Tool holder

Clamp the lathe tool into the tool holder.
The lathe tool needs to be clamped as short and tight as possible when turning in order to be
able to absorb the cutting force well and reliably during the chip formation.
Adjust the height of the tool. Use the tailstock with the center point in order to determine the re-
quired height. If necessary, put the steel washers beneath the tool to achieve the required
height.
3.12

Lathe chuck

The workpieces must be clamped firmly and securely onto the lathe before they are machined.
The clamping force should be tight enough to ensure that the workpiece is moved correctly, but
not sotight that it is damaged or deformed.
WARNING!
Do not clamp any workpieces that exceed the permitted chucking capacity of the lathe
chuck. The clamping force of the chuck is too low if the clamping range is being
exceeded. The clamping jaws might be getting loose.
