Mini Metal Lathe 7 x 12

OWNER’S MANUAL

THE HEADSTOCK

The motor provides a direct drive to the spindle via an internal tooth type belt. Spindle speed is 

variable, and is regulated by the Speed Control Knob (23)on the main control panel.

The spindle is provided with an internal No.3 Morse taper to accommodate a center for use with 

a face plate or turning clamp.

The 3-jaw self-centering chuck(4) is mounted on the spindle flange. To remove the chuck, 

simply remove the three securing nuts on the rear of the flange then pull it out together with the 

three mounting studs.

Note: 

The chuck has a protection cover. Opening the cover turns off the main power of the 

lathe, so keep the cover closed during operation.

THE RUNNING GEAR

The Running Gear is protected by a cover (22).  Open the cover of the gear box on the left side 

of the machine, and select the gear of the correct size according to the desired feeding rate or 

pitch size (refer to ‘The Gear Box’ in the Operating Instruction/Settings and Adjustments 

section). Install the appropriate gear into the gearbox and connect it to the leadscrew. (Refer to 

the “changing gear label “on the machine.)

Automatic feeding (forward or reverse) is enabled or disabled by the control clutch toggle 

switch (24) on the main panel. Turn the switch to the center position for manual feeding or to 

the forward or reverse position for automatic feeding.

THE TAILSTOCK

The Tailstock Casting (9) may be moved along the bed to any desired position and secured in 

position by two screws on the front of the tailstock to lock the tailstock wedge. The tailstock 

spindle includes an internal No. 2Morse taper for use with the Center provided.

THE SADDLE AND THE CROSS-SLIDE

The saddle carries the Compound Slide (7), on which is mounted the Tool Post (5) allowing 

intricate and delicate operations to be performed. It is driven by a leadscrew via a Drive Nut, to 

provide automatic feed when the Clutch (24) is positioned for forward or reverse feeding.
