Aligning Centers
To ensure accurate and safe results, make sure
that the spindle and quill centers are aligned
before beginning operations.
To align the centers:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Remove the tool rest from the bed.
3. Install the centers, then slide the tailstock up
to the head so that the centers are facing
each other, as illustrated in
Figure 50.
4. Loosen the head lock lever, adjust the head
position so that center tips touch, then re-
tighten the lock lever to hold the head in
place.
Note: If the spur center is lower than the
live center, use shims under the head. If the
live center is lower, use shims under the
tailstock.
Replacing V-Belt
The pulley system that allows the Model G0462 to
operate at variable speeds also keeps the V-belt
properly tensioned. However, if the V-belt shows
signs of cracking, splitting, or any other damage,
we recommend you replace it to ensure optimum
power transmission.
To replace the V-belt:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Remove the V-belt safety cover from the
back of the lathe.
3. Pull the motor pulley plates apart so that
the V-belt slips down to the motor arbor, as
shown in
Figure 51. This will decrease the
V-belt tension.
4. While keeping the tension off the V-belt, roll it
off the spindle pulley and remove it.
5. Install the new V-belt by reversing Steps
3–4.
6. Re-install the V-belt safety cover before con-
necting the lathe to power.
