Rotate knob (B) clockwise until it engages the 7.0 Adjustments threads. 7.1 Headstock movement Always engage locking handle (A) before operating lathe. 7.1.1 Sliding 7.2 Tailstock movement Push handle (A, Figure 7-1) downward to unlock. Headstock will slide freely along length of bed. To slide tailstock, push locking handle (C, Figure 7- Push handle up to lock.
Make sure the clamp bushings (K) are pulled apart sufficiently to accept tool rest post. Figure 7-4: cam adjustment Remove stud from end of lathe bed, and slide tailstock off. Turn tailstock on its side, and tighten lock nut Figure 7-6 (F, Figure 7-4) to increase cam pressure, or loosen the nut to relieve cam pressure.
To remove a live center: Back off tailstock and remove workpiece from lathe. Loosen quill lock handle (M). Rotate handwheel counterclockwise to retract quill all the way, until live center comes out. Hold the center while doing this to prevent it from falling.
If centers do not align, unlock headstock and pivot it slightly. There should be enough “play” in headstock to adjust for this alignment. Lock headstock when finished. 7.15 Speed Range Adjustment (JWL- 1840EVS only) See Figure 7-13. Disconnect lathe from power source. To change speed range, open access door on headstock.

9.4 Stock Selection Stock for spindles should be straight grained and free of checks, cracks, knots and other defects. It should be cut 1/8" to 1/4" larger than the finished diameter and may require additional length so the ends can be removed later. Larger stock should have the corners removed to produce an octagon making the piece easier to rough down to a cylinder.
