4. Proceed to move the shaft carrying B and C and the adjuster ‘A’ so that all
gears mesh correctly, then tighten the adjuster securing nuts. This may take
one or two attempts but make sure there is as little backlash as possible
without being overtight. (Turn the spindle by hand to test for backlash).
5. Replace the cover and secure with the two hex socket head bolts.
MAINTENANCE
For maximum performance it is essential that the lathe is properly maintained.
BEFORE USE
Always inspect before use. Any damage should be repaired and
maladjustments rectified. Damage to machined surfaces should be repaired
with an oil stone. Test by hand to ensure smooth operation of all parts before
use.
Inject a few drops of oil to the oilways at both leadscrew bearings (each end
bracket) and once or twice during the day if used continuously. It will be
necessary to remove the gear train cover in order to oil the left hand bearing.
Inject a few drops also to the compound slide oilway, located on the slides’
top surface, between the two hex socket head screws.
AFTER USE
Remove all swarf from the machine and thoroughly clean all surfaces. If
coolant has been used, ensure it has completely drained from the tray.
Components should be dry, and all machined surfaces should be lightly oiled.
Always remove cutting tools and store in a safe place.
MOTOR BRUSHES
The motor brushes may be changed
by unscrewing the caps visible at the
front and rear of the machine
beneath the headstock as shown in
Fig 12.
