Outboard Tool Rest

 

Accessory Removal

 

 

 

 

 

 

The outboard side of the headstock can be used for faceplate turning when the diameter of the stock exceeds what can be handled on the inboard side. The range of diameters suitable for outboard turning is from 14'' to a maximum of 19''. Outboard turning will require an accessory faceplate which is available from Grizzly. Outboard turning should always be done with the tool rest installed:

1.Fasten the L-shaped bracket to the cabinet stand with the two (2) 516'' - 18 x 1'' bolts provided and tighten with a 12mm wrench.

2.Attach the tool rest support to the bracket with the 34'' - 10 x 212'' bolt and nut as shown in Figure 21 This is hand-tightened only to allow movement.

3.Insert the threaded end of the tool rest post into the cast boss and secure with the 34'' hex nut. This also is only hand-tightened.

4.The tool rest can now be placed into the end of the support post and secured with the setscrew.

To remove accessories such as faceplates, sanding discs or the drum/flap sander from the headstock spindle, insert the knockout bar into the hole in the headstock near the inboard spindle. Turn the spindle by hand until the bar engages one of the indexing holes, which will lock the spindle in position. While holding the knockout bar, rotate the accessory counterclockwise if mounted inboard, or counterclockwise if mounted on the outboard side. See Figure 22.
