Taper Attachment for G4016
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
The H0775 Taper Attachment mounts quickly to
the back bed way of the G4016 Gear Head Lathe.
Accurate tapers of up to 12" can be produced
without repositioning the attachment. The H0775
features scales at both ends, reading inches-per-
foot and degrees. An angle adjusting screw with
fine threads achieves exacting control when set-
ting tapers. Another feature is the ability to use
it without disengaging the cross slide nut. This
will allow it to be functional at any time by simply
tightening the deadman.
The H0775 comes carefully packaged and it is
coated with import grease to protect it from rust.
You will need to clean all pieces thoroughly prior
to installation and use. Use a solvent cleaner
or citrus-based degreaser, like Grizzly's G7895
Citrus Degreaser. For optimum performance
from your machine, make sure you clean all
moving parts or sliding contact surfaces that
are coated. Avoid chlorine-based solvents and
gasoline as they may damage painted surfaces
should they come in contact. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions when using any type
of cleaning product.

Installing the Taper Attachment
1. Disconnect the lathe from its power
source.
2. Remove the splash guard from the back of
the lathe. If the lathe must be moved to allow
access to the splash guard, consult the lathe
manual for safe moving information. Note: If
you move the lathe, be sure to re-level it after
returning the lathe to its final location.

6. Remove the 6 philips head screws from the
top cover plate of the main body. Set the
screws and cover aside for later use in reas-
sembling the main body.
7. Remove the end block and slide block from
the main body by pulling up. These two
blocks are attached by two cap screws. They
are located in the opening you just uncovered
in Step 6 The slide block is loosely pinned to
a portion of the slide. Be careful not to lose
the pin. Either set it aside for future installa-
tion or be sure to keep the pin in place.
8. Separate the end block and slide block by
loosening the 2 cap screws in the slide block.
Set the slide block and cap screws aside for
step 13
Figure 5. Slide Block Assembly.
Hold the nut in place and bend one or more
tangs of the star washer to keep the nut in
place.
9. Assemble the end block and bearing (Figure
4). The pocket for the bearing and the thread-
ed holes must be facing outwards when slid-
ing the end block onto the lead screw.
using the two cap screws that were already
in the slide block. The end block may need to
be rotated to line up the holes (Figure 5).
There are four threaded holes (See Figure 5)
on the rear of the carriage used to mount the
main body to the lathe. Remove any paint or
debris from these holes before attemping to
mount the main body.
Align the four holes in the main body with the
thread holes on the carriage. Use the four
M8 - 1.25 x 30 cap screws to loosely fasten
the main body to the lathe. A long-handled,
ball end hex wrench works best for this step
(Figure 6).
Figure 4. End block assembly.
10. Install the bearing, spacer, and star washer
in the same order they were removed. These
items will fit inside the opening in the end
block.
11. Thread the nut onto the end of the lead screw
and hand tighten while holding the cross
slide handwheel. Do not over-tighten this nut.
To check, turn the end block. Only a small
amount of resistance should be felt. Adjust
the nut as needed.

