TAILSTOCK LIVE CENTER
The tailstock live center (A) Fig. 14, supplied with your
lathe, is equipped with a No. 2 Morse Taper shank.
NOTE: Before inserting the live center, clean both the
shank and the inside of the tailstock to remove any
grease or debris. To remove the live center (A) from the
tailstock spindle (B), use the knockout bar (C) Fig. 14
(supplied) through the hole (D) in the opposite end of the
spindle.
TOOL REST
The tool rest (A) and tool rest base (B) are shown in Fig.
16. To position the tool rest on the lathe bed, lift the
clamp handle (C), move the tool rest base and lock it in
place by pushing down on the handle (C). To adjust the
tool rest (A) for the correct height, loosen the locking
lever (D), move the tool rest (A) up or down and tighten
the locking lever (D).
NOTE: The locking lever (D) Fig. 16 can be positioned
on the left or right side of the tool rest base (B). To repo-
sition the tool rest locking lever (D), unscrew the lever
counterclockwise. A threaded hole is provided in the left
side of tool rest base (B) to accept the locking lever (D)
if desired.
NOTE: Clamp the tool rest firmly while operating the
lathe.
ADJUSTING CLAMPS ON THE
HEADSTOCK AND TAILSTOCK
The headstock and tailstock can be moved along the
lathe bed. A downward push on the handle (A) Fig. 15
(tailstock shown) locks the mechanism, while an upward
movement of the handle releases the securing action.
The clamps are pre-set at the factory. However, should
either need adjusting, use an 11/16” wrench (B) Fig. 15 to
slightly loosen or tighten the two nuts (C) Fig. 15 shown
here on the tailstock.
NOTE: Tighten or loosen both nuts equally.
NOTE: Clamp the headstock and tailstock firmly while
operating the lathe.
ADJUSTING CLAMP ON
TOOL REST
To adjust the tool rest clamping action, use a 11/16”
wrench to loosen or tighten the single nut (A) Fig. 17.
