Set the height to approximately 3mm above centre. Tighten
indexable knob (B).
7.4 Adjusting tailstock
Turn the hand wheel (E, Fig 29) clockwise to move tailstock
quill
forward. Lock quill with the indexable knob (D).
Fig 29
The handle (C) locks the tailstock in position on the bed.
The live centre can be ejected by turning the hand wheel
counter-clockwise.
The live centre pin can be removed to allow deep hole drilling
operations.
Caution:
Do not position tailstock over the edge of bed. This
will result in less clamping surface and increase risk of injury.
7.5 Spindle index
The index feature allows you to cut evenly spaced features in
a workpiece while keeping the Lathe spindle locked.
The lathe provides 24 index positions.
These are identified by numbers on the spindle pulley (H, Fig
30).
Thread index pin (J) into the headstock. Make sure that it
locates in one of the pulley holes.
Note: A 3mm hex key (K) can be used to help tighten/loosen
the index pin.
Fig 30
Caution:
Release index pin before turning on the lathe.
Never press the index pin while the spindle is turning.
