Headstock 

The headstock is located on the operator's left end of the lathe 
bed. It contains the main spindle, the part of the lathe that 
rotates, an oil reservoir and the mechanism for obtaining various 
spindle speeds and for transmitting power to the feeding and 
threading mechanism.  

The headstock mechanism is driven by an electric motor 
connected to a belt pulley and gear system.  

The main spindle is mounted on bearings in the headstock and is 
hardened and specially ground to fit different lathe holding 
devices. The spindle has a hole through its entire length to 
accommodate long workpieces. The hole in the nose of the 
spindle has a standard #5 Morse taper (MT5).  

Centers, collets, drill chucks, tapered shank drills and reamers 
may be inserted into the spindle. Chucks, drive plates, and 
faceplates may be mounted onto the spindle nose. 

Spindle speed is controlled by the variable speed switch and 
Hi/Low belt position.
