-12- Site Considerations FLOOR AND WORKBENCH LOAD Your Model G0516 represents a medium weight load in a 16 ⁄ " X 43" footprint. Most commercial or garage shop floors should be sufficient to carry the weight.
Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. G0516 Lathe/Mill Install Support Leg To install the support leg: Get the help of an assistant. Tip the lathe forward and have your assistant thread the leg w/attached foot into the lathe stand as shown in Figure 4.
Attach Mill/Drill to Lathe To attach the mill/drill unit to the lathe body: Get the help of an assistant. Locate the included nut that fits on the large bolt in the mounting bracket, so you have it ready for the next step.
To install the backsplash: Get the help of an assistant. Hold the backsplash against the back of the lathe so all of the mounting holes are aligned, and instruct your assistant to secure the back splash with the (2) M6-1 X 10 cap screws as shown in Figure 7, and (2) M8- 1.25 X 15 hex bolts and washers as shown in...

Removing Chuck or Faceplate The Model G0516 spindle nose mounting system uses a circular lock plate with slotted holes that are oversized at one end (keyholes). When the lock plate is rotated counterclockwise (as facing the chuck), the chuck or faceplate studs with mounting nuts can pass through the spindle nose.
Installing Tailstock Dead Center There are 2 dead centers included with the Model G0516. The smaller dead center is a MT#2 (Morse Taper) and fits in the tailstock barrel. To install the tailstock dead center: Familiarize yourself with the tailstock compo- nents shown in Figure 17.
G0516 Lathe/Mill Adjusting Tailstock Longitude Position The tailstock on the Model G0516 clamps to the bed with the nut shown in Figure 19. This nut allows the tailstock to be positioned longitudinally along the bed and then locked in place.
Changing Tool Posts The Model G0516 comes with a turret tool post. Grizzly also offers quick change tool post as an optional accessory to the Model G0516. Both tool posts can be removed and replaced in the same manner. To change a tool post from the compound...
Adjusting Cross Slide The cross slide is only designed to move perpen- dicular to the longitudinal axis of the lathe, and it features a scale on the handwheel that displays graduations of one thousandths of an inch (.001"). To adjust the cross slide:...
Select the desired feed rate you need by looking at the charts on the lathe drive cover. When new, Model G0516 is geared for a car- riage feed rate of .005" per revolution. Use the manual feed handwheel to position the carriage to your desired starting point and set the scale on the handwheel to “0”.
Understanding Gear Charts The Model G0516 can be geared for a variety of different feed rates, so charts are placed on the drive cover of the lathe that explain how to set up the gear combinations for each type of carriage feed application.

-30- Reverse Threading The Model G0516 can be setup to turn left-hand- ed threads by adding another fixed-shaft gear and moving the original fixed-shaft gear to anoth- er mounting location. Figure 44 shows the three mounting locations for fixed-shaft gears (spindle drive pulley is removed for clarity).

Tighten the cap screw in the gear bracket to keep it from pivoting. Spin the lathe chuck by hand to ensure that the gears do not bind. Replace the cover and test run the machine before proceeding with your specific opera- tion.
Changing Speeds The Model G0516 features 6 speeds—150, 240, 490, 750, 1200 & 2400 RPM. These speeds can be changed by positioning the V-belt in different sheaves on the drive pulleys, as illustrated in the speed change chart on the machine label or in Figure 49.

Aligning Tailstock The tailstock on the Model G0516 is aligned with the headstock at the factory. However, at times you may wish to misalign the tailstock for certain operations; then, realign it when you are finished. To align the tailstock: Center drill a 6'' long piece of round cold rolled stock on both ends.
