11. CLAMP PLATE. . -holds the Lathe Tool Rest td the
Vertical Channels for rough turning to the general shape
and cleaning up sharp corners on the finished turnings.
The tool Rest should be set approximately 1/8 inch
below the centerline of the Lathe and approximately
1/8 inch away from the workpiece.
NOTE: The shank length can vary from one tool Rest
to another and in some cases may be slightly too long.
Measure the shank on your Tool Rest and if they are
longer than 1-7/8 inches, cut them off with a hacksaw.
Clamp the Tool Rest in a vise as shown. Do not damp it
or on the machined top surface as this
would cause burrs. : .
Remove the large washer and spring from the tool rest
holder on your Craftsman Lathe and fasten them to the
Clamp Plate with the 1-1/4 inches long Hexagon Head
screw furnished v;ith your Cdpy-Crafter.
For large diameter turnings, place the Tool Holder on
the plate and position it on the Vertical Channels as
shown for rough.turning or finishing.
NOTE; The Clamp Plate is underneath both Channels.
For smalt diameter turnings, the back end of the Clamp
Plate IS underneath the back Channel while the front
end is on top of the near Channel. This permits'the
Tool Rest to be positioned close to the turning. : ;
