4.8 Mounting a Faceplate or a Chuck
The thread size of headstock Spindle is 1.25" RH (Standard version), or M33 RH (Euro version), depending on your
model.
4.8.1 Mounting on the Standard Version Spindle
Use the Spindle Index Pin to lock the headstock spindle before commencing.
Step 1:
Use the Allen key to remove the safety screw from the faceplate or chuck before
installation.
Step 2:
Thread the faceplate or chuck onto the spindle thread all the way. Ensure the
surface of the faceplate is sitting flat against the spindle surface.
Step 3:
Tighten the safety screw on the faceplate or chuck to lock the faceplate in
place.
Unlock the spindle before turning the machine on.
WARNING! The faceplate or chuck body must contact the shoulder on the spindle bearing.
When installing or removing the Faceplate or Chuck from the spindle, the side-locking grub
screws MUST be completely removed. This avoids any potential damage to the spindle that the
safety screws may cause if it were not completely removed, when winding the Faceplate or Chuck
on or off the spindle.
