Adjusting Tool Rest

The tool rest base is equipped with a cam-action clamping system to secure it to the lathe bed. When the tool rest base lock handle is tightened, a locking plate lifts up and secures the tool rest assembly to the bed. The tool rest can also be positioned and locked at a specific angle or height.

To position the tool rest assembly along the length of the lathe bed:

1.Loosen the tool rest base lock handle and move the tool rest assembly to the desired position on the lathe bed (see Figure 20).

2.Re-engage the tool rest base lock handle to secure the tool rest assembly in position.

Note: The large clamping hex nut underneath the tool rest base will require occasional adjusting to ensure proper clamping pressure of the tool rest assembly to the bed. Turn this hex nut in small increments to fine tune the clamping pressure as needed.

Always operate the lathe with the tool rest assembly firmly locked in position. Otherwise, serious personal injury may occur.

To adjust the angle or height of the tool rest:

1.Loosen the tool rest lock handle and adjust the angle or height of the tool rest.

2.Position the tool rest approximately 1⁄4" away from the workpiece and approximately 1⁄8" above the workpiece center line (see Figure 21).
