Support Assembly" are written
primarily for Mark V Models 500
and 510. If your system is a Mark
II, follow the instructions speci
fied for Model 500; for a Mark VII,
follow the instructions specified
for Model 500 for mounting the
table supports and Model 510 for
mounting the table posts.
Before any operations can be per
formed, you must assemble some
parts, set them up properly, and align
them on the Mark V. Your safety and
proper use of the Lathe Duplicator de
pend on your following the Assembly
and Setup instructions exactly, espe
cially those pertaining to your specific
Mark V Model. If you're unsure as
to which Model Mark V you own, refer
to the

on page 2.
Tools Supplied:
1/4",5/16" and 7/64"
Allen wrenches.
Tools and Supplies Required: 5/32"
standard Mark V Allen wrench, 9/16"
socket and socket wrench (or 9/16"
wrench), accurate combination square,
straightedge, mineral spirits and flooror
furniture paste wax.
Mark V Setup
Set up the Mark V in the lathe mode
according to the following procedures:
WARNING
Turn off and unplug the Mark V
before you begin any setup
procedures.
The following procedures assume
that the worktable has been re
moved, that there is nothing
mounted on any spindles of the
machine and that all alignment
and adjustment procedures spec
ified in the Mark V Owners Manual
have been completed_
1_
Attach the three new labels to the
headstock.
Remove the three labels
from the headstock and attach the
three new labels at the positions
shown. (See Figure 1.)
2. Mount the drive center on the main
spindle.
Slide the drive center all
the way onto the spindle. With the
5/32" Allen wrench, tighten the set
screw in the base of the center so that
the screw rests firmly against the
flat of the spindle.
3_ Mount the tailstock and tailstock
center_
Mount the tailstock in the base
mount and tighten the accessory
mount lock. Then insert the lathe cup
center or live center assembly in the
tailstock, so that it points toward the
headstock.
WARNING
• If you're using the cup center,
lubricate it with paste wax to
keep it from burning and wear
ing into the wood causing the
workpiece to loosen on the
lathe_
• Do not use more than two
spacers with the live center
assembly_
NOTE
• The live center assembly is
strongly recommended
for use
as the tailstock center. The ball
bearing construction allows it
to rotate with the workpiece.
Thus it won't burn into the wood
and cause loosening of the
workpiece as may sometimes
happen with the stationary cup
center.
• A spacer is supplied with your
Lathe Duplicator to extend the
length of the live center assem
bly for turning the full length of
the workpieces and turning
short spindles. (See Figure 2.) If
the live center assembly is dif
ficult to separate, hold the re
duced diameter end of the shaft
in a vise and grasp the head with
adjustable jaw pliers. Pad the
jaws of both the vise and pliers
to avoid marring the live center.
When you get ready to break down
the lathe mode, you'll probably
find the tailstock center is stuck
in the tailstock because of the
pressure needed to keep the tail
stock workpiece securely be
tween the centers_ If this is the
case, remove the tailstock from
the machine_ Lay the tailstock
over the edge of a workbench so
the eccentric mount is supported
by the table and the center is
hanging free_ Tap the back side of
the center with a nylon or rawhide
mallet to pop it loose_ Hold the
center with your free hand so the
center does not fall to the floor_
DON'T hit the center with a metal
hammer!
