Adjusting Headstock
The Model G0733 headstock 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 lathe
bed:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Loosen the headstock lock lever (see
Figure 17).
Figure 17. Headstock lock lever location.
3.
Slide the headstock to the desired location on
the bed, and use the headstock lock handle
to secure the headstock in position.
Note: The large clamping hex nut underneath
the headstock will require occasional adjust-
ing to ensure proper clamping pressure of
the headstock to the bed. Turn this hex nut
in small increments to fine tune the clamping
pressure as needed.
Always operate the lathe with the headstock
firmly locked to the bed. Otherwise, serious
personal injury may occur as the workpiece
or faceplate could shift during operation or
be ejected from the lathe.

sure as needed.

personal injury may occur by the tailstock
moving during operation and the workpiece
being ejected at high speed.
