Machine Description
The purpose of a metal lathe is to face, turn, knurl,
thread, bore, or cut tapers in a metal workpiece
with perfect accuracy.
During typical operations, the lathe spindle rotates
the workpiece at various speeds against a fixed
cutting tool that is positioned at a particular angle
for the desired type of cut.
The cutting tool is mounted on a tool post, which
is positioned by three different slides that each
move in different directions.
Opposite of the headstock and spindle is a support device called a tailstock. The tailstock can
be slid along the lathe bed and locked in place to
firmly support the end of a workpiece.

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to avoid
accidental slips, which could cause loss of workpiece control.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using
machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece material,
and always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifications—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase the risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before

Model G0709 (Mfg. Since 5/11)
Additional Safety for Metal Lathes
Never attempt to slow or stop the lathe spindle with
SPEED RATES. Operating the lathe at the wrong
speed can cause nearby parts to break or the
workpiece to come loose, which will result in dangerous projectiles that could cause severe impact
injuries. Large or non-concentric workpieces must
be turned at slow speeds. Always use the appropriate feed and speed rates.
CHUCK KEY SAFETY. A chuck key left in the
chuck can become a deadly projectile when the
spindle is started. Always remove the chuck key
after using it. Develop a habit of not taking your
hand off of a chuck key unless it is away from the
machine.
SAFE CLEARANCES. Workpieces that crash
into other components on the lathe may throw
dangerous projectiles in all directions, leading to
impact injury and damaged equipment. Before
starting the spindle, make sure the workpiece has
adequate clearance by hand-rotating it through its
entire range of motion. Also, check the tool and
tool post clearance, chuck clearance, and saddle
clearance.
LONG STOCK SAFETY. Long stock can whip
violently if not properly supported, causing serious
impact injury and damage to the lathe. Reduce this
risk by supporting any stock that extends from the
chuck/headstock more than three times its own
diameter. Always turn long stock at slow speeds.
SECURING WORKPIECE. An improperly secured
workpiece can fly off the lathe spindle with deadly
force, which can result in a severe impact injury.
Make sure the workpiece is properly secured in the
chuck or faceplate before starting the lathe.
CHUCKS. Chucks are very heavy and difficult to
grasp, which can lead to crushed fingers or hands
if mishandled. Get assistance when handling
chucks to reduce this risk. Protect your hands and
the precision-ground ways by using a chuck cradle
or piece of plywood over the ways of the lathe
when servicing chucks. Use lifting devices when
necessary.
CLEARING CHIPS. Metal chips can easily cut
bare skin—even through a piece of cloth. Avoid
clearing chips by hand or with a rag. Use a brush
or vacuum to clear metal chips.
STOPPING SPINDLE BY HAND. Stopping the
spindle by putting your hand on the workpiece
or chuck creates an extreme risk of entanglement, impact, crushing, friction, or cutting hazards.
your hand. Allow the spindle to come to a stop on
its own or use the brake.
CRASHES. Aggressively driving the cutting tool or
other lathe components into the chuck may cause
an explosion of metal fragments, which can result
in severe impact injuries and major damage to
the lathe. Reduce this risk by releasing automatic
feeds after use, not leaving lathe unattended, and
checking clearances before starting the lathe.
Make sure no part of the tool, tool holder, compound rest, cross slide, or carriage will contact the
chuck during operation.
COOLANT SAFETY. Coolant is a very poisonous biohazard that can cause personal injury from
skin contact alone. Incorrectly positioned coolant
nozzles can splash on the operator or the floor,
resulting in an exposure or slipping hazard. To
decrease your risk, change coolant regularly and
position the nozzle where it will not splash or end
up on the floor.
TOOL SELECTION. Cutting with an incorrect or
dull tool increases the risk of accidental injury due
to the extra force required for the operation, which
increases the risk of breaking or dislodging components that can cause small shards of metal to
become dangerous projectiles. Always select the
right cutter for the job and make sure it is sharp. A
correct, sharp tool decreases strain and provides
a better finish.
Model G0709 (Mfg. Since 5/11)
-9-
Additional Chuck Safety
ENTANGLEMENT. Entanglement with a rotat-
ing chuck can lead to death, amputation, broken
bones, or other serious injury. Never attempt to
slow or stop the lathe chuck by hand, and always
roll up long sleeves, tie back long hair, and remove
any jewelry or loose apparel BEFORE operating.
CHUCK SPEED RATING. Excessive spindle
speeds greatly increase the risk of the workpiece
or chuck being thrown from the machine with
deadly force. Never use spindle speeds faster than
the chuck RPM rating or the safe limits of your
workpiece.
USING CORRECT EQUIPMENT. Many workpieces can only be safely turned in a lathe if additional
support equipment, such as a tailstock or steady/
follow rest, is used. If the operation is too hazardous to be completed with the lathe or existing
equipment, the operator must have enough experience to know when to use a different machine or
find a safer way.
TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Using a chuck
incorrectly can result in workpieces coming loose
at high speeds and striking the operator or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of this hazard, read and understand this document and seek
additional training from an experienced chuck user
before using a chuck.
CHUCK CAPACITY. Avoid exceeding the capacity
of the chuck by clamping an oversized workpiece.
If the workpiece is too large to safely clamp with
the chuck, use a faceplate or a larger chuck if possible. Otherwise, the workpiece could be thrown
from the lathe during operation, resulting in serious
impact injury or death.
CLAMPING FORCE. Inadequate clamping force
can lead to the workpiece being thrown from the
chuck and striking the operator or bystanders.
Maximum clamping force is achieved when the
chuck is properly maintained and lubricated, all
jaws are fully engaged with the workpiece, and
the maximum chuck clamping diameter is not
exceeded.
PROPER MAINTENANCE. All chucks must be
properly maintained and lubricated to achieve
maximum clamping force and withstand the rigors
of centrifugal force. To reduce the risk of a thrown
workpiece, follow all maintenance intervals and
instructions in this document.
DISCONNECT POWER. Serious entanglement or
impact injuries could occur if the lathe is started
while you are adjusting, servicing, or installing the
chuck. Always disconnect the lathe from power
before performing these procedures.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY
Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrican or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
Electrocution, fire, or
equipment damage may
occur if machine is not
correctly grounded and
connected to the power
The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.
The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the requirements in the following section.
This machine is prewired to operate on a 220V
power supply circuit that has a verified ground and
meets the following requirements:
For your own safety and protection of
Note: The circuit requirements listed in this manual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one
machine will be running at a time. If this machine
will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines will be running at the same time,
consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the
circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must
contain a ground wire, match the required plug
and receptacle, and meet the following requirements:
Grounding Instructions
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.
Serious injury could occur if you connect
The power cord and plug specified under “Circuit
Requirements for 220V”
has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding prong. The plug must only be inserted into
a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances (see figure below).

