Vibra-TITE VC-3 Threadmate () is recommended on all bolts that thread into a tapped hole.
Q: What turret sizes are the Plate Bearing Blocks compatible with?
A: The Plate Bearing Blocks are designed to work with every turret size you can think of.
Q: Can I use a plate thicker than 0.25"?
A: Yes, it is possible for plates thicker than 0.25" to be used. However, a longer dowel pin would be needed along with additional spacers.
Issue: The bearings are not spinning smoothly.
Possible Solutions:
Make sure that the #10-32 x 1"L bolts are not too tight.
Bolt the bearing and washer stack-up to the block as shown in the image below. Repeat this step to create the other half of the bearing block.
Failure to install the washer will increase the friction in the system and may lead to inconsistent motion.
Place the dowel pin and radial bearing into position. The dowel pin should be fully inserted into the machined pocket. Place the other second assembly created in step 1 over this, as shown below.
Secure the assembly from Step 2 together using the included #10-32 x 1"L Bolts. Be cautious when tightening the bolts during this step as overtightening them can lead to increased friction.
Make sure that the 1/4" ID x 3/8" OD Steel Washer was placed during . A missing washer increases the friction between the block and the bearing.
