Fitting the 4 Prong Drive Centre to the Headstock
When turning between centres, the 4 prong drive centre should be used in
conjunction with the revolving centre. For details on turning between centres,
please refer to the
Intended use of the Lathe and Basic Woodturning
Instructions
chapter of the manual.
Before fitting the drive centre, the faceplate must be removed from the lathe.
Using the 2 supplied wrenches, hold the spindle in place with the smaller
wrench using the flat areas of the spindle collar,
Fig 10.5
, and loosen the
faceplate using the larger wrench as shown in
Fig 10.6
by turning in an
anti-clockwise direction, placing the wrench on the flat areas of the faceplate
collar.
Insert the drive centre into the headstock spindle,
Fig 10.7
.
Removing the 4 Prong Drive Centre from the Headstock
The knockout bar is used to remove the drive centre from the headstock
spindle. The smaller drive centre knockout bar must also be used to prevent
the end of the drive centre from becoming damaged. The drive centre
knockout bar is placed inside the shaft of the drive centre as shown in
Fig
10.8
before inserting the knockout bar into the hole positioned centrally in
the hand wheel, at the opposite side of the headstock from the drive centre.
Using the knockout bar, give the drive centre a sharp knock to dislodge it,
Fig 10.8
.
The drive centre knockout bar must only be fitted inside the
shaft of the drive centre when removing it. Do not place it inside
the drive centre shaft during operation as it will rattle and may
work loose from the lathe.
