ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
14
TOOL REST ADJUSTMENTS
Users can adjust the height, position and angle of the tool rest
assembly. Loosen the locking lever (Fig. 14 - 1) on the tool rest
base to slide the base forward and back or to adjust the angle
of it. Tighten the locking lever firmly before operating the lathe.
Loosen the small locking handle (Fig. 14 - 2) to raise and lower
the tool rest or to adjust its angle. Tighten the handle before
operating the lathe.
TAIL STOCK ADJUSTMENTS
Loosen the tailstock locking lever (Fig. 15 - 3) and slide the tail-
stock into the desired position. Retighten the locking lever. The
quill locking handle (Fig. 15 - 2) locks and unlocks the quill. Use
the handwheel (Fig. 15 - 1) to advance and retract the quill.
INDEXING/SPINDLE LOCK (FIG. 16)
Indexing is used to create evenly spaced features in a workpiece
while keeping the lathe and spindle locked. For example, when
cutting flutes on a spindle blank with a handheld router, you may
want evenly spaced features and designs placed around the cir-
cumference of the workpiece. The 24 index positions are marked
around the spindle flange (every 15 degrees) to help rotate the
workpiece evenly for accurately spaced features.
Place the spindle lock in the locked position to help maintain
a certain index point. Make sure to disengage the spindle lock
before starting the lathe again.
BASE DIMENSIONS (FIG. 17)
Refer to the below chart for dimensions on the mounting holes
of your lathe’s base. For maximum accuracy, we advise mea-
suring in millimeters instead of inches. Threaded holes on the
lathe’s base are M8-1.25. Mounting hardware not included.

MOUNTING THE LATHE
TO A BENCHTOP
For effective and safe
operation, the lathe
should be mounted to a
bench table, removing
the feet and using the
four threaded holes in
its base to bolt it to the
surface. (Fig. 17)
