Headstock Center

The included spur center installs into the headstock spin- dle with an MT#2 tapered fit.

To install the headstock spur center, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM POWER!

2.Move the tailstock and tool rest to a safe working distance from the headstock.

3.If the faceplate is installed, remove it (refer to Page 20 for instructions).

4.Make sure the mating surfaces of the spur center and spindle are free of debris and oily substances before inserting the center.

5.Insert the tapered end of the center into the spin- dle, and push it in with a quick, firm motion (see

Figure 18).

6.Make sure the spur center is securely installed by attempting to pull it out by hand—a properly installed center will not pull by hand.

To remove the headstock spur center, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM POWER!

2.Hold a clean rag under the spindle or wear a glove to catch the spur center when you remove it.

3.Insert the knockout tool through the outboard end of the spindle and firmly tap the center, catching it as it falls (see Figure 19).

Before beginning any turning opera- tion, make sure the headstock and tailstock centers are properly aligned. Refer to Aligning Headstock

&Tailstock Centers on Page 28 for instructions on this procedure. Failure to heed this warning could result in the spinning workpiece being thrown from the lathe resulting in death or serious personal injury.
