Do you have a question about the NEBULA 55600 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Hi, The headstock slides back, when clamping the wood on the lathe, even though I tightened it, the nut at the lock plate, all the way/ What can be done? Thanks
To fix the headstock sliding back on the Nova NEBULA 55600 lathe when clamping wood, you should:
1. Move the headstock to the desired position along the bed.
2. Re-tighten the locking shaft securely.
3. Ensure the headstock is properly locked and secured before running the lathe.
If the locking handle position is not ideal, adjust the nut at the bottom of the lock plate to change the locking handle position.
