Joining Drill Chuck & Arbor - Grizzly G4003G Owner's Manual

Mounting Workpiece Between
Centers
1.
DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2.
Drill center holes in both ends of the workpiece.
3.
Install dead center in spindle with a lathe
dog and a chuck or faceplate, then install a
live center or carbide-tipped dead center in
tailstock.
4.
Lubricate workpiece center holes, then mount
it between centers and hold it in place with
light pressure from tailstock center.
5.
Seat center firmly into quill by rotating
quill handwheel clockwise to apply pres-
sure against workpiece (see the example in
Figure 47).
Figure 47. Example photo of a workpiece
mounted between the centers.
Only apply enough pressure to securely mount
the workpiece between centers. Avoid over-tight-
ening the center against the workpiece, or it
may become difficult to remove later. Also, over-
tightening will result in excessive friction and heat,
which may damage the workpiece or center.

Joining Drill Chuck
& Arbor
The drill chuck attaches to the tailstock quill with
the included B16 to MT#3 arbor.
Matched tapers on the arbor and the inside of the
chuck create a semi-permanent assembly when
properly joined. The drill chuck can accept tooling
from ⁄ "– ⁄ ". If you would like to use a different

chuck in the future, we recommend obtaining a
new arbor.
The procedure for mounting and removing the
chuck and arbor from the tailstock quill is the
same as for a center.
To join drill chuck and arbor:
1.
Use acetone or lacquer thinner to clean drill
chuck and arbor mating surfaces, especially
the bore.
2.
Retract chuck jaws completely into chuck.
3.
Insert small end of arbor into chuck.
4.
Hold assembly by the arbor and tap chuck
onto a block of wood with medium force, as
illustrated in Figure 48.
