Tailstock
If the handle will not lock the tailstock, follow the
procedure bellow:
1.
Lower the handle to the unlocked position.
2.
Slide the tailstock to an area that allows access
to the underside of the tailstock.
3.
Tighten tailstock clamping bolt (underside of
tailstock) 1/4 turn. Test for proper locking. Repeat as
necessary.
Tailstock Off-Set
Follow the procedure below to off-set the tailstock to
cut shallow tapers:
1.
Lock tailstock in position by raising locking
handle (A, Fig.23).
2.
Alternately loosen and tighten two hex socket
cap screws (B, Fig.23).
Tailstock Gibs
Take up play in the tailstock by tightening two gib
screws (C, Fig.23) on either side of the tailstock base.
Note:
Do not over tighten. Excessive tightening will
lead to premature wear of the gibs and mating parts.
Headstock Alignment
The headstock has been aligned at the factory and
should not require adjustment. However, if
adjustment is deemed necessary, follow the procedure
below to align the headstock:
1.
Using a machinist’s precision level on the bad
ways, make sure the lathe is level side-to-side and
front to back. If the lathe is not level, correct to a level
condition before proceeding. Re-set alignment if any
leveling adjustments were made.
2.
From steel bar stock of approximately two
inches in diameter, cut a piece approximately eight
inches long.
3.
Place two inches of bar stock into chuck and
tighten chuck. Do not use the tailstock or center to
support the other end.
