Steady Rest
The steady rest on this lathe is used to support long, small diameter
stock that otherwise could not be turned. The steady rest can also
be used in place of the tailstock when access to the cutting tool is
required at the outboard end of the piece part. By loosening the nut
in the base, the steady rest can be re-positioned along the slide
rails.
Live Center
The live center is used when the chuck alone cannot support
longer length material. Stock that extends beyond the chuck
more than three times its diameter should be supported by the
live center. The barrel of the tailstock and the end of the live
center have a Morse #3 taper. Before inserting the live center,
wipe it clean and make sure the barrel entry is also clean.
Insert the end of the live center into the barrel until it seats. To
remove the live center, crank the barrel “OUT” until you see the
knockout tool insertion slot (fig. 8). Insert a knockout tool into
the slot and give it a sharp tap to push out the live center. You
can al
so insert the tool and crank the barrel “IN” which will
push out the live center. Be sure to keep the live center from
falling and becoming damaged.
