How to calibrate the HPC 1200CMB "Blitz" without the Calibration kit
I will be calibrating this HPC blitz
machine which unfortunately is out of
calibration and we're gonna start with a
spacing first we're gonna have to adjust
the the tip stop spacing because every
time we change that we will mess up the
shoulder gauge so it's pretty
straightforward
I code cut a key with a number 9 cut on
the third position using my best punch
which I know is accurate and I'm gonna
put it in with the B vise and usually I
believe you use the 90 M C cutter for
best this is the 1011 but it doesn't
matter because all the cutters have the
center in the same spot so as long as I
sent her in the middle part we should be
good and here we have card C 3 and no if
you look down there you can see the
cutter is perfectly in the center of the
cut and if you look right here the
spacing is off so we're gonna have to
fix that now the way we do that is we
have to move the carriage I believe to
the right and there are four set screws
holding it together there are two down
here and
back here there are also two so I'm
going to loosen these up okay
they're super loose to begin with that's
probably why it's off all right okay and
this is already starting to move without
the rod so now what I'm gonna do is I'm
going to dial it in I'm gonna line up
the cut I can see this properly
cut it breaks
[Music]
okay believe I have lined up so the key
is perfectly lined up in the cut and the
needle double check here the needle is
perfectly on the number three yep and
now I'm just gonna go ahead and tighten
these one at a time without moving the
carriage
double-check yeah we're still aligned I
don't that is done we can move over and
adjust the shoulder stop we're gonna
turn the vise back around to the a we're
gonna use a factory pre-cut key and
we're just gonna pick any spot here
using the Schlage c-45 card and let's
see we have a relatively deep cut on the
number two I'm gonna dial it to the
number two and then line up
dial it to the number two space right
here and then I put it into the second
cut on the key and I haven't engaged the
shoulder gauge yet ones I know I'm in
the right spot I tighten it up and then
we're gonna okay with the shoulder
gauging yes looks like it's it's pretty
much dead on already let's just pretend
it's not the way you move this also very
simple there's a set screw turn so you
can see it right in here
and all you do is loosen that get out of
the way and then you can move this
bottom rod around and whenever you turn
it you move the shoulder gage oh no
that's completely off and I believe
right there a little further yeah right
there this is what I want it
yeah we're it barely touches but it's
not tight and then carefully tighten
this back up
I'm gonna double-check my spacing yep
and it's perfectly set all right now
we're going to go over to the debt and
that is also relatively simple we're
gonna take the CMMI micrometer card inch
edge off and I'm gonna be using
quick-set keys because they're nice and
flat at the bottom so we're not gonna
have any deviation from it turning and
it's much easier to measure with a
micrometer other keys I really don't
care about spacing so I'm just gonna
dial it somewhere and I'm gonna be
cutting the key to any known death
let's just go to
[Music]
now cut two point three zero zero so if
I put this on here we should be
perfectly at zero and we are not we are
off by a lot by the 6002 adjust the
depth we loosen these two little set
screws here that are holding the top rod
in place that actuate s' the depth
plunger
don't make those all the way loose
because that gets difficult quickly and
our wrench fits right on the end here
okay
now let's think so we were cutting too
deep so if we were cutting too deep I
believe up I'm just gonna do that right
now but I'm guessing here just gonna put
it back in like I really have to show
the gauge it because I'm just cutting
anywhere you gotta do the same thing
go to point three zero zero just
somewhere else
and see if I made it
okay and it looks like I moved it the
wrong way
maybe
you know get back to the other one
you can move to the right away just not
very far
okay and we are pretty much dead on and
I believe this is where I'm gonna leave
it I'm not gonna move it for I think I
think we might be 1,000 off or half a
thousands but I want to leave it right
here that's good enough
these machines are never gonna be as
accurate as the framing - unfortunately
anyway I hope this helped
