The rack fits into a groove in the aluminum bed extrusion see illustration. Place the rack into the groove with the end without gear teeth toward the headstock and the other end flush with the tailstock end of the lathe bed. The rack is fixed in place with one capscrew 3" from the end of the lathe bed. Adjusting the Carriage Handwheel Pinion The handwheel pinion gear spins in an eccentric shaft. If the pinion does not engage the rack fully, loosen the setscrew locking the eccentric shaft located on the right side of the carriage.
Turn the eccentric shaft to raise or lower the pinion with relation to the rack. The adjustments to the pinion will have to be by trial and error since access is only possible when the carriage is removed from the lathe. Adjusting the Carriage Travel Any free play in the lathe carriage will make it impossible to accurately turn parts. To adjust the carriage, you must first clean the lathe bed of any packing grease, then apply a light coat of 10W oil to the bed.
Slide the carriage onto the bed until the handwheel engages the rack. Move the carriage about midway onto the bed. To remove play from the carriage you must adjust the gib on the back of the carriage. Back off the jam nuts on the two setscrews on either end of the carriage. Adjust both setscrews evenly until the carriage moves smoothly on the bed without play. Lock the jam nut on each set screw. Adjusting the Cross Slide Travel To adjust the cross slide travel, adjust the tension on the gib with the three set screws on the right side of the cross slide as above.
The post is fixed to the cross slide with a 10 square nut that rides in either slot on the slide.
Metal or cardboard shims may be needed to adjust the height of the cutting tools on centre to the spindle. When fixing a cutting tool in the post, make sure that both of the set screws clamping the tool are tight. The Tailstock A brass thumbscrew has been supplied with your lathe. If you wish, replace the hex-socket screw that locks the tailstock centre in position so that hand locking the tailstock is possible.
Remove the screw from the tailstock, but retain the steel bushing and replace it with the brass thumbscrew. Centering the Tailstock Remove the carriage from the lathe and bring the tailstock up to the headstock and lock it in place. Mount a taper or any center such as the blank collet in the headstock. Bring the tailstock center up to the known center in the headstock and adjust the tailstock's center until it is aligned by loosening the adjusting screw and moving the tailstock fore or aft on its dovetail way.
Changing Tailstock Centers To replace the standard tailstock center with a live center, first remove the lever pivot screw. Then remove the center with the lever attached; the lever is not used with the live center. Mount the live center. After working metal or wood, the lathe must be thoroughly cleaned of swarf or shavings with a soft cloth and brush such as an old toothbrush. After cleaning your lathe, oil the bed to prevent corrosion. Particular attention should be paid to the spindle threads. Before attaching any chuck or component to the spindle, make sure the threads are not damaged and are clean of debris.
Components will not seat properly if the threads are damaged and accurate turning will be impossible. If the lathe will be left idle for any period of time, you should release the tension on the drive belt; otherwise, you may induce localized stretching in the belt and experience some vibration once you restart the lathe. This will also prolong the life of the drive belt. Occasionally check each component for play and smooth movement. Adjust and lubricate any part that needs attention.
Carriage and Cross Slide 03J Includes carriage, cross slide, and toolbit post. Three-Jaw Chuck 03J Because it is self-centering, it is particularly useful for woodturning. Before using the chuck, the jaws must be trued. To do so, mount the washer supplied with the chuck into the recess milled into the bottom of the jaws.
