Adjusting Tool Rest - Grizzly T25920 Owner's Manual

clamping system to secure it to the lathe bed.
When the lever is engaged, a locking plate lifts up
and secures the tool rest base to the bed.
Positioning Along Bed

Turn this hex nut in small increments to fine
tune the clamping pressure as needed.
