How much space on the machine do you need in order to requalify the taper?
On a vertical machine: We need approximately 17-1/2″ of height under the Z axis and a space on the table to bolt to that is about 14″ long and 8″ wide. On a horizontal machine: We prefer to bolt to a blank pallet. On all machines: The spindle needs to be able to turn at approximately 100 rpm and the retention system needs to be operable. If a machine is equipped with a rotary screw draw-bar that protrudes into the taper, then it needs to be pushed back out of the way or it needs to be removed.
