    f. clean outer spindles
  6. Examine back end of the outer spindles for wear caused
    by extensions.
    a. If the wear is greater than 0.002" deep, grind back
      end of the outer spindle until it is square and has no wear
      marks. Rebuilt spindles may also need to be ground
      NOTE: FAILURE TO PERFORM THIS OPERATION WILL
      RESULT IN IMPROPER MATING BETWEEN NEW
      SHORT EXTENSION P/N MB-635-13 & THE
      OUTER SPINDLE, CAUSING THE WEDGE CHUCK
      NP-100-A TO NEED FREQUENT ADJUSTMENTS.
  7. To install new or rebuilt spindles:
    a. loosen & unscrew central nut of the tool post stop
       P/N 2186
    b. this step applies only to machines with spindle
      stopping attachments P/N 2496-5-SA or spindle

      SPINDLE AFTER TIGHTENING.
  13. Replace spindle collets
  14. Put wedge chuck mechanism into chuck slide P/N 328
    a. slide it on to machine
    b. be careful not to push out key P/N NP-100-4 from

         clears the chuck slide roll & pin.
  18. Adjust:
    a. collet tension
      - same as with fulcrums
    b. CAUTION, a slight turn of the adjusting nut
      changes the collet tension dramatically
    c. Explain to machine operator about dramatic
      adjustment
    d. chuck closing block
      1. open all five wedge chucks approx. 3/32 (.093) in, (2mm)

      4. IF EXCESS VARIATION IN GAP BETWEEN OUTER
         HOUSING P/N NP-100-2 AND PRESSURE COLLAR P/N
        NP-100-5 (MAXIMUM GAP = 0.010 INCH / .25 MM)
          -exchange/ replace chuck slides

    WARNING TO ALL USERS OF THE NP-100 WEDGE CHUCKING
    MECHANISM FOR THE WORK AND BURRING SPINDLES.

    The NEW STYLE DAVENPORT® CHUCK ADJUSTING NUT,
    641-2 for standard and oversize Davenport® Automatics MAY CAUSE
    SEVER DAMAGE TO THE WEDGE CHUCKING SYSTEM.

    New style chuck adjusting nuts have a tendency to
    self-tighten wile the machine is running. This causes excessive
    closing pressure in the chucking system.

    We do not recombined the use of this style chuck adjusting
    nut.

    We recommend the old style chuck adjusting nuts P/N 641 and
    the chuck adjusting nut washer P/N 897 system. It can
    be locked more tightly and does not have a tenancy to
    self tighten.
