Step 5

Important Note

Step 6

Remove the Tailstock 

(see diagram below)

Loosen the locking handle and slide the tailstock off the end of the bed.

Hold the tailstock gib in place so it does not fall out. There is a locking pin

behind the lock handle that can also fall out. Watch carefully as you remove

the tailstock.

The gib for the 1200 series is on the operator’s side of the machine.

Remove the Lathe Chuck

(see diagram below)

Removal of the lathe chuck depends on which Smithy machine you have.

GN-1300 Series

Using the chuck key supplied with the

machine, turn the square sockets in the

spindle flange counterclockwise until the

hashmarks are aligned. Remove the chuck

without letting it fall onto the machined

ways.

All Other Machines

Using a wrench, loosen the bolts on the

back side of the lathe spindle flange.

After all the bolts have been removed,

use a rubber mallet or the palm of your

hand to loosen the chuck from the spin-

dle flange.
