NOTE
: If a compound gear train is required, as shown in Fig. B, ensure the spacer, which is keyed to the
shaft carrying gear D, is located on the shaft BEFORE the gear, in order to align gear D with gear C.
37. Proceed to move the shaft carrying B and C and the adjuster 'A' so that all gears mesh correctly, then tighten
the adjuster securing nuts. This may take one or two attempts but make sure there is as little backlash as
possible without being overtight. (Turn the spindle by hand to test for backlash).
Replace the cover and secure with the two hex socket head bolts.
Maintenance
For maximum performance, it is essential that the lathe is properly maintained.
Before Use
•
Always inspect before use. Any damage should be repaired, and maladjustments rectified. Damage to
machined surfaces should be repaired with an oil stone. Test by hand to ensure smooth operation of all parts
before use.
•
Apply a few drops of oil to the oilways at both leadscrew bearings (each end bracket) and once or twice
during the day if used continuously. It will be necessary to remove the gear train cover in order to oil the left-
hand bearing.
•
Apply a few drops also to the compound slide oilway, located on the slides' top surface, between the two hex
socket head screws.
After Use
•
Remove all swarf from the machine and thoroughly clean all surfaces. If coolant has been used, ensure it
has completely drained from the tray.
•
Components should be dry, and all machined surfaces should be lightly oiled.
•
Always remove cutting tools, and store in a safe place.
Motor Brushes
The Motor brushes may be changed by unscrewing the caps, visible at the front and rear of the machine,
beneath the Headstock, as shown in Fig. 11.
