CHUCk REMOVAL
After finishing and completing a polishing or grinding operation, you may wish to remove
the chuck accessory and change to another type of chuck or accessory. This is completed
as follow:
1. Turn the lathe off and allow the shaft to come to a complete stop.
2. Using the chuck remover located on the left or right side of the lathe, pull upward on
the remover’s handle. This will push the remover outward, and push the chuck from
the lathe shaft, (See Figure 1. Page 4).
A few chucks may require the chuck remover to be rotated 360 Degrees before the
chuck accessory is removed. Chucks fitted to polishing motors containing a 1/2”
shaft are removed by loosening the set screw which holds it in position.
3. To place another chuck onto the lathe shaft, follow the procedure listed on this page.

Your Red Wing polishing motor has been fitted with ball bearings. No further lubrication is
necessary during the life of your motor. Occasionally remove the motor’s cord set from its
