Live Center

Speed Selector

A #2 Morse taper live center is supplied with the lathe and is preinstalled from the factory. Figure

18.To remove it:

1.Turn the handwheel counter-clockwise until the tailstock barrel bottoms out in the tail- stock housing. This causes the center to be forced out of the barrel.

2.Reinstall by turning the handwheel clockwise until the tailstock barrel sticks out of the tail- stock housing about 1⁄2''. Insert the live cen- ter back into the tailstock barrel.

(1)The tailstock barrel lock handle must always be locked down while the lathe is in use. Figure 18. The workpiece can be thrown from the lathe if this step is not observed. (2) The tailstock barrel should not protrude from the tailstock housing more than 2''. Serious personal injury may occur.

The lathe must be running to change speeds. Before turning the lathe on, read Safety Rules and Test Run in the Operations Section, page 15 and 16.

The variable speed selector has six position set- tings. These settings provide speeds of 500, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 and 2700 RPM for varied appli- cations. To change speeds:

1.Turn the lathe on.

2.Pull the speed selector lever straight back away from the machine so the detent spring compresses. Figure 19.

3.Slowly shift the lever to the desired speed.

4.Make sure the lever is set in the detent for the desired speed. The lever should click into position.

Remember to choose the correct speed for your particular turning project. As a gener- al rule, the larger the workpiece diameter, the slower the speed. Always start on slow speed.
