Tailstock
Large casting that mounts the tailstock barrel, it is moved on and
clamped to the lathe bed to allow the tailstock barrel to be moved to the
proximity of the work piece. It can be offset from the central axis of the
lathe to allow for taper turning between centers.
Lead screw /
Rack guard
A formed mental plate that covers and protects the leadscrew and the
rack.
Tool Post
A four sided tool post. Each tool position has 3 securing bolts to clamp
the tool in place. The tool post is located on a central pivot mounted on
the top of the compound slide. It has a four pos
ition ‘click’ locator, that
locates it to its major axis, but it can be held at any angle by the tool post
locking clamp.
Tool post cover
Fitted to compound slide it is there to provide protection from “flying
swarf” whilst turning between centers.
Motor
Single phase 230V 220V 50HZ 100V 60HZ 50Hz motor. 1H.P.
Tailstock barrel
lock
Small ‘swing’ lever that locks the barrel in place once it has been moved
into the required position.
Tailstock drive
handle
This engineer’s wheel and handle controls the movement of the tailstock
barrel, backwards and forward. It has a graduated ring (thimble)
mounted on the neck of the handle so that the amount of movement can
be monitored.
Tailstock barrel
Steel barrel bored with No.2 Morse taper to mount various tooling,
centers, drill chuck, reamers etc. the barrel has a travel of 50mm, this
travel allows the mounted tool or centre to be brought into controlled
contact with the work piece.
Mounting feet
Shaped in the casting of the lathe bed, the two feet have 14mm slots cut
into them to enable the fitting of two 12mm bolts to effect the rigid
fastening of lathe onto it’s stand? A work bench?
Lathe bed
V rail and flat rail bed, precision machined to provide an accurate
mounting for the headstock and a precision guide for the movement of
the saddle. It also mounts the tailstock in an accurate relationship to the
main axis of the lathe.
Saddle
Main casting that is precision machined to marry with the lathe bed. It
moves parallel to the mail axis. It mounts the traverse slide. It also
mounts its control handle and the auto feed or thread cutting engaging
lever.
Saddle control
This engineers wheel / control handle is mounted on a shaft that goes
through the apron of the saddle; there is a pinion mounted on the end of
shaft that is permanently engaged with the fixed rack on the lathe bed.
This enables the saddle to be moved back and forth along the lathe bed.
N.B. Remember this handle is PERMANENTLY engaged to the rack and
during thread cutting or auto feeding will turn with the movement of the
saddle.
Auto feed lever This lever engages the saddle to the leadscrew to enable the auto feed
or the thread cutting function of the lathe. Move the lever down to
engage the feed. As there is no synchronising dial indicator fitted for
