Part No. V01082
Lathe Models 200,240 and 300 are equipped with the same
headstock spindle, tailstock spindle, handwheels,
handbrake wheels and bearings. Therefore all adjustments
and assembly methods on the headstock and the tailstock
on those models are the same. The camlock assemblies are
of the same system but different sizes.
10.1
Spindle Pulley Speeds
It is important that the belt is
on the right pulley for the speed
required. Not doing so can cause
the motor to overheat. Below is
a representation of the headstock
pulleys and their equivalent ratio’s.

speed for the
two step pulley
10.2
Rotating The Index Head
Undo the headstock-locking lever.
Lift the headstock-locking pin.
Swivel the headstock to preferred angle in a clockwise
direction (indexed at 30 degree increments - 0°, 30°,
60° and 90°).
Re-insert the headstock locking pin.
Relock the headstock-locking lever after making the
adjustment.
Important:
Make sure the locking lever is in locked
position when lathe is in operation.
10.3
Changing the Belt Ratio
Depending on the size of the work piece to be turned (see
Turning Diameter and Turning Speeds Page 6) the belt
ratio may require changing for different speeds.
Before commencing any maintenance work with the
machine, make sure the mains switch is in the off
position.
Adjust the Headstock so that the spindle is parallel to
the lathe bed.
Unscrew the motor pulley cover and remove.
Loosen the locking handle and lift the motor to release
the belt tension.
Once loosened, seat the belt precisely on the correct
pulley ratio.
Re-tension the belt with a maximum deflection of
10-15mm (do not over tighten as it can cause motor
bearing problems) see page 17.
Re-tighten the locking handle.
Replace all covers before turning machine on.
