WilTec 61591 Operation Manual page 9

Tailstock adjustment
The tailstock is adjusted after loosening the clamping lever located below the machine bed or the

wing nut.
After setting the optimum clamping pressure using the handwheel, the tailstock spindle must be

secured with the lock nut.
Adjusting the tool rest
The height of the tool rest can be adjusted after releasing the locking handle.

The adjustment of the tool support in longitudinal direction is possible after loosening the clamp -

ing lever or the wing nut below the machine bed.
The tool rest must be brought as close as possible to the workpiece but without touching it.

Warning! Make sure that the workpiece support is firmly tightened and cannot rotate into the work-
piece.
Speed adjustment
Pull out the mains plug.

Loosen locking screw, open housing cover and loosen motor clamping screws. Lift the motor V-

belt to release the tension of the V-belt.
Fold the V-belt to the desired speed level (pay attention to alignment!).

The belt tension is achieved by lowering the motor, the dead weight of the motor is sufficient.

Retighten motor clamping screw after speed adjustment, close housing cover and fix with locking

screw.
A table with the corresponding speeds can be found on the inside of the housing cover.

Choosing the right speed
For new turning pieces, always start with the lowest possible speed and increase it with decreas -

ing unbalance of the turning piece.
Preselect the speed according to the cutting speed table, for noncircular workpieces start with

zero speed.
The choice of the correct speed depends on several factors when turning (e.g. size0e, unbalance,

material, etc. of the workpiece).
As a rule of thumb: non-circular workpieces, large workpieces, hard woods = low speed.
