Using a spur center
Mount the spur center to the work
piece as shown and then insert the
spur center and work piece into the
headstock spindle.
!
Warning!
Do not pound work piece into
headstock drive center when
turning between centers or you
may damage the headstock.
To remove the center, insert a 10 mm
(3/8-inch) diameter wooden dowel or
steel rod through the headstock
spindle hole. While holding the center
so it doesn't fall, tap it out.

Toolrest

To move the toolslide along the bed,
loosen the Toolslide Clamp Handle,
move the slide to the desired position,
and tighten the clamp handle.
To adjust the toolrest, loosen the
Toolrest Clamp Handle, position the
toolrest, and tighten the clamp handle.
Adjust the toolrest close to the work
piece. Exact positioning may be varied
to suit the turner. Before turning,
revolve the stock by hand to make sure
it clears the rest. At intervals, stop the
lathe and readjust the toolrest.
!
Warning!
Lathe tools and chisels should
remain on the toolrest
whenever the tool is in contact
with the work piece.
Remove the toolrest when
sanding or polishing so fingers
do not get pinched.
