4.3 Positioning the Headstock on the Bed
The headstock on the NOVA Nebula DVR 1825 Lathe uses a cam lock assembly for securing in place along the bed. To
move the headstock:
1. Insert the lock handle or knockout bar into the through hole in the locking shaft and loosen the shaft (shaft
can be tightened by rotating either direction, so rotate the opposite direction it was tightened).
2. Move the headstock along the bed and swivel the headstock to the desired position (-45°, 0°, 22.5°, 45°, 90°,
180°). The locking handle position be changed by adjusting the nut at bottom of the lock plate.
3. Re-tighten the locking shaft.
4. Ensure the headstock is secured before running the lathe.
WARNING! PINCH HAZARD – Remove hand from locking shaft when swivelling the
headstock.
4.3.1 Spindle Index/Lock
The spindle index pin locks the headstock spindle. It is selectable in 15-
degree increments (24 divisions). There is a window to read index numbers
(0 through 23).
1. Stop the lathe.
2. Pull the Spindle Index Locking Knob and turn it until the pin drops into
the hole. To lock the spindle, it must engage into a slot in the spindle
index plate.
WARNING! Make sure the index pin is disengaged before
operating the lathe. The locking knob must be secured in the
“Unlock” position to prevent it from engaging while the spindle is
turning.
