22. Fitting a Lathe to the RPLB24-48
Fitting a CL Series Lathe to the Bench
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the lathe is
firmly fixed to the bench before use. If
heavy duty turning is intended, the bench
should be bolted to the floor by means of
the holes in the bench feet. Use M10 or
3/8” dia. bolts.
1. Ensure that the bench is assembled with nuts
and bolts fully tightened before fitting the lathe.
2. Bolts (15) and washers (16) are used to fit the
lathe to the bench instead of the bolts and cast
washers supplied with the lathe which are not
suitable.
3. For the CL3-CAM and CL4-CAM lathes use the
holes in the top plates to bolt the lathe to the
bench as indicated, Fig 22.1.
4. The hole marked with a star, Fig 22.1, is
provided for fixing the optional end turning
attachment CL3/B (see assembly instructions
for CL3/B).
Please note: The maximum rigidity of the
bench will not be achieved until the lathe
is bolted firmly in position, Fig 22.3.
Fitting a DML36SH-CAM Lathe to
the Bench
The DML36SH-CAM can be mounted on the
bench at an angle using the holes in the top
plates as indicated. Alternatively, additional holes
can be drilled in order to mount it square.
See Fig 22.2.
