Operation
When the deadman clamp cap screws are loose, the deadman clamp slides along the lathe way, and the taper attachment is disengaged. Normal lathe turning operations can be conducted.
When the deadman clamp cap screws are tightened, the deadman clamp is locked to the lathe way, and the taper attachment is engaged. At this point tapered turning operations can be made.
To use the taper attachment:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Move the carriage, cross slide, and compound rest so your turning bit is at your needed location to begin the tapered cut.
3. Using an 8mm hex wrench, tighten both deadman cap screws so the deadman clamps against the lathe bedway, as shown in Figure 23.
