Rim-Drive Rotary Setup
The wheels on the le are the drive wheels which spin the cylinder. The wheels on the right are for support.
The right-side wheels are mounted on a scissor jack so they can be raised or lowered to level the top
suace of your cylinder with the X-beam. The scissor jack can be moved le and right to accommodate
cylinders of dierent lengths.
In most cases you will want to load your cylinder with the larger diameter on the le (drive wheel side).
The scissor jack is used to elevate the right side of your cylinder so that the top suace is horizontal. Load
your cylinder onto the Rotary Attachment so that it is just touching the black bumper. Using the clamp to
hold the glass in place is optional. Some odd shaped glasses rotate better if they are clamped to the
drive wheels, but most glasses and other cylindrical objects do not require clamping.
Use the scissor jack to raise the right side of the cylinder so that the engraving/cutting suace is
horizontal. The photos below show the same flashlight at a severe angle to horizontal. If your cylinder is

a glass against the drive wheels.
Use the thumbscrews to adjust the
clamp in and out.
Many glasses, like this one, do not require
the use of the clamp. The clamp is used
mostly for hard to rotate cylinders or very
lightweight objects that need more than just
gravity to hold them in place.
