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.

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 a 11/16” wrench (B) Fig. 15 to slightly loosen or tighten the two nuts (C) Fig. 15 shown here on the tailstock. NOTE: Be certain that both nuts are tightened, or loosened, equally. NOTE: Clamp headstock and tailstock firmly while operating the lathe.

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 up clamp handle (C), move the tool rest base to the desired position and lock in place by pushing down on handle

(C). To adjust the tool rest (A) for the correct height, loosen locking lever (D), move tool rest (A) up or down and tighten locking lever (D). NOTE: Locking lever (D) Fig. 16 can be positioned on the left or right side of the tool rest base (B). To reposition the tool rest locking lever (D), unscrew 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 tool rest firmly while operating the lathe.
