Southbend SB1269 - Manual (Page 5)

Installation
To install the taper attachment:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. With the assistance of a helper and using
a 6mm hex wrench, remove the four cap
screws holding the splash guard on the rear
of the lathe.
3. Using a 5mm hex wrench, remove the two
leadscrew end-cap cap screws shown in
Figure 4.
Note: Make sure to keep the correct race with
its original bearing, and do not hammer on
the casting or chisel the inner races out. The
inner race has a loose fit. If it is difficult to
remove from its seat, be patient and spray
some penetrating oil into the bore and
carefully work the race out from the grease
suction that is holding it. You can also soak
the casting in mineral spirits to break this
suction.
7. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove
the eight flat head screws and the taper
attachment top plate (Figure 6).
Figure 6. Top plate removal.
8. Using a 5mm hex wrench, loosen the slide
block set screw, as shown in Figure 7.
