The tailstock spindle is hollow. This can be useful
for inserting a long bit to drill a hole in the center of
a workpiece on the faceplate.
The clamping device on the tailstock has been
factory adjusted; however if further adjustment
should be needed, slide the tailstock off the end of
the bed, and tighten or loosen the nut (D, Fig. 3)
beneath the tailstock.
Spur Center (A, Fig. 4) - locks into headstock and
holds the workpiece during spindle turning.
WARNING
Thoroughly clean the taper on the spur
center and the inside of the headstock
spindle before mounting the spur center.
Failure to do so may result in separation of
the two and possible injury or tool damage.
Face Plate (A, Fig. 5) – screws on to the headstock
and is used in face plate turning operations. Mount
your workpiece onto the faceplate with brass wood
screws (not provided). Make sure the screws are not
so long that they will enter the area of the workpiece
where the material is to be removed.
To remove the faceplate from the spindle, place
knock-out rod into hole (Fig. 6) and let it contact the
bed of the lathe for leverage. Then unscrew the
faceplate.
