INSTALLING THE SPUR CENTER

1. Make sure the surfaces of both the spur center and the 

spindle are clean. If they are not, the center will not seat 

properly in the spindle.

2. Drive the spur center (Fig. 7 - 1) into the workpiece (Fig. 

7 - 2) using a rubber mallet or a piece of scrap wood.

3. Push the spur center into the spindle.

REMOVING THE SPUR CENTER

1. Hold spur center to prevent it from falling. Use a rag to 

protect your hand from the sharp edges.

2. Insert the knockout rod (Fig. 8 - 1) through the spindle 

hole to tap out the spur center (Fig. 8 - 2).

INSTALLING THE LIVE CENTER

1. Rotate the tailstock handwheel (Fig. 9 - 3) clockwise a 

few times to advance the quill (Fig. 9 - 2) forward.

2. Make sure the surfaces of both the spur center and the 

spindle are clean. If they are not, the center will not seat 

properly in the spindle.

3. Push the live center (Fig. 9 - 1) into the quill.

REMOVING THE LIVE CENTER

1. Hold the live center to prevent it from falling. Use a rag 

to protect your hand from the sharp edges.

2. Rotate the handwheel (Fig. 10 - 1) counterclockwise to 

retract the quill until the live center is released.

NOTE:

 It is not necessary to remove the face plate in 

order to install the spur center.

REMOVING THE FACE PLATE

1. Make sure the two set screws (Fig. 4 - 1 on p. 11) in the 

face plate (Fig. 4 - 2 on p. 11) have been backed out so they 

do not enter the central bore. Adjust them, if necessary, 

with the included hex wrench.

2. Engage the spindle lock (Fig. 5 on p. 11).

3. Use the provided wrench to unscrew the face plate (Fig.
