ASSEMBLY
TAILSTOCK STORAGE
For additional storage of spur and live centers, the tailstock
features a small tool holder behind the front hinged door.
It will also hold the short knockout bar used to remove the
spur center’s removable point. Figure 9.
On the back side of the tailstock, a post is provided to
store the 3-3/8” faceplate when not in use. Figure 10.
NOTE:
The Faceplate (S) may be shipped pre-installed
on the headstock spindle. If plate or bowl turning is to be
done, then the use of the faceplate is needed. To remove
the faceplate, loosen the two set screws in the rear hub of
the faceplate with the 3mm hex wrench. Then unscrew it
from the spindle (counter-clockwise rotation) using the two
large 38/46mm wrenches (N) or one wrench while pushing
in the Spindle Lock Button (see page 13, Fig. 13,A).
INSTALL THE TAILSTOCK HAND WHEEL
If not pre-assembled for shipping, install the Tailstock Hand Wheel
(#10D) onto the rear spindle of the Shaft Assembly (Quill)
(#3A). Secure with the 2 set screws onto the 2 flat spindle
areas with the 3mm Hex Wrench provided. Figure 9, A.

INSTALL STORAGE SHELVES
(OPTIONAL)
One or two shelves can be added between the legs for
storage of tools, turning supplies or to add extra lathe hold-
down weight with sand bags or cement blocks. Each leg
has 2 sets of brackets, one low and one high, to mount and
secure your self-made shelves onto. Use 2x4s and thick
plywood to construct these shelves to your specific design
or storage needs. (Plans are not provided).
NOTE:
Installing a full size shelf between the assembled
legs is not possible. So, construct your shelves in pieces
that can be secured together in place on the brackets. Fig. 12.

INSTALL THE TOOL REST
Install the 12” long PRO Tool Rest (T) into the Tool Rest Base (also
called a Banjo) (D). Secure the tool rest’s 1” diameter post in the base
with the Adjustable Locking Handle (#2A). Figure 8, A.
NOTE:
The handle can be adjusted to any position for best opera-
tion, loosening or tightening, or to set it at a spot that will not interfere
with you while working. Simple pull out the spring load handle, rotate
it to your desired spot on its locking shaft, and then release it back
onto its new position.
INSTALL THE TOOL HOLDER
Install the Tool Holder (U) onto the outside of the right leg
with the two hex head screws and washers provided. Use
the 5mm hex wrench provided. FIG. 11.
The Tool Holder has holes and slots for storing the wrench-
es, MT2-MT2 Gauge, Long Knockout Bar and any other
optional tool rests or centers obtained.
