Tap screws are provided with your lathe to mount it directly to your work surface using the holes in the lathe bed as illustrated in Figure 3.

You may wish to mount your lathe using a "Through Mount." A through mount is accomplished by drilling holes all the way through the workbench; hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are then used to secure the lathe to the workbench, as shown in Figure 4. This is the strongest mount possible.

All operations of your hobby lathe require assembly of these basic components: lathe bed, headstock, toolrest, tailstock, and electric drill.

Improper assembly of the headstock and electric drill could result in serious personal injury to the operator or bystanders.

To assemble the basic components of the lathe:

1.Slide the headstock onto the lathe bed while making sure that the lock-down nut (T-Nut) moves smoothly in the lathe bed track.

Note: Moving the headstock and tailstock assemblies will be easier if the lock-down track is lightly lubricated with a product such as G96® Gun Treatment or SLIPIT®.

2. Position the headstock so that the rear is at least 3/4" from the end of the bed, then use the open end wrench to tighten the hex bolt as shown in Figure 5.
