Installing/Removing
Spur Center
The spur center installs in the headstock spindle with a taper fit.
To prevent rusting, we recommend removing cen- ters when not in use and coating the tapers with a light layer of lubricant or metal protectant.
To install the centers:
1.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2.Make sure the tapers are clean and free of any dust or debris.
3.Insert the tapered end of the center into the spindle (see Figure 14), and push it in quickly and firmly.

To remove the spur center:
1.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2.Insert the lock pin through the backing plate and into the casting.
3.Use the provided wrench to back off the nut, as shown Figure 15, to force the spur center out of the spindle.
4.Remove the lock pin.
NOTICE
Leaving the lock pin installed when the lathe is switched ON may damage your motor or electrical components.
