hex nut in small increments to fine tune the
clamping pressure as needed.

To adjust the angle or height of the tool rest:

1. Loosen the tool rest lock handle and adjust

the angle or height of the tool rest.

Adjusting Tool Rest

The tool rest base is equipped with a cam-action
clamping system to secure it to the lathe bed.
When the tool rest base lock handle is tightened,
a locking plate lifts up and secures the tool rest
assembly to the bed. The tool rest can also be
positioned and locked at a specific angle or
height.

To position the tool rest assembly along the

length of the lathe bed:

1. Loosen the tool rest base lock handle and

move the tool rest assembly to the desired
position on the lathe bed (see

Figure 23).
