To remove a tool from the spindle, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT THE LATHE/MILL FROM POWER!
2. Return the headstock to the highest position and
loosen the drawbar.
3. Put on leather gloves and support the chuck or collet
and unthread the drawbar approximately four turns.
DO NOT completely unscrew the drawbar prior to
striking the drawbar or the initial threads of the
drawbar and tool will be crushed.
4. Lightly strike the drawbar with a dead blow hammer
or a piece of wood to release the arbor from the
spindle.
5. Prepair to catch the arbor, and unscrew the drawbar
until the arbor drops into your hand.
Removing Tools
To install a tool in the spindle, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT THE LATHE/MILL FROM POWER!
2. Carefully clean the surface of the arbor and spindle
taper. Ensure that they are free of debris and burrs.
3. Insert the arbor into the spindle, and rotate the
arbor so the slot in the arbor lines up with the pin
inside of the spindle.
4. Press the arbor up firmly to seat it with the spindle.
5. Finger tighten the drawbar into place (Figure 45),
then use a 12mm wrench to tighten the drawbar
( Figure 46).
Note: Overtightening the drawbar makes removal
difficult and stretches the threads of the arbor and
the drawbar.
6. Clear away all items from the cutting tool before
turning the mill ON.
