ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS



TAILSTOCK ADJUSTMENTS (Fig. 7)

Loosen the tailstock locking lever (Fig. 7 - 1) and slide the tail-

stock along the lathe bed into the desired position. Retighten

the locking lever.

Loosen the quill locking handle (Fig. 7 - 2) just enough to

unlock the tailstock quill. Turn the handwheel (Fig. 7 - 3)

clockwise to advance the quill and counterclockwise to retract

the quill. Retighten the quill locking handle.

INDEXING/SPINDLE LOCK (Fig. 4 & 10)

Indexing is used to create evenly spaced features around the

circumference of the workpiece while keeping the spindle

locked. There are 24 index positions (Fig. 10 - 1) in the

spindle pulley, each 15° apart, to help you rotate the work-

piece evenly for accurately spaced features.

Place the spindle lock in the locked position (Fig. 4) to help

maintain the certain index point.

CAUTION: Make sure to DISENGAGE the spindle lock

before starting the lathe again. Never start the lathe with the

index pin engaged in the spindle pulley.

SETTING UP THE TAILSTOCK LIVE CENTER

(Fig. 8 & 9)

To install the live center:

1. Rotate the tailstock handwheel (Fig. 8 - 1) clockwise a few

times to advance the quill (Fig. 8 - 2) forward.

2. Make sure the mating surfaces are clean. Push the live

center (Fig. 8 - 3) into the quill.

NOTE: If the tailstock quill gets fully retracted when the

live center is mounted, it will dismount the live center.

This is normal. Remount the live center by extending the

tailstock quill approximately 0.5 inch and pushing the live

center in place.

To remove the live center:

1. Hold the live center (Fig. 9 - 1) to prevent it from falling.

Use a rag to protect your hand from the sharp edges.

2. Rotate the handwheel (Fig. 9 - 2) counterclockwise to re-

tract the quill until the live center is released from the quill.
