Headstock Center

Make sure the headstock and tailstock cen- ters are properly aligned before beginning any turning operation. See Aligning Centers on Page 38 for additional instructions on this procedure. Failure to observe this warn- ing could result in the workpiece being thrown from the lathe resulting in serious personal injury.

The included spur center installs into the head- stock spindle with an MT#2 tapered fit.

To install the headstock center:

1.DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM THE POWER SOURCE!

2.If the faceplate is installed on the spindle, remove it (see Page 23 for detailed instruc- tions).

3.Make sure the mating surfaces of the center and spindle are free of debris and oily sub- stances before inserting the center.

4.Insert the tapered end of the center into the spindle, and push it in with a quick, firm motion (see Figure 22).

5.Make sure the center is securely installed by attempting to pull it out by hand—a properly installed center will not pull easily.

To remove the headstock center with the knockout tool:

1.DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM THE POWER SOURCE!

2.Hold a clean rag under the spindle or wear a glove to catch the center when you remove it.

3.Insert the knockout tool through the outbound end of the spindle and firmly tap the center, catching it as it falls (see Figure 23).
