operations.
Figure 8
Adjusting the Tool Rest
Position the tool rest as close to the work piece as possible. It should be 1/8" above the centerline of the
work piece.
Position the tool rest base on the bed by releasing the lock handle (A, Figure 8) and sliding onto the
desired position. Tighten handle (A, Figure 8) to lock. Adjust the height of the tool rest by loosening
handle (B, Figure 8) and raising or lowering tool rest (Figure 8).
Should adjustment of the tool rest clamping device become necessary, turn off the machine, reach under
the bed, and adjust the clamping nut (Figure 3).
NOTE: The lock levers (B, Figure 8) are spring loaded. Simply pull up on the lever, rotate it on the pin,
then release.
