Grizzly G0462 Adjusting Tool Rest, Installing/Removing Spur Center, To install the spur center

Adjusting Tool Rest

The tool rest is equipped with a cam-action clamp- ing system to secure it. When the base lock lever is tightened, a clamping plate lifts up and secures the tool rest to the bed.

If the tool rest unexpectedly moves during operation, the tool and your hand could be drawn into the spinning workpiece resulting in personal injury. ALWAYS make sure all of the tool rest locks are tight before beginning operation.

The Model G0462 comes with a three-way adjust- able tool rest (see Figure 21).

•Use the base lock lever to secure the tool rest along the length of the bed.

•Use the pivot arm lock lever to secure the tool rest at a working distance from the workpiece.

•Use the tool rest lock lever to adjust the height and angle of the tool rest relative to the workpiece.

For safe and good turning results, we recommend positioning the tool rest approximately 1⁄4" away from the workpiece, and approximately 1⁄8" above the workpiece center line (see Figure 22).

Spur Center

The included MT#2 spur center installs in the spindle and forces the workpiece to spin with the spindle.

Typically, the spur center is driven into the workpiece (see Spindle Turning on Page 24 for detailed instructions), then the center is inserted with the workpiece into the spindle.

To install the spur center:

1.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

2.Move the tailstock and tool rest a safe work- ing distance from the headstock.

3.If the faceplate is installed, remove it (refer to Page 22 for detailed instructions).

4.Make sure the spur center and the inside of the spindle are free of debris and oily sub- stances that could interfere with proper mat- ing of the parts.
