HEADSTOCK CONTROLS
1. HEADSTOCK SPINDLE LOCK: The spring loaded
Index Pin Assembly (#39B, FIG. 1, A) is used to position
the spindle for making accurate, spaced pattern work on
projects such as straight fluting, grooving, drilling, detail
carving, wood burning patterns and laying out designs.
See page 15 for more information on indexing.
NOTE: DO NOT use the Index Pin to remove accessories
from the lathe, or damage to the pin, or spindle pulley
may result. Use the wrenches provided with the lathe.
The Index Pin is spring loaded. Rotate the index Lever (A)
from its downward position, 180 degrees into the upward
position to engage the indexing pin. This will insert the
index pin's shaft end into one of the spindle pulley's 24
numbered holes (B), locking the spindle in place. To unlock
the spindle, rotate the index lever to its down position.
2. HEADSTOCK INDEXING HOLES: (FIG. 1, B) The
largest Spindle Pulley (#24B) has 24 positioning 'holes'
located around its left side. Each index hole is 15° apart,
and marked for reference around the pulley perimeter.
Insert the Indexing Pin (A) into one of these holes, and
the spindle will be locked so that work can be done on the
workpiece. See page 15 for additional information.
- Never start the lathe with the index pin
engaged in the spindle, or damage to the lathe will result.
- Never engage the spindle lock while the spindle is
turning, or damage to the lathe will result.
3. HEADSTOCK FACEPLATE: Faceplates (#3B, FIG. 2, C)
are used for turning bowls and plates. The screw holes in
the plate are for mounting the workpiece for turning.
- To install the faceplate, thread the faceplate onto the
spindle in a clockwise direction, and secure it in place with
the set screws that are located on the back hub of the
faceplate.
- To remove the faceplate, loosen the set screws. Use the
supplied 38mm Wrench on the flat portion of the spindle
(FIG. 2, X) and the 46mm Wrench on flats of the face-
plate's rear hub, then loosen the faceplate from the spindle.
Rotate the faceplate counter-clockwise to fully remove it
from the spindle.
4. HEADSTOCK SPUR CENTER: The Spur Center (#1B,
FIG. 2, D) is used for turning between centers. It fits into
the spindle. Both the spindle and spur center have match-
ing MT-2 tapers. The spur center can be removed from the
spindle with the long Knockout Bar (K) inserted through
the outboard left end of the spindle. NOTE: Be careful and
hold the spur center during this process so it does not fly
out onto the floor. A short Knockout Bar (L) is supplied to
remove the Spur Center's Center Point, if it needs replacing.
