Setting Spindle; Rpm - Grizzly G0602 Owner's Manual

Setting Spindle

RPM

This lathe has six possible spindle speeds. Shown
in Figure 22 is an example of how you would use
the chart to get a spindle RPM of 150.
To set the spindle RPM:
1. DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM
POWER!
2. Refer to the RPM chart in Figure 22 and
determine which pulley combination you will
need to get a particular spindle RPM.
3. Open the side cover and install the low range
belt between pulleys B and C and in sheave
1 as shown in Figure 22.
Note: The Low range belt is always used on
pulleys B and C with the tensioner. This belt
is 27.5" long. The high range belt is always
used on pulleys A and C without using the
tensioner. This belt is 33" long.

4. Close the side cover and secure it shut with
the cap screw. The lathe is now ready to use
at your chosen RPM.
Use a lower RPM when machin-
ing heavy eccentric workpieces;
securely clamp your workpiece
and remove the chuck key!
Objects thrown from a lathe can
cause serious injury or death to
the operator or bystanders.
Use a minimum of three independent clamping
devices when turning eccentric workpieces
on the faceplate. Failure to provide adequate
clamping will cause workpiece to eject.
