Step 1: Set the game

Insert the fixed bearing rail into the guide up to the beginning of the lettering.

Step 2: Set game

Check the play in the rail by gently swiveling it back and forth.

Step 3: Set game

Adjust the play by carefully screwing the threaded studs in evenly using a 2mm Allen key until the ball bearings eliminate any play. If the rail is too tight, unscrew the threaded studs slightly and press the ball bearings in manually. Then repeat step 2 until the rail runs without play. Note: The play can be adjusted after installation.

Step 4: Set game

Rotate the rail 180° and repeat steps 1.2 and 1.3 for the second half. Finally, check that the entire rail moves smoothly.

Set the play of the second fixed bearing identically to the first rail.

Step 5: Preparation for work

Cut a base plate for your sliding table. We recommend a plywood sheet measuring 600 mm deep, 760 mm wide, and 12-15 mm thick. This size is ideal for the Bosch GTS 10 XC and provides ample surface area for precise crosscuts.

Step 7: Preparation for work

From the cutting area marking, go 160 mm to the left and 151 mm to the right and mark the center line of the roller rails there. Transfer these markings to the opposite side as well.

Step 7: Preparation for work

From the cutting area marking, go 160 mm to the left and 151 mm to the right and mark the center line of the roller rails there. Transfer these markings to the opposite side as well.

Step 8: Preparation for work

Use this Assembly tool for the Cross Cut Sled, to position the rails at right angles and at the correct distance from the front edge
to align the base plate. Use the viewing hole to align the mounting device at the correct height on the plate.DANGER! (If you are working on the underside, the fixed bearing is on the left and the loose bearing is on the right.)

Mark the drill holes through the rails on the base plate.

Attention! If you are working on the underside, then the Fixed berth on the left page and the Loose bearing on the right.

Step 9: Drilling

Drill the marked holes with a 4.5 mm drill bit. We recommend the Famag Excellent wood drill bits for precise work.

Step 10: Lowering

Turn the plate over and countersink the drilled holes at a 90° angle.
Countersink the countersink until the heads of the supplied countersunk screws are flush with the surface of the plate.

Step 11: Assembly

Insert the M4 nuts into the rails to be mounted and then screw them in from below using the supplied countersunk screws.
You will need a 2.5mm hex key for this.

Step 12: Assembly

Turn the plate over and use the other side of the mounting tool to align the rails at the correct distance and collinear with each other. Then mark the drill holes. To ensure they are truly collinear, use the marker from step 7 and align your rail in the center of it.
