Changing Speeds; Adjusting Tailstock - Woodstock SHOP FOX W1752 Owner's Manual

Changing Speeds

To change speeds, the belt in the headstock must be
repositioned. A chart on the pulley cover shows the belt
positions needed to make the lathe run at the desired
speed.
To change speeds, do these steps:
1. Loosen the lock handle, remove the belt cover, and
open the access plate (Figure 6).
2. Loosen the belt tension lock knob, and move the
belt tension lever up to reduce tension on the belt.
3. Locate the desired speed on the speed chart on the
belt cover, and move the belt to the desired grooves
on the motor and spindle pulleys.
For Example: As indicated in the speed chart, pulley
ratio B creates 1270 RPM (Figure 7).
4. Move the belt tension lever down, tighten the lock
knob, and reinstall the access plate and belt cover.

Adjusting Tailstock

The tailstock is equipped with a cam-action clamping
system to secure it to the lathe bed. When the lever is
tightened, a locking plate lifts up and secures the tool
rest to the bed.
To position the tailstock along the bed, do these
steps:
1. Loosen the release lever and move the tailstock to
the desired position (Figure 8).
2. Re-engage the release lever.
— If the release lever will not lock the tailstock down
onto the bed (either too loose or too tight), loosen
or tighten the hex nut (located on the underside
of the tailstock) in small increments as needed to
achieve the proper clamping pressure.
