Bed Way (1) - The Bed Way is the base of
the work area under the Chuck and
Tailstock. It is where the Tailstock and
Compound Rest are attached and what
they slide along.
chuck (2) - The Chuck holds the three Jaws
(two sets included) which clamp the work
piece in place.
compound rest (105/108) - The Compound
Rest and Compound Slide (100) work
together to adjust the position of the
Cutting Tool to the desired location.
Jaws (166 & 168) - The Jaws fit into the
Chuck (2) and hold the workpiece in
place. There are a set of internal Jaws
(168), which fit inside the workpiece
and External Jaws (166) which fit on the
outside of the workpiece.
Lead screw (129) - The Lead Screw controls
automatic feeding. In thread cutting or
when you want to cut into the workpiece
automatically, you engage the Lead
Screw with the Feeding Direction
Selector (35) and use the Automatic
Feed Handle (79). Keep track of the cut
with the Thread Dial Indicator (302).
Live center (143) - The Live Center fits into
the Tailstock Quill (142) on the Tailstock
(138) and helps to hold the end of the
workpiece that is opposite from the
Chuck (2). A live center spins with the
workpiece and chuck, while a dead
center (sold separately) does not spin.
tailstock (138) - The Tailstock holds the
Tailstock Quill (142) which is used to
hold various tools (sold separately) or a
Live Center (143).
thread indicator dial (302) - The Threading
Dial is used to measure the number of
rotations of the Lead Screw when thread
cutting. It eliminates the need to reverse
the lathe and return the carriage to the
starting point each time a successive
threading cut is taken. You must adjust
the Threading Dial so that it engages
the Lead Screw (129) in order for it to
function.
threading gears (45,50, 59, 157-165) - The
Threading Gears are positioned under
the Gear Drive Cover (53) on the far
left side of the Lathe. They are used in
various configurations for thread cutting.
tool Post (112) - The Tool Post sits on the
top of the Compound Rest (105/108) and
is used to hold various cutting tools by
clamping them in place with Tool Post
Bolts (110).
