Face Plate (Figure 6) – Screws on to the headstock and is used in face plate turning operations. Mount your workpiece onto the faceplate with brass screws (not provided). Make sure the screws are not so long that they will enter the area of the workpiece where the material is to be removed.
To remove the face plate from the spindle, place the drift rod into hole (A, Figure 6) and let the drift rod contact the bed of the lathe for leverage. Then unscrew the face plate.
Drift Rod (Figure 7) – Slides into the headstock to tap the spur center free. Stored in the hole in the base below the headstock (JML- 1014I) or in the tool caddy
NOTE: Always hold on to the spur center while tapping it free, to prevent it from falling.
Tool Rest (Figure 8) – Attaches to the bed. Used to steady the cutting tool during spindle turning or face plate operations.
Adjusting the Tool Rest
Position the tool rest (Figure 8) as close to the workpiece as possible. It should be 1/8” above the centerline of the workpiece.
Position the tool rest base on the bed by releasing the locking rod (A, Figure 8) and sliding base to the desired position. Tighten locking rod to fix the position of the tool rest base.
Adjust the height of the tool rest by loosening the handle (B, Figure 8) and raising or lowering tool rest.
Should adjustment of the tool rest clamping device become necessary, turn off the machine, reach under the bed, and adjust the clamping nut.
NOTE: The lock handles (B, Figure 2 and B, Figure 8 for example) are adjustable. Simply pull up on the handle, rotate it on the pin, and then release. Make sure the handle seats itself properly upon the pin.
Changing Spindle Speeds
1.Disconnect the machine from the power source (unplug).
2.Open the access doors at the left side of the base (A, Figure 9) and at the back side of the headstock (B, Figure 10).
3.Loosen the motor plate lock handle (C, Figure 11). Lift up the motor plate handle (D, Figure 11) to take tension off the belt.
