Adjusting.Headstock
The headstock on this lathe is equipped with a cam-action
clamping system to secure it to the lathe bed. When the
lever is tightened, a locking plate lifts up underneath the
bed and secures the tailstock in place. The headstock can
be positioned anywhere along the lathe bed.
To position headstock along length of bed, do these
steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Loosen headstock lock lever (see Figure 23).
3. Slide headstock to desired location on bed, and use
headstock lock lever to secure headstock in position.
Note: The large clamping lock nut underneath
the headstock will require occasional adjusting to
ensure proper clamping pressure of the headstock
to the bed. Turn this lock nut in small increments to
fine tune the clamping pressure as needed.
Adjusting.Tailstock
The tailstock adjusts in the same manner as the
headstock.
To position tailstock along length of bed, do these
steps:
1. Loosen tailstock lock lever and move tailstock to
desired position along bed, as shown in Figure 24.
2. Retighten tailstock lock lever to secure tailstock to
bed.
Note: The large clamping lock nut underneath the
tailstock will require occasional adjusting to ensure
proper clamping pressure of the tailstock to the
bed. Turn this lock nut in small increments to fine
tune the clamping pressure as needed.
