To remove, use the knockout bar to tap out the spur centre.
Hold spur centre to prevent it from falling (Fig 23).
The live centre is used to hold a workpiece between centres.
Make sure the mating surfaces are clean.
Push the live centre into the quill.
Fig 24
To remove, rotate handwheel counter-clockwise to retract
quill, until centre releases from quill (Fig 24).
7.3 Adjusting tool rest
Position the tool rest as close to the workpiece as possible.
Tighten handle (A, Fig 25) to lock.
Fig 25
Set the height to approximately 3mm above centre. Tighten
indexable knob (B).
7.4 Adjusting tailstock
Turn the hand wheel (E, Fig 26) clockwise to move tailstock
quill forward. Lock quill with the indexable knob (D).
Fig 26
The handle (C) locks the tailstock in position on the bed.
The live centre can be ejected by turning the hand wheel
counter-clockwise.
The live centre pin can be removed to allow deep hole drilling
operations.
Caution: Do not position tailstock over the edge of bed. This
will result in less clamping surface and increase risk of injury.
7.5 Spindle index
The index feature allows you to cut evenly spaced features in
a workpiece while keeping the Lathe spindle locked.
The lathe provides 24 index positions.
These are identified by numbers on the spindle pulley (H, Fig
27).
Thread index pin (J) into the headstock. Make sure that it
locates in one of the pulley holes (I).
Note: A 3mm hex key (K) can be used to help tighten/loosen
the index pin.
