Indexing
indexing on a lathe is typically used for workpiece
layout and other auxiliary operations that require
equal distances around the workpiece circumfer-
ence, such as clock faces or inlays.
By applying the spindle lock into one of the 24
holes in the spindle, the workpiece can be posi-
tioned to one of 24 equal points that are 15°
degrees apart.
For special sequencing of positions, each spindle
position has its own number, which can be viewed
through the viewing window, as shown in
figure
25, on the outboard side of the headstock.
3. open the cabinet door, loosen the lock
lever, pull up on the height lever to raise the
motor to the highest position, then re-tighten
the lock lever to secure the motor in place
(
figure 24).
NOTICE
Always disconnect the lathe from power
before using the spindle lock feature. Never
resume turning operations without making
sure that the spindle lock is disengaged and
the spindle turns freely by hand. Otherwise
machine damage could result.
