The Live Center
1.The Live Center supports stock that is too long to be supported by the chuck alone. Stock protruding more than three times its diameter should also be supported by the live center. When using a Live Center, the tail- stock barrel should protrude about 1/2’’ and not more than 3’’.
2.To remove the Live Center, back the tailstock barrel all the way into the casting. The Live Center will pop out; catch it when it comes out to avoid damaging it.
Steady Rest
1.The steady rest supports long, small diameter stock that otherwise could not be turned. The steady rest can also replace the tailstock to allow for cutting tool access at the outboard end of the workpiece.
2.To mount the Steady Rest, secure the bedway from below with the locking plate, and use setscrews to secure it in place.
Follow Rest
1.The follow rest is used with small diameter stock to prevent the work- piece from ‘’springing’’ under pres- sure from the turning tool.
2.The follow rest is secured to the saddle with two cap screws.
Spindle Speeds
1.The rotation speed of the headstock is controlled by the position of the belts on the pulleys. The cover on the end of the headstock must be removed to access them. Refer to the
following chart (or the plate on the headstock) to determine which belt combinations produce what speeds. The speed settings on this machine are 120, 320, 420, 620, 1130 and 2200 RPM. See photograph, chart and diagram below.
