Adjusting Headstock Position
Stand at the end of the lathe and lift the locking lever. To slide the
headstock towards the tailstock, push on the motor with one hand
and on the base of the headstock with the other. To slide it back,
pull on the motor with one hand and reach forward and grab the
front of the headstock near the base with the other.
The lever should go just past horizontal when locked, but not
touch the lathe bed.
Note
: It is easy to bump the spindle lock doing this. Make sure the
spindle lock is fully disengaged before starting the lathe.
Do not position the headstock all the way onto the Tilt Away. For best performance, the headstock should
be half on the lathe bed and half on the Tilt Away
HEADSTOCK ALIGMENT WITH TAILSTOCK
: For optimum alignment push both headstock and tailstock against
back way (directly away from you). If you are having problem with alignment, also look for accumulated debris
under the headstock and tailstock.
A bed stop is installed on the headstock end of the bed.