Site Considerations
Weight Load
Physical Environment
Place this machine near an existing power source.
Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the maintenance and service described in this manual.
See below for required space allocation.
Children or untrained people
may be seriously injured by
this machine. Only install in an
access restricted location.
The physical environment where the machine is
operated is important for safe operation and longevity of machine components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are
generally those where the ambient temperature
range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity
range exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the
environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or
bumps.
Electrical Installation
Make sure all power cords are protected from
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals,
or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to
a means of disconnecting the power source or
engaging a lockout/tagout device, if required.
Lighting
Lighting around the machine must be adequate
enough that operations can be performed safely.
or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Lifting & Moving
Anchoring the machine to the floor prevents it
from tipping or shifting and reduces any vibration
that may occur during operation, resulting in a
machine runs slightly quieter and feels more solid.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connected (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes
may require that it be anchored to the floor.
If not required by any local codes, fastening the
machine to the floor is an optional step. If you
choose not to do this with your machine, we recommend placing it on machine mounts, as these
provide an easy method for leveling and they have
vibration-absorbing pads.
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a concrete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the
floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move
the machine later, if needed. However, anytime
local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring
methodology specified by the code.
You must use power lifting equipment and
assistance to lift and move this machine.
Inspect all lifting equipment to make sure
it is in working order and rated for the load
before attempting to lift. Ignoring this warning may lead to serious personal injury or
death.
Anchoring to Floor
Anchoring to Concrete Floors
This lathe has a hole built into each end of the
stand (see Figure 8) that is designed to accept
a sturdy 1" diameter lifting bar. Each bar must
extend far enough from the stand so that chains
or lifting straps can be looped or connected to all
four corners and the lathe can be lifted.

Leveling
For accurate turning results and to prevent
warping the cast iron bed and ways, the
lathe bedways MUST be leveled from sideto-side and from front-to-back on both ends.
Re-check the bedways 24 hours after
installation, two weeks after that, and then
annually to make sure they remain level.
Leveling machinery helps precision components,
such as bedways, remain straight and flat during
the lifespan of the machine. Components on a
machine that is not level may slowly twist due to
the dynamic loads placed on the machine during
operation.
For best results, use a precision level that is at
least 12" long and sensitive enough to show a
distinct movement when a 0.003" shim (approximately the thickness of one sheet of standard
newspaper) is placed under one end of the level.
Lubricating Lathe
It is critical that there is oil in the headstock,
quick change gearbox, and the apron gearbox
before proceeding with the test run. Refer to the
Lubrication instructions on Page 56 for more
details on which type and how much oil to use in
each gearbox.
GEARBOXES MUST
BE FILLED WITH OIL!
NO OIL SHIPPED WITH
MACHINE!
Refer to the Lubrication
Section in this Manual
for Recommended
Oil Type.
See the figure below for an example of a high
precision level.

Adding Cutting Fluid
For detailed instructions on where the cutting
fluid tank is located and how to add fluid, refer to
Cutting fluid System on Page 58.

Model G0709 (Mfg. Since 5/11)
Power Connection
Electrocution or fire
may occur if machine
is ungrounded, incorrectly connected to
power, or connected to
an undersized circuit.
Use an electrician or
qualified personnel to
ensure a safe power
connection.
Once all preparation steps previously described
in this manual have been completed, the machine
can be connected to the power source. In order to
be connected to the power source, a circuit must
be installed/prepared that meets the requirements
of the lathe, and a power connection method must
be established for that circuit.
Using an incorrectly sized cord causes machine
electrical components and the cord to become
very hot, which can lead to component failure or
result in fire. For best results, use the shortest
length of cord possible, and never use a smaller
cord gauge than the specified minimum.
Test Run
Once assembly is complete, test run the machine
to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular operation. The test run consists of verifying
the following: 1) The motor powers up and runs
correctly and 2) the stop button safety feature
works correctly.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate
the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop
using the machine immediately, then review
Troubleshooting on Page 59.
If you cannot find a remedy, contact our Tech
Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.
To begin the test run:
1. Make sure you understand the safety instruc-
tions at the beginning of the manual and that
all previous setup sections have been completed.
2. Make sure the lathe is lubricated and the
oil levels are at the full mark. Refer to

Spindle Break-In
Before subjecting the spindle to operational loads,
it is essential to complete the break-in process.
This helps ensure maximum life of spindle bearings and other precision components by thoroughly lubricating them before placing them under
load.
After spindle break-in is complete, we recommend
changing headstock and gearbox oil to remove
any metal particles or debris that are present from
the assembly and break-in process.
The break-in must be performed in succession
with the
manual, as the steps in that procedure prepare
the lathe controls for the break-in process.
Test Run procedure described in this
DO NOT perform this procedure independently of the Test Run section. The lathe
could be seriously damaged if the controls
are set differently than instructed in that
section.

Chuck & Faceplate
Removal/Installation
This lathe is shipped with a 3-jaw chuck installed,
but also includes a 4-jaw chuck and 12" faceplate.
The chucks and faceplate mount to the spindle
with a D1-5 camlock system, which uses a key to
loosen and tighten camlocks for removal or installation (see Figure 18).
Chuck & Faceplate Removal
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Lay a chuck cradle (see Figure 20) or a layer
of plywood over the bedways to protect the
precision ground surfaces from damage and
to prevent fingers from being pinched.
Figure 20. Simple chuck cradle made of scrap
lumber.
Figure 18. Chuck key positioned to remove a
typical camlock mounted chuck.
Before the 4-jaw chuck and faceplate can be
installed on the spindle, their respective cam
studs must be installed and adjusted.
To maintain consistent removal and installation
of the chucks and faceplate, each should have a
timing mark that can be lined up with a matching
one on the spindle, so it will be installed in the
same position every time (see Figure 19). Before
removing the 3-jaw chuck, verify that a timing
mark exists. If a mark cannot be found, stamp
your own on both the chuck and spindle.
Timing
Marks
PINCH HAZARD! Protect your hands and
the precision ground bedways with plywood
or a chuck cradle when removing the lathe
chuck! The heavy weight of a falling chuck
can cause serious injury.
3. Loosen the cam-locks by turning the key
counterclockwise approximately one-third of
a turn until the mark on the cam-lock aligns
with the single mark on the spindle nose in
Figure 21. If the cam-lock stud does not
freely release from the cam-lock, wiggle the
cam-lock until the cam-lock stud releases.
Note: These cam-locks may be very tight. A
breaker bar may be used to add leverage.

Large chucks are very heavy. Always get
assistance when removing or installing
large chucks to prevent personal injury or
damage to the chuck or lathe.
2. Place a piece of plywood across the lathe
ways just under the chuck, and use a chuck
cradle if desired.
3. Make sure the chuck taper and spindle taper
mating surfaces are perfectly clean.
4. Inspect and make sure that all camlock studs
are undamaged, are clean and lightly oiled,
and that the camlock stud cap screws are in
place and snug.
—If the camlock studs have not yet been
installed in the chuck or faceplate, complete the Camlock Stud Installation on
the next page.
NOTICE
Never install a chuck or faceplate without
having the camlock cap screws in place
or fully tightened. If you ignore this notice,
once installed the chuck may never be able
to be removed since the camlock studs will
turn with the camlocks and never release.
5. Use a rocking motion to carefully remove the
chuck from the spindle (see Figure 22).
—If the chuck does not immediately come off,
rotate the spindle approximately 60˚ and
tap again. Make sure all the marks on the
cams and spindle are in proper alignment.

