Mounting Workpiece Between Centers

1.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

2.Center drill both ends of the workpiece.

3.Install the MT#3 dead center in the spindle with a lathe dog and faceplate, then install the MT#2 dead center in the tailstock.

4.Generously lubricate the workpiece center holes, then mount the workpiece on the centers and hold it in place with light pressure from the tailstock center.

5.Seat the center firmly into the quill by rotating the tailstock handwheel clockwise to apply pressure against the workpiece (see the example photo in Figure 38).

Note: Only apply enough pressure with the tailstock quill to securely mount the workpiece between centers. Avoid overtightening the center against the workpiece, or the center may become difficult to remove later, and the excess pressure will result in unnecessary friction and heat, which may damage the workpiece and center.

Carriage & Slide Locks

The carriage, cross slide, and compound rest can be locked into position to provide additional rigidity during operation, especially during heavy cuts.

To lock the carriage, use a 5mm hex wrench to tighten the carriage lock cap screw shown in Figure 39.

To lock the cross slide or compound rest, use an 8mm wrench to loosen the hex nuts and a 2.5mm hex wrench to fully tighten the two end gib adjustment set screws on both sides.

Note: When it is no longer necessary to lock these components, make sure to loosen/re-adjust the lock fasteners to allow the components to freely move (see Figures 39–40).
