Model M1112 (For Machines Mfd. Since 12/20) 8. Loosen the tailstock lock lever and adjust the tailstock offset by half the taper by turning the Move tailstock toward front of lathe adjustment set screw (Figure 20). Turn another amount of taper. 0.010'' off of the stock and check for taper.
Model M1112 (For Machines Mfd. Since 12/20) OPERATIONS General NOTICE Complete the Test Run and Break-In procedure on Page 17 before using this lathe for any cutting or threading operations; otherwise, gear box damage may occur. The Model M1112 will perform many types of operations Always wear safety goggles when oper- that are beyond the scope of this manual.
Model M1112 (For Machines Mfd. Since 12/20) Mounting Chuck or Faceplate The Model M1112 is shipped with the 3-jaw chuck installed. This is a scroll-type chuck, meaning that all three jaws move in unison when adjusted. The 4-jaw chuck, on the other hand, features independent jaws.
Page 25
Model M1112 (For Machines Mfd. Since 12/20) To install a chuck, do these steps: 1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER! Camlock Stud 2. Place a piece of plywood across the lathe bed, wipe clean the spindle nose taper (Figure 25) and the mating surface on the chuck with a rag.
Page 26
Model M1112 (For Machines Mfd. Since 12/20) To load a workpiece, do these steps: 1. With the chuck key, open the jaws so the workpiece lays flat against the chuck face and jaw step or fits in the through hole. For jaw and work holding options, see Figure 27.
Model M1112 (For Machines Mfd. Since 12/20) Swapping Jaws The three-jaw scroll chuck has removable hardened steel jaws (Figure 28). The outside of the jaws are used to hold the workpiece from the outer diameter. Numbered from 1–3, the jaws must be used in the matching numbered jaw guides, see (Figure 29).
Model M1112 (For Machines Mfd. Since 12/20) Four-Jaw Chuck Four-jaw chucks feature hardened steel jaws that are adjusted independently. Each jaw can be removed from the chuck body and reversed. Independent jaw adjustment and re versal allows for a wide range of work holding versatility.
Model M1112 (For Machines Mfd. Since 12/20) 7. Make fine adjustments by slightly loosening one jaw and tightening the opposing jaw until the workpiece is precisely aligned. 8. Use a dial indicator to fine-tune your adjustments (see Figure 33), and use a lower RPM when machining heavy eccentric workpieces.
Model M1112 (For Machines Mfd. Since 12/20) Centers A tailstock center supports stock that is too long to be supported by the chuck alone. The tailstock barrel and live center have an MT#3 taper. Included with this lathe is an MT#3 to MT#5 spindle sleeve. If you need to install a center in the spindle when using the faceplate, you can do so by using this adapter sleeve.
Model M1112 (For Machines Mfd. Since 12/20) Steady Rest The steady rest supports long, small diameter stock that otherwise could not be turned because of deflection. The steady rest fingers are fitted with bearings that maintain consistent non-wearing support throughout the cut. The steady rest can also be used in place of the tailstock to allow for cutting tool access at the end of your workpiece.
Model M1112 (For Machines Mfd. Since 12/20) Feed Direction Lever NOTICE NEVER attempt to shift a lever while the lathe is running! And when shifting a lever, NEVER force it. If the lever will not engage, rotate the chuck by hand while keeping light pressure on the lever.
Model M1112 (For Machines Mfd. Since 12/20) Gearbox Levers NOTICE NEVER attempt to shift a lever while the lathe is running! And when shifting a lever, NEVER force it. If the lever will not engage, rotate the chuck by hand while keeping light pressure on the lever.
Model M1112 (For Machines Mfd. Since 12/20) Carriage/Cross Feed Lever Longitudinal and cross slide powered motions are controlled by the carriage/cross feed lever. The lever pivots through two stops that require moving the lever left and right as well as up and down. Moving this lever upward activates the automatic longitudinal feed.
Model M1112 (For Machines Mfd. Since 12/20) While other thread pitches may be achieved, the Model M1112 is designed so that gear changes are not needed for cutting inch threads. However, you will have to move the feed direction lever to the direction of thread you want to cut, and then move the feed rod lever to the right.
