Foot Brake

This lathe is equipped with a foot brake (Figure 45) to quickly stop the spindle. Pushing the foot brake while the spindle is ON cuts power to the motor and stops the spindle. Once stopped, the spindle lever MUST be returned to the neutral position before the spindle can be restarted.

Using the foot brake to stop the lathe reduces risk of an entanglement injury from allowing the lathe to coast to a stop. Use the foot brake to stop the lathe whenever possible.

Chuck & Faceplate Mounting

This lathe is shipped with the 3-jaw chuck installed. This is a scroll-type chuck, meaning that all three jaws move in unison when adjusted.

The included 4-jaw chuck features independent jaws, which are used for square or unevenly- shaped stock, and to mount work that needs to be adjusted to near "0" total indicated runout.

If neither chuck can hold your workpiece, the cast-iron faceplate has slots for T-bolts that hold standard or custom clamping hardware. With the correct clamping hardware, this faceplate will hold non-cylindrical parts.

The chucks and faceplate have a D1-8 camlock system. A chuck key is used to turn the locking cams to secure/release the chuck/faceplate.
