6.0 Installation
1. Finish removing the wooden crate from around
the lathe.
2. Unbolt the lathe from the shipping crate
bottom.
3. Choose a location for the lathe that is dry, has
good lighting, and has enough room to service
the lathe on all four sides
4. Place two steel rods or pipes (of sufficient
strength) into four holes (A, Fig. 2) of lathe
stand. Sling the lathe with properly rated
straps. Do not lift by spindle. With adequate Figure 2
lifting equipment, slowly raise the lathe off the
shipping crate bottom. Make sure lathe is
balanced before moving.
5. To avoid twisting the bed, the lathe's location
must be absolutely flat and level. Check for a
level condition using a machinist's precision
level on the bedways both front to back and
side to side. The leveling pads included in the
tool box and the leveling screws in the lathe
base will help you to reach a level condition.
The lathe must be level to be accurate.
6. Clean all rust protected surfaces using a mild
commercial solvent, kerosene or diesel fuel.
Do not use paint thinner, gasoline, or lacquer
thinner, as these can damage painted
surfaces. Cover all cleaned surfaces with a
light film of Mobil DTE® Oil Heavy Medium.
7. Open the end gear door. Clean all
components of the end gear assembly and
coat all gears with Mobilith® AW 1. Close the
door.

4. Cover all chuck jaws and scroll inside the
chuck with Mobilith® AW2. Cover the spindle,
cam locks, and chuck body with a light film of
Mobil DTE® Oil Heavy Medium.
5. Lift the chuck up to the spindle nose and press
onto the spindle. Tighten in place by turning
the cam locks 1/4 turn clockwise. The index
mark (A, Fig. 3) on the camlock should be
between the two indicator arrows (B, Fig. 3). If
the index mark is not between the two arrows,
remove the chuck and adjust the camlock
studs by either turning out one full turn (if
cams will not engage) or turning in one full turn
(if cams turn beyond indicator marks).
6. Install chuck and tighten in place.

10.0 General description
Lathe bed
The lathe bed (A, Fig. 11) is made of high grade
cast iron. By combining high cheeks with strong
cross ribs, a bed with low vibration and high rigidity
is realized. Two precision ground v-slideways,
reinforced by heat hardening and grinding, are an
accurate guide for the carriage and headstock. The
main drive motor is mounted in the stand below
headstock.
Headstock
The headstock (B, Fig. 11) is cast from high grade,
low vibration cast iron. It is bolted to the bed by Figure 11
four screws with two adjusting screws for
alignment. In the head, the spindle is mounted on
two precision taper roller bearings. The hollow
spindle has Morse Taper #5 with a 1-1/2" bore.
Carriage
The carriage (A, Fig. 12) is made from high quality
cast iron. The sliding parts are smooth ground. The
cross slide is mounted on the carriage and moves
on a dovetailed slide which can be adjusted for
play by means of the gibs.
The compound slide (B, Fig. 12), which is mounted
on the cross slide (C, Fig. 12), can be rotated
through 360°. The top slide and the cross slide
travel in a dovetail slide and have adjustable gibs.
A four way tool post is fitted on the top slide.
Four way tool post
The four way toolpost (D, Fig. 12) is mounted on
the top slide and allows a maximum of four tools to
be mounted simultaneously. Remember to use a
minimum of two clamping screws when installing a
Figure 12
cutting tool.
Apron
The apron (E, Fig. 12) is mounted to the carriage.
In the apron a half nut is fitted. The half nut gibs
can be adjusted from the outside. The half nut is
engaged by use of a lever. Quick travel of the
apron is accomplished by means of a bed-
mounted rack and pinion, operated by a
handwheel on the front of the apron.
Tailstock
The tailstock (A, Fig. 13) slides on a v-way and can
be locked at any location by a clamping lever. The
tailstock has a heavy duty spindle with a Morse
Taper #3.
Leadscrew and feed Rod
The leadscrew (B, Fig. 13) and feed rod (C, Fig. Figure 13
13) are mounted on the front of the machine bed.
They are connected to the gearbox at the left for
automatic feed and lead, and are supported by
bushings on both ends. Both are equipped with
brass shear pins.
13
Gear box
The gear box (D, Fig. 13) is made from high quality
cast iron and is mounted to the left side of the
machine bed.
Steady rest
The steady rest (E, Fig. 13) serves as a support for
shafts on the free tailstock end. The steady rest is
mounted on the bedway and secured from below
with a bolt, nut and locking plate. The sliding
fingers require continuous lubrication at the contact
points with the workpiece to prevent premature
wear.
To set the steady rest:
1. Loosen three hex socket screws.
2. Loosen knurled screw and open sliding fingers Figure 13 (repeated)
until the steady rest can be moved with its
fingers around the workpiece. Secure the
steady rest in position.
3. Set the fingers snugly to the workpiece and
secure by tightening three hex socket cap
screws. Fingers should be snug but not overly
tight. Lubricate sliding points with Mobil DTE®
Oil Heavy Medium.
4. After prolonged use, the fingers will show
wear. Re-mill or file the tips of the fingers.
Follow rest
The traveling follow rest (F, Fig. 13) is mounted on
the saddle and follows the movement of the turning
tool. Only two fingers are required as the place of
the third is taken by the turning tool. The follow rest
is used for tuning operations on long, slender
workpieces. It prevents flexing of the workpiece
from the pressure of the cutting tool.
The sliding fingers are set similar to the steady
rest, free of play, but not binding. Always lubricate
with Mobil DTE® Oil Heavy Medium.

