REV 13.1:2020
Caution verify the lathe headstock will not make contact with the oil
drain pan.
Note- The Swiss headstock Minuteman will come with a drain pan, the fixed headstock
will not.
The Minuteman is designed to reclaim the oil that is circulated throughout the bar feeder back
into the oil tank. On Swiss head stock lathes that will utilize a telescoping nose, the nose
stepped design will allow for oil to flow back to the bar feeder. On fixed headstock lathes an oil
collector with drain hose attached to the end of the fixed nose. Directing the oil with a drain pan
is limited to the stroke of the Swiss headstock as it moves towards the bar feeder. The lathe
sheet metal should be cut so the drain pan may be as long as possible without crashing the
headstock. Extra-long drain pans are available from Edge Technologies. The drain pan can be
cut based on the application.
The drip pan comes in 2 sections in
a slide design. The length may be
changed by moving one into and
out of the other. Oil gathering (A)

The ring (C) may or may not be
used which is typically used with the
3 stage nose. The 4 stage nose will
interfere with the ring in place. Use
a bolt and screw to fasten the 2 oil
gathering slides when ring is not
used.
The drip pan may be mounted
in 2 locations on the side of
the Minuteman. Use the
location that is best suited for
the application and clearance.
