SPINDLE SPEEDS

IMPORTANT:

This tool provides variable rate spindle speeds from 450 to 2600 RPM. To change speeds, depress the release (A) Fig.

ALIGNING HEADSTOCK
CENTER TO
TAILSTOCK CENTER

The tailstock will move slightly when it is tightened. To
ensure that the tailstock center will always be in line with
the headstock center:
1.

Install the pointed centers (A) and (B) Fig. 25 into the

spindles.
2.

Loosen locking lever (back side of tailstock), and

slide the tailstock (D) to the left until the tailstock center
(B) is almost contacting the headstock center (A).
Tighten the locking lever. Check to see if the tailstock
center point (B) is in line with the headstock center point
(A).
3.

To adjust, loosen the headstock locking shaft (C)

Fig. 25, and align the headstock center point to the tail-
stock center point. Tighten the locking shaft (C) Fig. 25.