16. With the main body loosely fastened (see
Figure 6), move the slide block back and
forth, by either pulling/pushing on the lead
screw or turning the cross slide handwheel.
Stop when the pin in the slide block can be
inserted into the hole in the slide. Push the
pin, refer to step 7, into place to secure the
slide block.
19. Attach the deadman to the lathe bed (Figure
8). The deadman is composed of a solid
cast bracket and a loose clamping jaw. The
bracket has two holes for screws that attach
the clamping jaw. It also has a lip that must
extend beyond the flat surface of the bed
way. The clamping jaw has two set screwst-
hat allow for adjustments. These set screws
should be adjusted until the clamping surfac-
es of the clamping jaw and bottom of the bed
way are parallel when the clamping screws
are tight. If these surfaces are not parallel,
loosen the clamping screws and adjust the
set screws as needed.
17. The dovetail ways of the cross slide must
clear the top of the taper attachement and
line up with the dovetails on the taper attach-
ment. The holes in the taper attachment are
oversized to allow for height adjustment.
Adjust for clearance and check that the cross
slide moves in and out, along its full range of
motion, without increased resistance. When
the slide moves unobstructed and smoothly,
tighten the four mounting screws. Note—If
you are only able to use two of the holes after
step 16, you will need to use the two roll pins
included with the taper attachment. To do this
you will need to drill holes through the main
body and into the carriage. Use a #9 or a 5
mm drill bit. Be sure not to drill any deeper
than 5/8" into the carriage. Once the holes
are drilled, clean out any debris and insert the
roll pins.
18. Assemble the top cover plate, removed in
step 6, using the six philips head screws
(Figure 7).
Figure 8. Components of the deadman.
20. A support rod attaches the deadman to the
main body of the taper attachment. The rod
attaches to the deadman by way of a hole in
the vertical shaft. Insert the rod into the hole
and secure in place by tightening the cap
screw. The vertical shaft is inserted into the
hole in the deadman and secured in position
with a cap screw. Loosen the cap screws.
Position the rod as shown in Figure 7 and
secure the rod to the bottom of the main body
with the M6 cap screw provided.
21. Adjust the position of the vertical shaft until
the support rod is parallel with the lathe bed.
Tighten the cap screws. Note—Position the
deadman as close to the main body as pos-
sible for the best stability
Figure 7. Support Rod and Deadman Assembly.
22. Re-attach the splash guard to the lathe and
reposition the lathe as needed.

3. There are two gib screws, for making adjust-
Angle Adjustments
ments, located just above and behind the
dovetail on the main body. To tighten the gib,
loosen the gib screw on the left (as viewed
from the front of the lathe) and tighten the
right screw. To loosen the gib, loosen the
right screw and tighten the left screw.
The taper angle is adjusted by loosening the two
cap screws at the ends of the dovetail slide on
the taper attachment. The angle adjusting knob
allows for fine control of the angle (Figure 9).
There are two scales, one at each end of the main
body. One is labeled for degrees and the other is
labeled for inches-per-foot (I.P.F.). Using these
scales will allow you to get close to the desired
taper, but finer adjustments should be made with
an indicator and test bar. Once the desired setting
is met, tighten the two cap screws. Double check
the setting to ensure accuracy.
4. The gib is properly adjusted when the slide
can be moved by hand with moderate force.
5. Do not replace the support rod at this time.
Bottom Gib Adjustments
The bottom gib is mounted in the back inside edge
of the main body casting. Three set screws hold
it in place and are secured with nuts as shown in
Figure 9. If the gib is too loose, finish problems
will occur. If the gib is too tight, the slide will not
move smoothly.
Loosen the three nuts and apply tension
evenly to the three set screws. Use only
moderate pressure when tightening these set
screws. They should be tight enough to keep
the slide from rocking in the main body cast-
ing. Check by rocking the slide by hand.
When satisfied with your results, tighten the
nuts while maintaining the set screw posi-
tion. Double check the slide to ensure that it
moves smoothly. Re-adjust if necessary.
Figure 9. Taper Attachment Adjustments.
Top Gib Adjustments
The top gib is mounted to a slide and moves
along the dovetail on the main body. The slide
maintains the motion of the cross slide to produce
the taper. If the gib is too loose, the angle can be
affected and the finish will suffer. If the gib is too
tight, the slide will not move freely.
3. Re-attach the support rod to the main body.
Deadman Operation
To use the taper attachment, tighten the clamp-
ing screws on the deadman to secure it to the
lathe bed. When not in use, loosen the clamping
screws. Removal of the deadman or the taper
attachment is not necessary when changing from
taper turning to straight turning.
To adjust the top gib, begin by removing the
cap screw that holds the support rod to the
main body.
Adjust the dovetail angle to zero.
