Having
the option to extend the headstock further out can sometimes allow surfaces to
be machined that could not otherwise be reached without breaking down the setup
and re-clamping the part. The spacer moves the spindle out an additional
1-1/4". In many cases, it is much easier to increase your machinable
surface area by using this spacer than to re-clamp the part. Precisely machined
keyways keep the headstock accurately aligned. A precision ground alignment key
is included. NOTE:
This part is the same as the lathe headstock spacer block, so you need not
duplicate it if you already have the P/N 1291 spacer block kit unless you wish
to leave the spacer block in place on either the lathe or mill and don't wish to
deal with changing it back and forth between machines. Also note that the Model
5400 mill comes with this spacer block as part of its standard equipment. The
Model 2000 mill has ram in/out adjustment that, for the most part, eliminates
the need for this accessory, so it is not included with that mill. There may
still be special setups where you would find it useful on that machine as well. RETURN TO ACCESSORIES MASTER LIST
