2009 7:37 pm
This thread shows a method of reassembling the way tubes and adjusting them to be level.
Level the bench tubes (both ends). This establishes a reference for adjusting the way tube stop. Shim the tubes if necessary.
Notice the stop for the way tubes in the tie bar. Insert the tie bar over both waytubes all the way to the stop. Do Not tighten the set screws at this time.
This shows the way tube leveling screw. You must access it from below while watching a level on the top(next thread).
This pix shows the screw on an older mark 5.
Thanks to judaspre1982 for the following: Even older Mark 5's(pre 1955) did NOT have the adjusting screw and required you to file the casting!
This thread is one of several which illustrate a method for reassembling a Mark V. Please post a reply and inform me of any errors or confusion. They WILL be fixed!
