Outboard Turning
(G0658 Only)
The Model G0658 is equipped with a detachable outboard turning attachment. This provides addi- tional clearance for a greater variety of turning tasks.
See Setup on Page 12 for instructions on install- ing the outboard turning attachment.
To mount a workpiece to the spindle handweel for outboard turning, see Faceplate Turning on Page 26. The method for attaching a workpiece to the spindle is the same for both turning methods.
To place the tool rest on the outboard turning attachment:
1.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2.Prepare the outboard turning attachment by thoroughly cleaning it to remove debris or buildup.
3.Release the tool rest base release lever so the tool rest moves freely, then position the tool rest so the entire base sits on the lathe bed. This will prevent the tool rest from falling when the lock nut is removed (Figure 31).
