Overview
This section contains information on manual machine operations that are
specific to the Granite 1300 series machines. General machining practices can
be found in one of the many machining reference books that Smithy carries
such as the Home Machinist Handbook, item 10-005. Appendix A includes a
machining guide.
Instructions in this section apply to both lathe and mill operations.
Changing Between Lathe and Mill Operation
The lathe/mill clutch lever is located on the upper front surface of the lathe
pulley box. Turning the spindle slowly by hand will help align the drive gears
smoothly when engaging the lathe/mill clutch.
To change the position of the selector, pull the knob outward and move the
selector to the desired position. There are three positions for the selector.
• The center position is marked with an “O.” This is the neutral position
where neither the mill or lathe spindle are engaged.
