User's manual
Install a washer (6) and nut (7) onto each bolt
and tighten securely with a wrench and the
supplied Allen keys. Verify that all nuts and
bolts are securely fastened. Install extension
bed (1) to headstock (2) with two bolts and
washers.
HEADLOCK HANDLE
Locate and assemble
the head locking
handle (1), spring (2)
and Allen bolt (3) as
shown.
Thread the head lock
assembly into the
head locking clamp
and tighten.
NOTE: Spring loaded handles
The spring-loaded handles on the lathe are
designed to minimize interference with other
lathe parts or the workpiece. To operate these
handles, push the handle in and rotate clock-
wise to tighten. Releasing the handle will dis-
engage the threaded shaft allowing you to re-
position the handle so that it is out of the way.
SPURS
Remove the faceplate (if factory installed) (1)
from the headstock using the wrench and
push rod(2) provided and set aside. Insert the
headstock spur (3) into the spindle hole. Install
the tail stock live center into the tail stock hole.
REMOVAL OF SPURS
To remove either the headstock spur or the
tail stock live center insert the push rod (5)
through the back access holes of the headstock
and tail stock. Remove the rod and store it for
future use.
FACEPLATE INSTALLATION
Remove the headstock spur from the spindle
by using the push-out rod.
Thread the 6” diameter faceplate onto the
spindle and tighten with the supplied wrench-
es. Mount your workpiece to the faceplate us-
ing flat head brass screws. Be certain that the
ends of the screws will not interfere with your
planned turning.
EXTENSION BED
The extension bed is attached to the left of
the headstock for outboard faceplate turning
when the use of the articulated tool rest is re-
quired.
If outboard faceplate turning does not require
the use of the tool rest, do not attach the ex-
tension bed until required.
To attach the extension bed (1) to the lathe
bed, align the bolt holes (2) with the threaded
bed holes (3).
