How is the degree above centerline adjusted on Aloris type quick
change tool holders? Do you just adjust the toolholder and then the toolbit is say... 5 degress above centerline but is still perpendicular to the ways?I am asking because I am getting ready to buy one after everyones suggestions and on the lantern type you set the 5 degrees above centerline for mild steel by adjusting the tool holder in the post with the rocker. This puts the tool at an angle to the ways. Does it make a difference as long it is the proper amount of degrees above center line for the material being cut whether it is perpendicular or at an angle? It seems that perpendicular would be much more beneficial. Thanks for any help. -Steve |