Three-Jaw Chuck
To use the 3-jaw chuck:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
This section outlines basic operation safety related
to using the 3-jaw chuck included with your lathe.
Use knowledge of safety and common sense
when applying the steps on how to use this chuck.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact our
Technical Support Department.
The 3-jaw chuck shipped with this late has a twopiece reversible jaw design. An internal scrollgear, moves all jaws in unison when adjusted. This
chuck will hold cylindrical parts on-center with the
axis of spindle rotation, and can be spun at high
speeds if the workpiece is properly clamped and
is balanced. If a workpiece must be held from the
inside, rotate all three of the two-piece jaws 180°
so the orientation of all jaws match. Otherwise
the chuck will spin out of balance an create an
extreme thrown workpiece hazard!

Figure 25 shows a typical example of clamping
options available with a 3-jaw chuck. The chuck
included with this lathe has reversible jaws, which
means the lower jaw or master jaw do not need to
be removed to reverse the jaw position. Instead,
the top jaw is fastened to the master jaw with
cap screws that when removed allow for top jaw
reversal. It is a good practice to keep the top jaws
matched with their original master jaw, to ensure
maximum quality of alignment and exact fit.
2. Remove the cap screws that retain the top
portion of one of the jaws (see Figure 26),
and remove the jaw.

3. Making sure the longer cap screw remains in
the thicker part of the jaw, rotate the jaw 180˚
and re-install it to the lower jaw (see Figure
26).
4. Repeat Steps 2–3 on the remaining jaws
Always securely tighten
jaws and remove all tools
from the lathe before starting spindle! Thrown objects
from a lathe can cause serious injury or death to the
operator and to bystanders.

Four-Jaw Chuck
To use the 4-jaw chuck:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
This section outlines basic operation safety related
to using the 4-jaw chuck included with your lathe.
Use knowledge of safety and common sense
when applying the steps on how to use this chuck.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact our
Technical Support Department.
Select this chuck for low-speed lathe operations
only. The 4-Jaw chuck uses independently adjustable jaws, meaning each is adjusted by an individual worm gear. Non-cylindrical parts can be held
and brought into the spindle centerline for facing
or boring. The other benefit is that the majority of
a workpieces can be positioned out of the spindle
rotation axis if a bore or step needs to be cut into
a workpiece on an outlying edge.
For the best grip possible on odd-shaped
workpieces, one or more jaws can also be rotated
180° to grab more surface area for clamping.
If all four jaws cannot be used to hold the workpiece,
you must use the faceplate for improved clamping
options. Otherwise, a severe out-of-balance condition will be created. If spun even at an average
speed, this chuck will almost always be out of balance, and the machinist and bystanders will be at
risk of being hit with a thrown workpiece. Being hit
by an ejected workpiece can be fatal.
2. Install a center in the tailstock.
3. Open each jaw with the chuck wrench and
place the workpiece flat against the chuck
face.
4. Support the workpiece and slide the tailstock
forward so the tip of the dead center presses
against the workpiece. Next, lock the tailstock
in position. For more information, refer to the
tailstock controls on Page 67 and Centers on
Page 33.
5. Turn the tailstock quill so the dead center
applies enough pressure to the center point
of your workpiece to hold it in place (see
Figure 28), then lock the tailstock quill.

removed for clarity).
6. Turn each jaw until it just makes contact with
the workpiece.
7. Tighten each jaw in small increments. After
adjusting the first jaw, continue tightening in
opposing sequence (see Figure 28). Check
frequently to make sure the required point on
the workpiece has not wandered away from
the spindle centerline due to applying too
much pressure to a single jaw.
-31-
8. After the workpiece is held in place, back the
tailstock away and rotate the chuck by hand.
The center point will move if the workpiece is
out of center (see Figure 29).
Figure 29. Properly held workpiece for low
speed offset boring or machining.
9. Make fine adjustments by slightly loosening
one jaw and tightening the opposing jaw until
the workpiece is held securely and precisely
aligned with the spindle centerline.
Faceplate
This section outlines basic operation safety related to using the faceplate included with your lathe.
Use knowledge of safety and common sense
when applying the steps on how to use this faceplate. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our Technical Support Department.
The faceplate is cast-iron and has multiple slots
for T-bolts that hold clamping hardware. If you
suspect that any of the chuck or jaw combinations may not hold a workpiece safely, remove
the chuck and install the faceplate as outlined for
special clamping options.
However, just as with the 4-Jaw chuck, not
all workpieces can be safely held. Holding a
workpiece off center or holding an irregular-
shaped workpiece will cause the entire assembly
to rotate out of balance. If spun at any speed
higher than low, the workpiece can eject hitting
the lathe operator or bystanders causing a severe
or fatal injury.
Figure 30 shows an example of a workpiece being
improperly held with the 4-jaw chuck. One jaw of
the chuck interfered with the workpiece edge, and
removing the jaw creates an extreme workpiece
ejection hazard. The workpiece holding solution
shown in Figure 30 is to use the faceplate with
a minimum of three clamps that are spaced as
equally apart as possible for full support.

2. Insert a dead center into the tailstock, slide
the tailstock up to the faceplate, and lock the
tailstock into position.
3. Place the workpiece against the faceplate
and turn the tailstock quill so the point of the
dead center touches and applies enough
pressure to hold the workpiece in place.
4. Lock the quill when sufficient pressure is
applied to hold the workpiece. Additional
support may be needed, depending on the
workpiece.
5. Clamp the workpiece at a minimum of three
locations that are as close to being evenly
spaced apart as possible as shown in Figure
31.
The Model G0709 lathe is supplied with two MT#3
dead centers, an MT#3 live center, and a MT#5–
MT#3 adapter sleeve (see Figure 32) to adapt the
centers into spindle bore. When installing centers
verify that all mating surfaces are clean and free
of nicks and burrs.
Tip: Hand-held tapered bore wipers make this
task very time efficient, and offer consistently
clean bores.

drilling or boring, or position the tool bit for
facing.
Model G0709 (Mfg. Since 5/11)
Solid Dead Center
Dead centers are typically used in low speed turning operations to increase rigidity for close tolerances. The solid dead center is installed at the
spindle end of the lathe because the workpiece,
center, and spindle all turn together by the use of
a lathe dog. One end of the lathe dog is clamped
to the workpiece, and the other end the tail, is
inserted into a faceplate slot shown in Figure 33).
Tip: If the tail is too large for a slot, install the
3-jaw chuck, open the jaws so the workpiece can
be supported by the center and the tail of the dog
can rest against a jaw.

Carbide-Tipped Dead Center
When the workpiece is supported at the tailstock
end of the lathe, the workpiece will spin on the tip
of the fixed center. To eliminate the tip of the center from wearing out at this point of contact, the
carbide-tipped center is used. Nevertheless, during turning operations this tip must still be lubricated vigilantly, or the workpiece will wear, resulting in increased end play and poor turning results.
Typically, when using centers, the tailstock quill
should be locked and protrude at least
more than 3".
1
⁄2 ", but not
Live Center
If the workpiece must be spun at higher speeds,
the live center is inserted into the tailstock (see
Figure 34). Unlike a dead center, the tip of the live
center is supported with precision bearings that
allow it to support and spin with the workpiece.
As a result, virtually no wear occurs, and the
workpiece can be turned with less concern about
developing end play from tip wear. However,
when using live centers, accuracy can suffer as
a result of having bearings support the end of the
workpiece.

