9.0 Electrical Connections
All electrical connections must
be completed by a qualified electrician. Failure
to comply may cause serious injury and/or
damage to the machinery and property.
The GHB-1340A and GHB-1440A bench lathes are
rated at 2HP, 1PH, 230V only. Confirm power
available at the lathe's location is the same rating
as the lathe.
Make sure the lathe is properly grounded.
10.0 General Description
10.1 Lathe Bed
The lathe bed (A, Fig. 10) is made of high grade
cast iron. By combining high cheeks with strong
cross ribs, a bed with low vibration and high rigidity
is realized. Two precision ground V-slideways,
reinforced by heat hardening and grinding, are an
accurate guide for the carriage and headstock. The
main drive motor is mounted to the rear of the bed.

10.2 Carriage
The carriage (B, Fig. 10) is made from high quality
cast iron. The sliding parts are smooth ground.
The cross-slide is mounted on the carriage and
moves on a dove-tailed slide which can be
adjusted for play by means of the gibs.
The compound slide (C, Fig. 10), which is mounted
on the cross slide (D, Fig. 10), can be rotated
through 360°. The compound slide and the cross
slide travel in a dovetail slide and have adjustable
gibs. A four-way tool post (E, Fig. 10) is fitted on
the compound slide.
10.3 Headstock
The headstock (F, Fig. 10) is cast from high grade,
low vibration cast iron. It is mounted to the bed by
four bolts with two adjusting bolts for alignment. In
the head, the spindle is mounted on two precision
taper roller bearings. The hollow spindle has Morse
Taper #5 with a 1-1/2" bore.
10.4 Four Way Tool Post
The four-way tool post (E, Fig. 10) is mounted on
the compoundslide and allows a maximum of four
tools to be mounted simultaneously. Remember to
