To align and adjust the handwheel 
and vernier scales:
1.  Loosen the two set screws on 

the vernier scale (see Figure 9), 
rotate the vernier scale so that 
it is in a convenient viewing 
position, the re-tighten the set 
screws.

2.  Use the handwheel to rotate the 

table until the 0° on the table 
rotation scale aligns with the 
center mark on the pointer (see 

Figure 10).

3.  Loosen the set screw on the 

handwheel (see Figure 9), 
rotate the handwheel scale until 
the 0° mark aligns with the 0° 
mark on the vernier scale, then 
re-tighten the set screw.

The vernier scale is used to measure 
table rotation by 10" (ten arc 
seconds) at a time.

Use your rotary table to follow along 
with the example below to better 
understand how to use the vernier 
scale.

note: This example assumes the 
table rotation position is at 0°, and 
the handwheel and vernier scales 
are aligned at 0°.

To set the table at 16° 32' 20":
1.  With the table at 0°, rotate the 

handwheel clockwise four full 
turns, which will rotate the 
table 16°.

— If you go past the handwheel 

scale 0° mark on the fourth 
turn, rotate the table 
counterclockwise
