To change the angle of the compound rest:
1. Using the compound rest feed handle, retract the compound rest until the
locking socket head cap screws are exposed.
2. Loosen the two socket head cap screws.
3. Turn the compound rest to the desired angle.
4. Tighten the two socket head cap screws.
Chris’ Tip : Use a protractor between the compound rest and the cross slide.
Don’t depend on the die cast or plastic markings on the side of the compound
rest.
Tailstock Locking Lever
The tailstock is locked into position on the ways by the tailstock locking lever
on the back of the tailstock. Raise the lever towards the vertical to tighten the
tailstock lock.
Tailstock Quill Hand Wheel
The tailstock quill hand wheel moves the tailstock quill in and out. Graduations
on the top of the quill show how far it is extended.
Retract the tailstock quill all the way to remove tools from the taper in the
tailstock quill.
Tailstock Quill Digital Position Readout (Model 7350 only)
The HiTorque 7×16 Deluxe Mini Lathe has a digital readout on the tailstock that
displays the quill position more precisely than the graduated markings on the
standard model. Operation of the tailstock readout is the same as those for the
compound rest and cross slide. See “ Digital Position Readout (Model 7350
only) ” on page 13.
Tailstock Quill Locking Lever
The tailstock quill locking lever keeps the tailstock quill from moving. Use the
tailstock quill locking lever to lock the tailstock quill in position when you are
turning between centers. Turn the lever clockwise to lock the tailstock quill,
and counterclockwise to unlock the tailstock quill.
Adjustments
Keeping your lathe in adjustment is an ongoing process. You should check all
the following adjustments when you set up your lathe and then periodically as
you use your lathe. Looseness in the carriage retaining plates or the gibs can
cause chatter when you are using the lathe. If you experience chatter, check
all these adjustments.
