most of your model g8690 has been assembled at
the factory, but some parts must be assembled or
installed after delivery.
to assemble your machine:
1. install the two guide rails between the two foot
assemblies and secure in place using the four
setscrews (m6-1 x 10) as shown in figure 6.
figure 9. tailstock mounted to guide rails.
4. the tailstock rests on the guide rails and is
held in place by the tailstock bracket using a
double end screw (m12-1.75 x 65), washer
and handle. there are two ways to adjust the
tailstock. the handle located under the lathe
bed can be loosened, allowing the tailstock
to slide up and down the length of the guide
rails; or the hand wheel can be loosened,
allowing the threaded spindle to move back
and forth in the tailstock for fine adjustment.
