Assembly

With the exception of the handwheel handles, the

lathe is shipped fully assembled.

To install the handwheel handles, thread the

large handle into the carriage handwheel and the

small handle into the cross slide handwheel, as

shown in Figure 20.

and Anchor

Lag screws and anchors, or anchor studs

(below), are two popular methods for bolting

machinery to a concrete floor. We suggest you

research the many options and methods for

mounting your machine and choose the best one

for your specific application.

To level the machine, use a precision level to

make sure the bedways are level from side-to-

side and from front-to-back.

— If using the included leveling pads (see

Figure 18), place them under the six

leveling jack bolt locations, then adjust

the bolts to level the lathe.

— If using mounting hardware that does not

allow for adjustment, level the lathe by

placing metal shims between the lathe

base and the floor before bolting it down.

Jack Bolts

Most electrical codes require that machines

connected to the power source by fixed

conduit MUST be secured to the floor.