To allow time for the gears and bearings to break-
in and run smoothly, do not run the lathe above
650 R.P.M. for the first six hours of operation.

11.2 Feed and thread selection
1. Refer to the feed and thread charts found on
the gear box faceplate (A, Fig. 18 and sect.
13.0 of this manual).
2. Move levers (B, C, D, E, F, Fig. 18) to the
appropriate positions according to the chart.
17
11.5 Powered carriage travel
1. Push lever (B, Fig. 20) to the left and down to
engage crossfeed.
2. Pull lever to the right and up to engage
longitudinal feed.
12.0 Adjustments
After a period of time, wear in some of the moving
components may need to be adjusted:
12.1 Saddle
1. Locate four hex nuts found on the bottom rear
of the cross slide and back off one full turn
each.
2. Turn each of the four set screws with a hex
wrench until a slight resistance is felt. Do not
over tighten these screws.
3. Move the carriage with the handwheel and
determine if the drag is to your preference.
Readjust the set screws as necessary to
achieve the desired drag.
4. Hold the socket set screw firmly with a hex
wrench and tighten the hex nut to lock the set
screw in place.
18
5. Move the carriage again and readjust if
necessary.
Note: Over-adjustment will cause excessive
and premature wear of the gibs.
12.4 Tailstock
If the handle (A, Fig. 24) will not lock the tailstock,
follow the procedure below :
1. Lower the handle to the unlocked position.
2. Slide the tailstock to an area that allows
access to the underside of the tailstock.
3. Tighten tailstock clamping bolt (underside of
tailstock) 1/4 turn. Test for proper locking.
Repeat as necessary.
19
12.7 Headstock alignment
The headstock has been aligned at the factory and
should not require adjustment. However, if
adjustment is deemed necessary, follow the
procedure below to align the headstock:
1. Using a machinist's precision level on the
bedways, make sure the lathe is level side to
side and front to back. If the lathe is not level,
correct to a level condition before proceeding.
Re-test alignment if any leveling adjustments
were made.
2. From steel bar stock of approximately two
inches in diameter, cut a piece approximately
eight inches long.
3. Place two inches of bar stock into chuck and
tighten chuck. Do not use the tailstock or
center to support the other end. Figure 25
4. Set up and cut along five inches of bar stock.
5. Using a micrometer, measure the bar stock
next to the chuck and at the end. The
measurement should be the same.
6. If the measurements are not the same and
adjustment is required, loosen hex socket cap
screws (A, Fig. 25) which hold the headstock
to the bed. Do not loosen completely; some
drag should remain.
7. Adjust two screw nuts (B, Fig. 25) located on
the endgear side of the headstock. Loosen
one and tighten the other. Make another cut.
Keep adjusting screw nuts after each cut until
the bar stock measurements are the same.
Tighten all headstock screws.
20
12.10 Belt replacement and
adjustment
1. Disconnect machine from the power
source (unplug).
2. Open the end gear cover and lower cover on
the headstock side.
3. Take tension off old belts by loosening motor
mount hex nut (A, Fig. 27).
4. Remove belts. Install new belts onto pulleys.
5. Tension by tightening motor mount hex nut
until 8 lbs. force causes approximately 3/4"
deflection on belts.
6. Close end gear door, install cover and connect
lathe to the power source.
