Installing/Removing

Headstock Center

The included spur center installs into the head-
stock spindle with an MT#2 tapered fit.

To install the headstock center:

1. DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM THE

POWER SOURCE!

2. If the faceplate is installed on the spindle,

remove it (see

Page 27 for detailed instruc-

tions).

3. Make sure the mating surfaces of the center

and spindle are free of debris and oily sub-
stances before inserting the center.

4. Insert the tapered end of the center into

the spindle, and push it in with a quick, firm
motion (see

Figure 25).

5. Make sure the center is securely installed by

attempting to pull it out by hand—a properly
installed center will not pull easily.

To remove the headstock center with the

knockout tool:

1. DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM THE

POWER SOURCE!

2. Hold a clean rag under the spindle or wear a

glove to catch the center when you remove
it.

3. Insert the knockout tool through the outbound

end of the spindle and firmly tap the center,
catching it as it falls (see

Figure 26).

Headstock Center

Make sure the headstock and tailstock cen-

ters are properly aligned before beginning

any turning operation. See Aligning Centers

on Page 41 for additional instructions on this

procedure. Failure to observe this warning

could result in the workpiece being thrown

from the lathe resulting in serious personal

injury.
