CORRECTIVE.ACTION
1. Sharpen tooling, select correct tool for operation.
2. Adjust tool rest so tool is
centerline.
3. Adjust for appropriate spindle speed (Page 27).
4. Troubleshoot possible causes/solutions in this
table.
1. Remount workpiece, making sure that centers are
embedded in true center of workpiece.
2. Cut workpiece to be concentric, or use a different
workpiece.
3. Shim machine base to eliminate wobble.
4. Reduce spindle speed (Page 27).
5. Stop lathe and fix interference problem.
6. Check lock levers and handles and tighten if nec-
essary (Page 17).
7. Align belt pulleys (Page 35).
8. Tighten motor mount bolts.
9. Replace belt (Page 36).
10. Test by rotating shaft; rotational grinding/loose
shaft requires bearing replacement.
1. Use correct chisel/tool.
2. Sharpen or replace chisel/tool.
3. Correct tool rest height (Page 23).
4. Move tool rest closer to workpiece.
1. Tighten mounting bolt/hex nut.
2. Clean bed or clamping surface to remove excess
oil/grease.
1. Tighten/adjust belt (Page 36).
2. Tighten pulley set screws; re-align/replace shaft,
pulley set screws, and key.
3. Remove excess material before remounting; use
lighter workpiece.
1. Align quill keyway and quill lock lever and slightly
tighten lever to engage keyway (Page 25).
