Safety Foot Brake

This lathe is equipped with a foot brake (see
Figure 9) to quickly stop the spindle instead of
allowing it to coast to a stop on its own. Pressing
the foot brake while the spindle is ON also cuts
power to the motor.

After the foot brake is used, the spindle lever
must be returned to the OFF (middle) position to
reset the spindle switches before spindle rotation
can be re-started.

Figure 8. Tailstock controls.

AG. Tailstock Clamp Bolt:

pressure applied by the tailstock lock lever.

AH. Offset Scale:

of tailstock offset from the spindle centerline.

AI. Offset Lock Bolt:

Clamps together the upper

and lower halves of the tailstock after the
offset is adjusted.

AJ. Tailstock Stop Pin:

Prevents the tailstock

from sliding off of the ways.
