Changing Speeds

To change speeds, the belt in the headstock must be

repositioned. A chart on the pulley cover shows the belt

positions needed to make the lathe run at the desired

speed.

To change speeds, do these steps:

1. Loosen the lock handle, remove the belt cover, and

open the access plate (

Figure 6).

2. Loosen the belt tension lock knob, and move the

belt tension lever up to reduce tension on the belt.

3. Locate the desired speed on the speed chart on the

belt cover, and move the belt to the desired grooves

on the motor and spindle pulleys.

For Example: As indicated in the speed chart, pulley

ratio B creates 1270 RPM (

Figure 7).

4. Move the belt tension lever down, tighten the lock

knob, and reinstall the access plate and belt cover.

Adjusting Tailstock

The tailstock is equipped with a cam-action clamping

system to secure it to the lathe bed. When the lever is

tightened, a locking plate lifts up and secures the tool

rest to the bed.

To position the tailstock along the bed, do these

steps:

1. Loosen the release lever and move the tailstock to

the desired position (

Figure 8).

2. Re-engage the release lever.

— If the release lever will not lock the tailstock down

onto the bed (either too loose or too tight), loosen

or tighten the hex nut (located on the underside

of the tailstock) in small increments as needed to

achieve the proper clamping pressure.