3. Position the tailstock so the center presses
against the workpiece, then lock the tailstock

4. Preload the quill into the workpiece. The
force against the workpiece will fully seat the
tapered center.
5. Lock the quill into place. However, keep in
mind that the quill may need to be adjusted during operation to remove any play
that develops between the center and the
workpiece.

Offsetting Tailstock
Quill Lock Lever
The quill lock lever (see Figure 36) secures the
quill in its current position. When drilling, or when
tapping operations need to be done deep into a
part, the quill can also be stabilized by slightly
applying the lever to add drag and preload to the
quill.

By offsetting the tailstock, the dead center can
hold a workpiece at a particular away from the
spindle centerline so tapers and pipe threads can
be cut. For a quick visual tool in keeping track of
tailstock movement, an offset scale (see Figure
37) with arbitrary increments is located at the rear
of the tailstock. However, to achieve exact taper
angles, or to adjust the tailstock back into the
spindle centerline, angle gauges and a test indicator must be used.
To offset the tailstock:
1. Loosen the tailstock lock lever.
2. Using a 4mm hex wrench, loosen one of the
front or rear adjustment screws shown in

of an inch. When a tailstock lock lever is tightened
by hand, the clamping pressure and tailstock
alignment can be inconsistent. To eliminate this
situation, a

Aligning Tailstock
The tailstock alignment was set at the factory with
the headstock. However, we recommend that you
take the time to ensure that the tailstock is aligned
to your own desired tolerances.
When clamped in place, a tailstock experiences
compression that draws its centerline downward
into alignment with the spindle centerline. This
distance is usually a few thousandths of an inch.
When a tailstock lock lever is used by feel, or
when used by different machinists, this alignment
can be inconsistent.

To eliminate this variable, a
wrench can be inserted into the lock lever drive
hub. The tailstock can then be clamped in place at
a pre-determined torque setting. All operators can
then rely on the same amount of draw-down alignment that is based on the same torque setting.

3. Place the live center in your tailstock.
4. Attach a lathe dog at the spindle end to the
bar stock from Step 1, and mount it between
the centers as shown in Figure 39.
Figure 39. Bar stock mounted between centers.
To align the tailstock:
1. Center drill a 6'' long piece of bar stock on both ends. Set it aside for use in Step 4.
2. Make a dead center by turning a shoulder
to make a shank. Flip the piece over in the
chuck and turn a 60° point (see Figure 38).
As long as it remains in the chuck, the point
of your center will be accurate to the spindle
axis.
Note:Keep in mind that the point will have
to be refinished whenever it is removed and
returned to the chuck.
5. Turn approximately 0.010" off the diameter.
6. Mount a dial indicator so that the plunger is
on the tailstock quill (see Figure 40).
Looking down from above.

7. Measure the stock with a micrometer. If
the stock is wider at the tailstock end, the
tailstock needs to be moved toward the front
of the lathe the amount of the taper (see
Figure 40).

— If the stock is thinner at the tailstock end,
the tailstock needs to be moved toward the
rear of the lathe by at least the amount of
the taper (see Figure 41).
Drilling with
Tailstock
The tailstock quill has an MT#3 taper with a lock
slot at the bottom to accept tang-style tooling. If
the tooling will experience high torque loads during operation, it is critical to use tanged-style to
prevent the drill bit or arbor from spinning and
galling the quill bore. Restoring a galled bore
and taper can be time consuming or require quill
replacement.
However, tooling without tang-styled arbors can
be used if they meet the following criteria.
Looking down from above.

NOTICE
DO NOT forget to lock the tailstock to the
ways after each adjustment.
8. Loosen the tailstock lock lever and adjust the
tailstock offset by the amount of the taper.
9. Turn another 0.010'' off of the stock and
check for any taper.
10. Repeat as necessary until the desired level of
accuracy is achieved.
• Very little torque loads will be applied to the
tooling such as with centers.

• The tap or drill bit is not larger than
diameter.
• The end of the arbor is solid, or has a screw
threaded into the hole making the end of the
arbor solid. Installing an arbor with a solid end
is important to avoid the arbor from becoming
stuck in the quill. Some arbors equipped with
the hole are too short to be exposed in the
drift slot for removal, and the tailstock pin has
no surface to push against when using the
handwheel to remove the arbor. As a result,
the arbor becomes stuck requiring the quill
to be removed and the arbor driven out with
a punch.

Tip: When drilling or when tapping operations
need to be done deep into a part, the quill can
also be stabilized by slightly applying the lever to
add drag and preload to the quill.
To install a tanged drill or chuck:
1. Lock the tailstock in position, then unlock the
quill.
2. Use the quill feed handwheel to extend the
quill about 1" out of the tailstock.
3. Insert an MT#3 chuck arbor or drill bit into the
quill just until the tang drops into the slot and
the tapers just touch.
Tip: For maximum locking of large diameter drill
bits, push and seat the drill bit into the quill
with a clockwise rotation as to load the tang
against its slot.
4. Tap the end of the tooling or drill bit with a
wooden block or mallet to seat the tool.
To remove a tapered drill or chuck:
1. Turn the handwheel counterclockwise until
the arbor or drill bit is pushed out from the
tailstock taper.
—If the tool is stuck in the bore and cannot
be removed by turning the handwheel with
moderate force, extend the quill to expose
the drift key slot, and use any standard drift
key to remove the stuck tooling.
5. Lock the quill.

Cutting Fluid System
The cutting fluid system delivers cutting fluid via a

fluid pump turns ON and OFF with a switch located on the control panel. Fluid flow is controlled by
a manual flow control valve near the base of the
distribution hose (see Figure 43).

NOTICE
Running the pump without adequate cutting
fluid in the reservoir may permanently damage it. This type of damage is not covered
by the warranty.
The steady rest is clamped to the ways and supports the workpiece with three fingers at a single
point between the chuck and the tailstock.
The follow rest is bolted to the carriage and travels
with it during turning or threading operations. Two
fingers support the workpiece while the tool tip
acts as the third support during cutting.
Both the steady rest and the follow rest use ball
bearing-tipped fingers instead of solid brass tips.
The fingers have a guide slot where the tip of
an adjustable set screw rides. These screws are
held in place with jam nuts. The set screws must
be tightened inward far enough so they bottom
slightly, providing preload and keeping the finger
in alignment with only slight rocking in its bore.
When using either of these rests, keep in mind
that most machining operations must be done at
low spindle speeds to prevent a workpiece ejection hazard.
Always use high quality cutting fluid and follow the
manufacturer's instructions for diluting. Frequently
check the cutting fluid condition and change it
promptly when it becomes overly dirty or rancid.
Refer to Cutting Fluid on Page 58 for changing
the fluid or filling for the first time.
To use the cutting fluid system:
1. Make sure the cutting fluid tank is properly
serviced and filled.
2. Position the cutting fluid nozzle as desired for
your operation.
3. Use the control panel switch to turn the cutting fluid pump ON.
4. Adjust the flow of cutting fluid by using the
valve lever at the base of the nozzle hose.

