Operation
Tailstock Handwheel
(A, Figure 2) - Turn clockwise to move tailstock spindle forward. Turn counter-
clockwise to retract tailstock spindle.
Tailstock Spindle Lock
(B, Figure 2) - Locks tailstock spindle. Release to adjust with handwheel.
Tailstock Lock
(C, Figure 2) - Locks tailstock in position on the bed. Release to move tailstock assembly
closer to or farther from the headstock.
The tailstock spindle is hollow. This can be useful for inserting a long bit to drill a hole in the center of a
workpiece on the faceplate.
The clamping device on the tailstock has been factory adjusted; however if further adjustment should be
needed, slide the tailstock off the end of the bed, and tighten or loosen the nut (D, Figure 3) beneath the
tailstock.
Work Lamp (JWL-1220 only)
The 20” lathe is provided with a flexible work lamp which uses a 40-watt bulb (not provided).
Position the
work lamp so that wood chips do not accumulate inside the lamp shade and pose a fire hazard.
Use only a 40-watt or smaller bulb in the work lamp.
