G2891 Lathe Copy Attachment -9-
Mounting
The Model G2891 mounts easily on Grizzly Lathe
Models G1067Z and G1495. It will also mount on
most other lathes having a bed size of at least
40''. Two mounting brackets attach the bed of the
Model G2891 securely to the bed of the lathe.
The mounting process is as follows:
1. Mount the two bed brackets perpendicular
to the lathe bed with the large cap screws
and the square threaded mounting plates
provided. The heads of the cap screws
should be on top of the brackets and the
mounting plates should be below the bed.
To provide a solid base for the Copy
Attachment base, the mounting brackets
should be centered on points measuring
20% of the distance across the bed from
the headstock and tailstock. See Figure 2.
On a lathe with a 40" bed, brackets will be
centered approximately 8" from the head-
stock and tailstock. Some minor degree of
variation may be necessary to eliminate
any interference between the Copy
Attachment and the normal operation of the
lathe.
The front of the brackets should cantilever
over the front of the lathe bed by about 6".
Just finger-tighten the cap screws for now.

2. Slide the two hex head bolts with clamping
plates attached into the channel located
along the bottom of the Copy Attachment
main body. See Figure 3. Place the Copy
Attachment onto the bed brackets installed
in Step 1, dropping the hex bolts through
the bed bracket slots at the front of the
lathe. Center the attachment body with the
lathe bed and slip the packing block, flat
washers, spring washers and nuts provided
over the hex bolts and just finger-tighten.
Make certain the Copy Attachment does
not block access to any of the lathe con-
trols. Some lateral adjustment can be done
to assure clearance if necessary.