Spider
Spindle Speed
Your lathe is equipped with a set of outboard
spindle supports known as a "spider," shown in
Figure 46.
Spider
Figure 46. Spider assembly located on the out-
board spindle.
Use the spider when a long workpiece has the
potential to wobble or vibrate when it extends
through the outboard side of the spindle.
Using the correct spindle speed is important for
safe and satisfactory results, as well as maximizing tool life.
To set the spindle speed for your operation, you
will need to: (1) Determine the best spindle speed
for the cutting task, and (2) configure the lathe
controls to produce the required spindle speed.
Determining Spindle Speed
Many variables affect the optimum spindle speed
to use for any given operations, but the two most
important are the recommended cutting speed
for the workpiece material and the diameter of
the workpiece, as noted in the formula shown in
Figure 47.
*Recommended
Cutting Speed (FPM) x 12
Dia. of Cut (in inches) x 3.14
Spindle
=
Speed
(RPM)
*Double if using carbide cutting tool
The tips of the spider screws have brass wear
pads that hold the workpiece without causing
indents or marring.
When the spider screws are installed, and regardless if they are used to hold a workpiece or not,
always lock each spider screw in place by tightening the jam nuts. If a workpiece is installed,
merely tightening the spider screws against the
workpiece and leaving the jam nuts loose is not
safe. Spider screws that loosen during operation
can crash into the lathe end cover.
To avoid creating an entanglement hazard,
remove the spider screws when not in use,
and always disconnect the lathe from power
when installing, removing, or adjusting the
spider screws. Ignoring this warning can
lead to personal injury or machine damage.
Figure 47. Spindle speed formula for lathes.
Cutting speed, typically defined in feet per minute
(FPM), is the speed at which the edge of a tool
moves across the material surface.
A recommended cutting speed is an ideal speed
for cutting a type of material in order to produce
the desired finish and optimize tool life.
The books Machinery’s Handbook or Machine Shop Practice, and some internet sites, provide excellent recommendations for which cutting
speeds to use when calculating the spindle speed.
These sources also provide a wealth of additional
information about the variables that affect cutting
speed and they are a good educational resource.
Also, there are a large number of easy-to-use
spindle speed calculators that can be found on
the internet. All of these sources will help you
take into account all the applicable variables in
order to determine the best spindle speed for the
operation.

Changing Spindle Speed
To change the spindle speed:
This lathe is equipped with two levers shown in
Figure 48 that are used to achieve eight spindle
speeds. Never move either lever while the
spindle is rotating, or gear clash and tooth
fracture may occur. When the lathe is stopped,
if the levers do not fully engage, the spindle must
be slightly rotated by hand.

This micrometer scale is a "Standard Dial" that
has a ratio of 1:2. For example, if the hand wheel
is rotated clockwise 0.015" during a turning operation, 0.030" will be removed from the overall diameter of the workpiece, as the outside diameter is
measured with a caliper.

Sometimes it is necessary to rock the carriage
handwheel or the cross feed handwheel to assist
in fully engaging the chosen feed gears. To prevent inadvertent apron damage, the apron is
equipped with an internal lockout system that prevents the feed selection lever and half-nut levers
from being engaged at the same time. However,
before engaging the apron for any longitudinal
feed operations, make sure that the carriage lock
is loose and the carriage is allowed to move freely,
or the feed system may be damaged.
Moving the feed selection lever upwards from the
central or disengaged position engages the cross
slide for in-and-out facing operations.
Moving the feed selection lever downwards from
the central disengaged position, engages the
carriage for left-or-right longitudinal turning operations.
The speed at which the carriage travels is set with
the feed speed dials (refer to Feed Settings on

NOTICE
A high feed rate or threading at a high speed
reduces your reaction time to disengage the
apron or leadscrew to avoid a crash with
the spinning chuck. When threading, making too deep of a cut can result in the half
nut binding with the leadscrew causing an
impaired ability to disengage the half nut
to avoid a chuck crash. Pay close attention to the feed rate you have chosen and
keep your foot poised over the brake pedal.
Failure to fully understand this may cause
the carriage to crash into the chuck.

Various feed rates are achieved on this lathe by
moving knobs, levers, and rearranging change
gears according to the threading chart located
on the headstock. All required change gears are
pre-installed on this lathe, and no external gears
are required.
To set up for a power feed operation:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Remove the cover on the left-hand side of the
headstock to expose the change gears.
3. Look at the lathe feed rate chart, and find the
required feed rate for your turning or facing
operation. In each box on the chart, two numbers are separated by a slash (see Figure
51). The top-right number is carriage feed,
and the bottom-left number is cross feed. If
for example, a carriage feed rate of 0.00168"
is needed, the change gears and feed dials
must be in the following positions FATX1.
—"F" is the first letter in the sequence and
indicates that the change gears must be
rearranged in the "F" sequence as shown
in Figure 52. The change gears are locat-
ed on the left-hand side of the lathe, behind
the headstock gear cover shown in.
—"ATX" is the second group of letters that
indicate which positions to turn the letteredfeed dials to.
—"1" is the last digit and indicates which posi-
tion to turn the numbered feed dial to.

gear teeth, arrange the change gears to
match the order under "F" (see Figure 52).
Figure 52. Change gear and chart relationship.
5. Rotate the spindle by hand to verify no bind-
ing exists, and re-install the gear cover.
6. Move the feed dials to the combination of
FATX1, as shown in Figure 53.
Thread Settings
Regardless of the example given below, the setup
procedure on this lathe is the same for metric,
inch, module, or diametral pitch threads. These
thread selections are indicated by a series of
letters and numbers shown on the headstock
threading charts. First, the change gear positions
are checked and rearranged if indicated by the
chart. Next, the quick change gearbox knobs and
levers are moved to specific positions also indicated by the chart.
To set up for threading:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Remove the cover on the left-hand side of the
headstock to expose the change gears.
3. Review the threading chart for the required
thread to be cut (see Figure 54). The chart
indicates that to cut a 0.75 metric thread, the
change gears and feed dials must be in the
following positions FBSW6.
—"F" is the first letter in the sequence and
indicates that the change gears must be
rearranged in the "F" order (see Figure
55).
—"BSW" is the second group of letters that
indicate which position to turn the letteredfeed dials to.
—"6" is the last digit and indicates which
position to turn the numbered feed dial to.

Feed Direction Lever
When threading, the feed direction lever (see
Figure 57) moves the carriage to the left toward
the headstock (forward), and moves the carriage
to the right toward the tailstock (reverse). The
leadscrew will not turn when the feed direction
lever is in the neutral position.
Figure 55. Change gear and chart relationship.
5. Rotate the spindle by hand to verify no bind-
ing exists, and re-install the gear cover.
6. Move the threading dials to the combination
of FBSW6, as shown in Figure 56.

Feed Selection Lever
To prevent apron and drive system damage, the
apron is equipped with an internal lockout, meaning that in order to engage the half nut for threading, this lever (see Figure 57) must be moved to
the central or the disengaged position. Also keep
in mind that just as with longitudinal feed operations, before any threading operation. You must
first verify the carriage lock (see Figure 57) is
disengaged, or the feed system may be damaged.

Half-Nut Lever
When the feed selection lever and carriage lock
are disengaged, the half-nut lever (Figure 59)
can be moved downward from the disengaged
upper position to clamp the half nut around the
leadscrew for threading operations.
Thread Chart
The thread dial chart is located on the headstock
cover, as shown in Figure 60 and 61.

