Gap Removal
Your lathe has a gap section below the spindle
that can be removed for turning large diameter
parts. This gap was installed, then ground at the
factory during lathe assembly for precise fit and
alignment. Factors during the remaining assem-
bly apply additional forces to the gap; therefore,
replacing the gap to the original position will be
very difficult.
We don't recommend removing
the gap. Reinstallation to exact factory align-
ment is nearly impossible. The only option is
to then leave the gap out.
To remove the gap:
1.
Remove four cap screws from the bottom of
the gap and two from the ends of the ways
(see
Figure 24
).
2.
Remove the set screw plug, and assemble an
M6-1 x 30 cap screw, 6mm flat washer, and
the gap pin puller hub shown in
Figure 24
.
3.
Thread the cap screw into the threaded hole
and tighten until the pin is pulled free of the
gap and bed.
4.
Repeat on the remaining pin.
5.
Tap the outside of the gap with a dead blow
hammer to loosen, and remove the gap sec-
tion.
Tailstock
The tailstock (
Figure 25
) of the Model G0600
lathe can be used to support workpieces with
the use of a live or dead center. It can drill or
bore holes in the center of a part, using a drill bit
and chuck, or MT#5 tapered shank drill bit. The
tailstock can also be used for cutting shallow
tapers by using the offset adjustment.
To use the tailstock:
1.
Pull up on the lock handle.
2.
Slide the tailstock to the desired position.
3.
Push the tailstock lock handle to lock the
tailstock in place.
To use the tailstock quill:
1.
With the tailstock locked, pull up on the quill
lock lever to unlock.
2.
Turn the quill feed handle clockwise to feed/
move the quill towards the spindle, or turn
counterclockwise to move the quill away
from the spindle.
3.
Push the quill lock lever down to lock the quill
in place.
