OPERATION
FIG. 17
HEADSTOCK SPUR CENTER
The Spur Center (Q) is used for turning between centers. It
fits into the spindle. Both spindle and the spur center have
matching MT-2 tapers. The spur center can be removed
from the spindle with the long Knockout Bar (K). Insert the
knockout bar through the opposite, outboard left end of the
spindle, and then hit the spur center’s back end to knock it
out of the spindle.
NOTE:
Be careful and hold the spur center during this
process so it does not fly out onto the floor. Figure 17.
HEADSTOCK FACEPLATE
Faceplates (S) are used for turning bowls and plates. There
are a number of screw holes on the plate for mounting the
workpiece for turning.
To INSTALL the faceplate,
thread the faceplate onto the
spindle in a clockwise direction, and tighten it in place with
the set screws that are located on the back hub of the
faceplate. NOTE: there may be more than one set of set
screws on the faceplate hub. Figure 18.
To REMOVE the faceplate
, first loosen the set screws.
The spindle and rear hub of the faceplate each have
flats that are for use with open end wrenches. FIG. 19.
Next, use the 2 extra large, double ended wrenches (N)
(38mm/46mm) for holding the spindle and also to hold the
back hub of the faceplate for removal of the faceplate. Or
use one wrench while pushing in the Spindle Lock Button.
Use the same process for removing a chuck.