DO NOT engage the half nut if the leadscrew
will rotate over 200 RPM, or if the carriage
lock is applied. Disregarding this warning
may cause damage to the bearings or the
leadscrew shear pin to break.
Thread Dial
When cutting inch threads and the pass has been
completed, the thread dial (see Figure 60) allows
the machinist to disengage the carriage from the
leadscrew, and quickly return the carriage for the
next pass. Based on the thread TPI being cut, and
what is indicated on the thread chart, the dial indicates where the machinist must re-clamp the half
nut in order to resume the same thread to avoid
cross-cutting threads.
Thread Dial
Chart
Figure 60. Thread dial chart and thread dial
locations.
Thread Dial
When cutting metric and other types of threads, the
thread dial must be disengaged from the leadscrew,
and the half nut clamped to the leadscrew until the
threads are complete. Otherwise the path of the
same thread will be lost. All carriage returns for
non-inch threads are made by backing the tool
point out of the thread, and reversing spindle rotation with the spindle ON/OFF lever.
To engage the thread dial, loosen the mounting
cap screw, then pivot the dial into the leadscrew
so the gear teeth mesh with the leadscrew.
Retighten the cap screw to hold the thread dial in
place.

Find the TPI (threads per inch) that you want to cut
in the left columns (under TPI), then reference the
dial number in the right columns (under Scale).
The dial number indicates when to engage the
halfnut for a specific thread pitch as indicated by
the thread dial (see Figure 60).
The following examples explain how to use the
thread dial and the thread dial chart.
TPI Divisible by 8: For threading a TPI divisible
by eight, use any line on the thread dial (see the
example in Figure 62).
Odd Numbered TPI: For odd numbered TPI,
use only the number 1 on the thread dial (see the
example in Figure 64).

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect power
from the machine before
performing maintenance.
Ignoring this warning may
result in serious personal
injury.
Schedule
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Cleaning
Cleaning the Model G0709 is relatively easy.
Disconnect the lathe before cleaning it. Remove
chips as they accumulate. Vacuum excess metal
chips and wipe off the remaining cutting fluid with
a dry cloth when finished for the day. Chips left
on the machine soaked with water-based cutting
fluid will invite oxidation and gummy residue to
build up around moving parts. Preventative measures like these will help keep your lathe running
smoothly. Always be safe and responsible with
the use and disposal of cleaning products.
Every 6–8 Hours of Running Time:
• Clean/vacuum lathe.
• Wipe down unpainted cast iron, including
leadscrew, with way oil or other quality metal
protectant.
• Lubricate ball oilers (Page 54).
• Check oil reservoirs (Page 56).
Each Week:
• Check cutting fluid system (Page 58). Clean
tank and replace cutting fluid as necessary.
Each Month:
• Check/adjust V-belt tension (Page 70).
Every Six Months:
• Change oil in headstock, gearbox, and apron
(Page 57).
Unpainted Cast Iron
Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the
lathe by wiping them clean after every use—this
ensures moisture does not remain on bare metal
surfaces.
Keep ways rust-free with regular applications
of H8257—Primrose Armor Plate with Moly-D
Machine and Way Oil.
Model G0709 (Mfg. Since 5/11)
-53-
Ball Oiler Lubrication
When lubricating ball oilers, we recommend using an oil gun with a rubber tip wide enough to seal against
the ball oiler inlet. A good seal allows the gun to build enough hydraulic pressure to flush out contaminants
and deliver oil at the end of long passages. We do not recommend using oil guns with a steel lance tip,
because they do not create a seal and the narrow tip can easily dislodge the ball—resulting in contamination, insufficient lubrication, and a damaged ball oiler.

Oil Reservoirs
Checking & Adding Oil
The headstock, gearbox, and apron have oil reservoirs that are equipped with sight glasses for
quickly checking oil levels. Before and after every
use, make sure that the oil levels are correct.

Changing Oil
The oil in the reservoirs must be changed after
the first three months of operation, then twice a
year after that. If the lathe is under heavy use,
more frequent oil changes will be required to keep
the gearboxes clean and ensure long machine
life. Some lathe owners believe that by using full
synthetic oils in the gearboxes is a way to extend
oil change intervals. We do not recommend this
practice. While synthetic oils are superior this lathe
does not use a filter to remove contaminants that
are generated during normal use, such as when
shifting gears. Changing the oils on a frequent
basis to flush out moisture and contaminants is
still the best option to ensure long gearbox life.
V-Belt Tension
After initial break in, the V-belts slightly stretch
and seat into the pulley. It is important to check
and adjust them to compensate for this initial
wear. Check the tension thereafter on a monthly
basis.
use the 24mm wrench to loosen the motor
mount bolts (Figure95) and slide the motor
downward until the deflection is correct.
2. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
3. Remove the headstock gear cover.
4. Using a funnel or cardboard ramp if desired
to direct waste oil into the drain pan, position
the drain pan under the gearbox drain plug.
5. Remove the fill plug and the drain plug from
the selected oil reservoir, and allow all oil to
drain.
6. Re-install the drain plug, add oil to the reservoir until the sight glass reads full. Then
re-install the fill plug.

Cutting Fluid System
BIOLOGICAL AND
POISON HAZARD! Use
the correct personal protection equipment when
handling cutting fluid and
by follow federal, state,
and fluid manufacturer
requirements to properly
dispose of cutting fluid.
3. Inspect the level of cutting fluid inside the
tank. The cutting fluid should be approximately an inch below the top of the tank.
4. Using a wooden stick, check the level of the
metal chips in the first chamber (see Figure
96). If the chips are
then remove the chips.

Rim
Located at the tailstock end of the lathe is an
access cover where the pump and a cutting fluid
tank are located. A screen in the chip drawer prevents large metal chips from entering the tank. The
small metal chips wash down into the cutting fluid
tank that is split into two chambers by means of
a baffle. The first chamber allows the small chips
to settle to the bottom, and lets clean cutting fluid
overflow the baffle and enter the second chamber
where the pump draws clean fluid. Inspect the
tank often to verify that metal chips are not overflowing into the second chamber where, if left for
a period of time, pump damage may occur.
Tip: For speedy chip removal from the tank, a
metal catch basket with handles can be made to
lift out the metal chip buildup in the first chamber.

Gib Adjustments
The cross-slide and compound slide on this lathe
each use a long steel wedge called a gib that
is positioned between the component and its
dovetailed-ways. At the end of each gib is a gib
screw one of which is shown in Figure 97. The
screws at each end of the gib oppose one another
to move and hold the gib in a forward or aft position. Depending which direction the gib is moved
and held, the space between the sliding ways is
increased or decreased to control the rigidity of
the cross slide and compound slide.
Tools Needed Qty
Standard Screwdriver #2 ................................... 1
Make sure the ways and leadscrew have been
cleaned and re-lubricated before beginning any
adjustments. Refer to Ball Oiler Lubrication on
Page 54 for instructions and lubricant specifications.
To adjust the cross slide gib:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
Before adjusting gibs, consider the lathe operation that you will perform because the cross slide
and compound rest leadscrew nuts may also have
to be adjusted.
• For heavy turning and facing loads, tighten
gibs for maximum rigidity, and loosen the
leadscrew nuts for shock loading protection.
• For high-tolerance turning and facing, and
light-loads, loosen the gibs to allow for small
slide movements without binding or tool bit
leap, and tighten the leadscrew nuts for fine
handwheel control.
Most lathe operations exist between the two
examples above. Finding the optimum combination for your requirements may take practice, and
trial and error before you are satisfied.
NOTICE
When adjusting gibs, keep in mind that the
goal of gib adjustment is to remove unnecessary sloppiness from the slide without
causing binding and excessive half nut
wear.
Tip: The compound and cross slide gibs have a
gib lock screw that are shown in Figures 97 –98.
This screw allows the machinist to quickly tighten
the locks to hold a gib and slide in a rigid position
without having to tighten the gibs. When finished
with the need for increased rigidity, the gibs then
are quickly unloaded back to their normal state by
loosening the screw.
2. Loosen the gib lock shown in Figure 97.

