Provide sufficient space for assembly and operating staff as well as for material transport. Also allow for accessibility for setting and maintenance works. Make sure that the main power supply for the machine is freely accessible. Provide for sufficient illumination (minimum value: 300 lux, measured at the turning tool tip).
3.5.1 Cleaning and greasing Remove the anticorrosive agent applied to the machine for transport and storage pur- poses. We recommend the use of WD-40 oil. Do not use any solvents, thinners or other cleaning agents which could corrode the varnish on the machine.
Optional machine accessories WARNING! Risk by using improper workpiece clamping fixtures or by operating the machine with inadmissible speed. Only use the clamping fixtures (e.g. lathe chuck) which had been delivered together with the machine or as optional equipment offered by company. Use the working clamping fixtures only in the provided admissible speed range.
3.7.3 Mounting instruction of collet chuck holder Mounting of collet chuck holder 344 1305 on your lathe TU2506 and TU2807V. Proceed as follows. Mark out the position of the lathe chuck at the spindle flange before dis- mantling with an e.g. felt-tipped pen. Spindle flange (short-taper seat) ...
Operation Safety Use the lathe only under the following conditions: The lathe is in proper working order. The lathe is used as prescribed. The operating manual is followed. All safety devices are installed and activated. All Troubleshooting should be eliminated immediately. Stop the machine immediately in the event of any abnormality in operation and make sure it cannot be started up accidentally or without authorisation.

INFORMATION The assembly of the change wheels may be performed in the sequence that the standard gear (1st drive unit) first cams into gear B, then gear B to gear D and gear C to gear E. General According to DIN 868, the gear transmission ratio is the ratio of the driving gears to the driven gears.
4.10.1 Gear threading tables INFORMATION The leads of thread, and/or longitudinal feeds represented in the following tables are possible with the gear wheels in the scope of supply. The tables are built up in a way that you may assemble the required combination of the gears to cut a thread without having to look up the details.
4.10.2 Example - assembly of gear wheels for thread 14 TPI, 28 TPI and 56 TPI on TU2506 Ligatures from one figure to the following one represent the cam- ing of one gear to the following one. The identifier "H" stands for bushing or a small gear as an auxiliary distance, see position 523 of spare parts drawing.
4.12 Immobilising the lathe saddle The cutting force produced dur- ing facing, recessing or slicing process may displace the lathe saddle. Secure the lathe saddle using the tightening screw. tightening screw Fig.4-15: Lathe saddle TU2506 tightening screw Fig.4-16: Lathe saddle TU2807V 4.12.1 Turning tapers with the top slide ...
4.13 Tailstock sleeve The tailstock quill is used to hold the tools (bits, lathe centres, etc.) Install the required tool in the tailstock quill. Use the scale on the quill to re-adjust and / or adjust the tool. ...
4.15 Replacing the clamping jaws on the lathe chuck The clamping jaws and the three-jaw chuck are provided with numbers. Check before the change, if the numbers are readable and, if necessary, mark the jaws and their primary position. Insert the clamping jaws at the correct position and in the right order into the three-jaw chuck.
4.16 Turning Speeds & Feeds There are rules and principles of cutting speeds and RPM (revolutions per minute) calculations that apply to all metal cutting operations. The operating speed for all metal cutting operations is based on the cutting tool material and the hardness of the material to be cut. The hardness of the work material has a great deal to do with the recommended cutting speed.

4.18 Calculating RPM The RPM setting depends on the cutting speed and the diameter of the part. The RPM setting will change with the diameter of the part. As the diameter of the part gets smaller, the RPM must increase to maintain the recommended surface feed. Conversely, as the diameter of the part gets larger, the RPM must decrease.
Note that the diameter of the drill and not the workpiece was used for RPM calculation. This was done because the cutting takes place at the diameter of the drill, not on the outside diame- ter of the workpiece. A turning operation is to be done on a 3.00-inch piece of 4140-alloy steel with a hardness of 200 HB.