Compound Slide Gib
Figure 98 shows the gib arrangement for the
compound slide. The compound slide gib adjusts
in the same manner and with the same tools
as the cross slide gib. However, in this case, to
increase or decrease tension, the gib adjustment
screw directions are reversed.

Front Gib Screw
The saddle gib is located on the bottom of the
back edge of the slide (Figure 100). This gib is
designed differently than the cross or compound
slide gibs. Instead of being a wedge-shaped
plate, it is a flat bar. The gib pressure is applied
by four set screws. Hex nuts secure these set
screws in place, so they will not loosen during
operation.
Gib

Figure 100. Saddle gib components.
Saddle Gib
The saddle is supplied with a carriage lock on the
front right-hand side of the slide (see Figure 99).
This bolt locks the saddle in place for increased
rigidity when making face cuts. Before making
adjustments to the saddle gib, make sure that this
lock is loose by turning it counterclockwise one
full turn.
IMPORTANT: Do not loosen the carriage lock
more than a couple of turns or the components
inside will come apart. Re-installing these components is difficult and time consuming.
2. Clean and lubricate the lathe ways, slide, and leadscrew (refer to Ball Oiler Lubrication on
Page 53 for instructions and lubricant specifi-
cations).
3. If the carriage lock (Figure 87) is tight, loosen
it two turns.
4. Loosen the jam nuts on the four set screws
shown in Figure 100, and adjust the set
screws as follows:
—To tighten the carriage gib, tighten the set
screws.

Backlash Adjustment
Backlash is the amount of play in a leadscrew
and can be felt as the free play in a handwheel
when changing direction of rotation. The amount
of the backlash can be viewed on the handwheel
micrometer-collar.
3. Rotate the cross slide handle clockwise to
feed the leadscrew nut out from under the
cross slide, as shown in Figure 102.
Leadscrew Nut
When adjusting backlash, tighten the components
enough to remove backlash, but not so much that
the components bind the leadscrew, making it
hard to turn. Overtightening will cause excessive
wear to the sliding block and leadscrew.

Half Nut Adjustment
The half-nut mechanism can be adjusted if it
becomes loose from wear. The half nut is mounted in ways with a gib exerting pressure between
components to reduce sloppy movement. The
half-nut gib is a flat bar-type gib, similar to the saddle gib, and is tensioned with three set screws.
Leadscrew Endplay
Adjustment
After a long period of time, you may find that the
leadscrew develops a bit of end play. This lathe
is designed so that play can be removed with a
simple adjustment.

half nut is correctly adjusted when you feel
a slight drag while opening and closing it. It
should not feel too stiff or too loose.
6. Repeat Steps 3–5, if necessary, until you are
satisfied with the half nut adjustment, then reinstall the thread dial.

Model G0709 (Mfg. Since 5/11)
Shear Pin
Replacement
A straight 4 x 42mm brass shear pin (Figure 105)
holds the leadscrew and the drive hub together.
The pin is designed to shear and help protect
the lathe drivetrain from damage if an overload is
encountered.
For example, the pin may shear if the carriage
path is obstructed during threading, the tool bit
crashes into a workpiece shoulder, the carriage
lock is left applied when the half nut is engaged,
or too deep of a cut is taken, causing a sudden
binding of the tool and workpiece.
It is imperative to recognize, however, that the
shear pin is not a foolproof way of protecting your
lathe from damage if an operational mistake is
made, a chuck-carriage crash occurs, or general
machine overloading occurs on a regular basis.
Always have a few extra pins on hand in case of
an emergency. If a replacement is not on hand,
do not improvise by inserting a roll pin, cotter pin,
steel dowel, or nail. Doing so will void the warranty, and can lead to a non-shearing pin, resulting in
catastrophic gearbox damage.
2. Unlock the half-nut lever and disengage the
gearbox so the leadscrew can be rotated by
hand.
3. Rotate the drive hub, and inspect it to see if
the pin is still stuck in both sides of it.
—If one half of the shear pin has fallen out
and the leadscrew shaft can be seen
through the pin hole, rotate the leadscrew
and until the end of the inner sheared pin
can be seen. Next, insert the
punch into the hole and tap the pin out
through the other side.
—If the shear pin halves are still stuck in both
sides of the drive hub, center punch one of
pins and drill an
mately
screw into the hole until the screw begins
to thread into the brass. Using pliers, pull
the pin from the hole, and drive the rest of
the pin out as outlined above.
4. Align the holes in the drive hub with the hole
in the leadscrew, and tap the new shear pin
into position until it is flush.
Tip: For easy shear pin replacement in the
future, use the center punch or a scribe and
mark the end of the drive hub and the side of
the leadscrew with a timing mark to indicate
where true hole alignment is located. Next,
scribe a line on the leadscrew just where it
enters the drive hub, this line will indicate correct depth of leadscrew. Should the pin ever
shear again, line-up the marks, and drive out
the pin pieces, and tap in the new pin.

It is imperative to recognize however, the clutch
is not a foolproof way of protecting your lathe
from damage if an operational mistake is made, a
chuck-carriage crash occurs, or general machine
overloading occur on a regular basis.
Never completely tighten the feed clutch spanner
nut past its normal setting outlined in this procedure in an attempt to completely eliminate clutch
slip. Doing so will void the warranty, and can lead
to a non-slipping clutch, resulting in catastrophic
gearbox damage.
—If the clutch was dissembled or replaced
for any reason, use the spanner wrench to
tighten the spanner nut until a noticeable
increase in torque is felt in the wrench. The
increase will be quite abrupt. At this point,
stop and install the lock screws.

Tailstock Lock
Bearing Preload
When pushed toward the spindle, the tailstock lock
holds the tailstock firmly in place on the bedway
with a locking plate underneath. If the position of
the lock lever is difficult to use, the lever can be
adjusted for the best leverage.
This lathe is shipped from the factory with the
spindle bearing preload set. If the spindle ever

NOTICE
For the next step, DO NOT strike the wooden block with excessive force. If you do,
you can cause the tapered roller bearings
to indent the mating races. If this damage occurs, one or more spindle bearings
will have to be replaced, as this damage
will generate vibration at higher spindle
speeds.
6. Since the spindle bearings may unseat eas-
ily without great force, hold a wood block
against the outboard end of the spindle, and
tap the block a few times with a three or four
pound hammer (see Figure 110). Your goal
is to slide the spindle forward just enough to
introduce spindle end-play that can be heard
or felt by hand.
Figure 110. Un-seating spindle bearings to intro-
duce spindle end-play.
7. Place a dial indicator on the cross slide and
move the carriage toward the headstock until
the contact point of the indicator touches the
spindle face (see Figure 111).
Figure 111. Dial indicator setup.
8. Move the carriage an additional 0.100" toward
the headstock, and zero the dial indicator.
-68-
Model G0709 (Mfg. Since 5/11)
9. Insert the chuck wrench into a cam socket to
prevent the spindle from turning, then tighten
the inner spanner nut until the dial indicator
needle just stops moving (see Figure 112).
While tightening the spanner nuts, rock the
spindle back and forth slightly with the cam
key to make sure the spindle tapered roller
bearings seat properly in their races.
When the dial indicator needle stops mov-
ing, there will be zero spindle end-play and
no bearing preload. It is essential that you
find this point without tightening the spanner
nut too much and inadvertently pre-load the
spindle bearings.
11. Without allowing the inner spanner nut, to
tighten any farther, tighten the outer spanner
nut against the inner nut.
Do not overtighten the outer spanner nut
because additional preload can force the
bearings even tighter against the races in the
headstock and cause the headstock to compress or crack, or the bearing may quickly
fail.
To confirm that the bearings are correctly preloaded:
1. Re-attach all removed lathe components and
prepare it for operation.
2. Install the chuck and tighten the jaws.
3. Set the spindle speed to its highest setting.
4. Connect the lathe to power and turn the lathe
spindle ON.
Figure 112. Adjusting spindle bearings.
Since it takes great effort to turn the inner
spanner nut, you may find it difficult to know if
you have gone past the zero end-play point or
not. It is easiest to have someone watch the
dial while you tighten the inner spanner nut.
If you think you may have gone past the zero
end-play point, take the time to unload the
bearings as described earlier, then re-tighten
the inner spanner nut until it has reached the
zero end play position.

5. Periodically shutting down the lathe a few
times and checking temperature, let the lathe
run for 20 minutes.
6. Turn the spindle OFF, disconnect lathe from
power, and check the temperature of the
spindle.
—If the spindle nose is slightly warm to the
touch, you have correct bearing preload.
—If the spindle nose is hotter than you
can comfortably keep your hand on, the
preload is too tight and you must repeat
the bearing preload adjustment procedure.
When repeating the procedure, rotate the
inner spanner nut a little less during Step 10 in the preceding instructions.

Gap Insert Removal
& Installation
This lathe is equipped with a removable gap
insert that will allow for turning large diameter
workpieces. The gap was seated, pre-loaded,
and then ground for precise mating and alignment
at the factory. Removing the gap can cause the
lathe insert to slightly spring out of shape. When
re-installed, there is no guarantee that original
alignment and flush mating will be the same. For
this reason, removing the gap is considered a
permanent alteration to the lathe, even if it is later
re-installed.

5. Tap the outside of the gap piece with a dead
blow hammer to loosen it, and, with the help
of another person, remove the gap piece.
To re-install the gap:
5. Install and lightly snug the four cap screws
in an order that will draw the gap closer into
alignment. Using blocks of wood and clamps
to get mating surfaces into alignment can
also be helpful.
6. When alignment and flush mating is acceptable, tighten the four cap screws in a pattern
that will maintain or improve the alignment.
1. Clean all mating surfaces completely with
mineral spirits and inspect and remove any
burrs. ALL MATING SURFACES MUST BE
ABSOLUTELY CLEAN!
2. Lightly oil a lint-free cloth with way oil, and
rub a thin film into the pores of the freshly
cleaned gap surfaces. Next, place the gap in
position on the lathe bed.
3. Back off the threaded dowel pin jam nuts until
they are flush with the end of the pins, and
drop the pins into the pin holes in the gap.
4. Jostle the gap closer to its final alignment
until the pins seat naturally.
7. Wait 24 hours, and check for quality of mating. If unacceptable, use clamps and blocks
of wood, and loosen and tighten the appropriate cap screws to draw-in and release certain
areas of the gap to achieve the required
alignment.
8. When satisfied with the alignment, tap the
dowel pins the rest of the way into the gap
until they are in a fully seated position, and
thread the jack nuts down until they just contact the gap.

for amount of brake wear measure from the following locations:
• If riveted linings are used, the measurement is
taken from the rivet heads to the lining surface
as viewed from the brake pad surface.
• If bonded linings are used, the measurement
is taken from the metal shoe surface to the
surface of the lining as viewed from the side
of the brake shoe.
When inspecting the drum, if the drum pulley is
bell-mouthd, cracked, or shows deep groves,
replace it. For minor scoring, the drum pulley can
be dressed with sandpaper or turned on a lathe.
5. Step off the brake pedal and remove the pulley. Figure 117 shows the pulley removed

Machine Storage
To prepare your machine for long-term storage (a year or more):
If the machine is not properly prepared for storage, it may develop rust or corrosion. Use the
recommendations in this section to ensure that
the lathe remains in good condition for later use.
To prepare your machine for short-term storage (up to a year):
1. Pump out the old cutting fluid, and remove
and blow out lines with compressed air and a
few drops of way oil.
2. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
3. Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal
surfaces, then apply a liberal coat of way oil.
4. Lubricate the machine as outlined in the lubrication section. Be sure to use the oil gun to
purge all ball oilers and the oil passages with
oil.
5. Cover and place the machine in a dry area
that is out of direct sunlight and away from
hazardous fumes, paint, solvents, or gas.
Fumes and sunlight can bleach or discolor
paint and make plastic guards cloudy.
6. Once or twice a month, depending on the
ambient humidity levels in the storage environment, wipe down the machine as outlined
in Step 3. Slide the carriage, tailstock, and
steady rest down the lathe bed to make sure
that way spotting is not beginning to occur.
7. Every few months, manually rotate all geardriven components a few times in several
gear selections. This will keep the bearings,
bushings, gears, and shafts well lubricated
and protected from corrosion, especially during the winter months.
1. Run the lathe and bring all gearboxes to
operating temperature, then drain and refill
the all gearboxes with fresh oil.
2. Pump out the old cutting fluid, remove the
lines, add a few drops of way oil into the lines,
and blow out the lines with compressed air.
3. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
4. Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal
surfaces, then apply a liberal coat of way oil,
a heavy grease, or rust preventative. Take
care to ensure these surfaces are completely
covered but that the rust preventative or
grease is kept off of painted surfaces.
5. Lubricate the machine as outlined in the lubrication section. Be sure to use the oil gun to
purge all ball oilers and the oil passages with
oil.
6. Loosen or remove machine belts so they
do not become stretched during the storage
period. (Be sure to also affix a maintenance
note near the power button as a reminder that
the belts have been loosened or removed.)
7. Place a few moisture-absorbing desiccant
bags inside of the electrical box.
8. Cover and place the machine in a dry area
that is out of direct sunlight and away from
hazardous fumes, paint, solvents, or gas.
Fumes and sunlight can bleach or discolor
paint and make plastic guards cloudy.
9. Slide the carriage, micrometer stop, tailstock,
and steady rest down the lathe bed to make
sure that way spotting is not beginning to
occur.

MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in
these diagrams is current at the time of printing
but may not match your machine. If you find this
to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the
motor junction box.
CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors
and power inverters store an electrical charge for
up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from
the power source. To reduce the risk of being
shocked, wait at least this long before working on
capacitors.
