Machine Description

The Model G0746 is a 20" x 60" lathe. The Model G0749 is a 16" x 40" lathe. The main difference between the two models is the G0746 has a larger spindle bore, swing over bed, and distance between centers than the G0749.
The Models G0746 and G0749 feature thick cast­ings and super heavy-duty construction, making them extremely rigid and solid. We equipped both models with a 10 HP, 220V, 3-phase spindle motor, massive tailstock, steady rest, and follow rest—ensuring these lathes are a reliable work­horse in demanding machine shops that turn big and heavy workpieces.

Control Panel Safety Foot Brake

This lathe is equipped with a foot brake (see Figure 9) to quickly stop the spindle instead of allowing the spindle to coast to a stop on its own.
Z
AC
AB
AA
Pushing the foot brake while the spindle is ON cuts power to the motor and stops the spindle. After the foot brake is used, the spindle lever must be returned to the OFF (middle) position to reset the spindle switches before re-starting spindle rotation.
Figure 7. Control panel.
Z. Coolant Pump Switch: Controls coolant
pump motor.
AA. EMERGENCY STOP Button: Stops all
machine functions. Twist clockwise to reset.
AB. Power Lamp: Illuminates when main power
switch is turned ON and EMERGENCY STOP button is reset.
AC. Jog/Inching Button: Powers forward spindle
rotation as long as it is pressed.

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 G0746/G0749 (Mfg. Since 3/13)

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.)

Model G0746/G0749 (Mfg. Since 3/13)

Connection Type

A permanently connected (hardwired) power sup­ply is typically installed with wires running through mounted and secured conduit. A disconnecting means, such as a locking switch (see following figure), must be provided to allow the machine to be disconnected (isolated) from the power supply when required. This installation must be performed by an electrician in accordance with all applicable electrical codes and ordinances.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. A permanently connected machine must be connected to a grounded metal permanent wir ing system; or to a system having an equipment­grounding conductor. All grounds must be verified and rated for the electrical requirements of the machine. Improper grounding can increase the risk of electric shock!
Since this machine must be permanently con­nected to the power supply, an extension cord cannot be used.

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.

Use Blocks to Space Straps Away from Control Rod, Feed Rod, Leadscrew & Prevent Bending During Lifting

Lifting & Placing

HEAVY LIF T! Straining or crushing injury may occur from improperly lifting machine or some of its parts. To reduce this risk, get help from other people and use a fork lift (or other lifting equipment) rated for weight of this machine.
Do not attempt to lift or move this lathe without using the proper lifting equipment (such as forklift or crane) or the necessary assistance from other people. Each piece of lifting equipment must be rated for at least 6800 lbs to support dynamic loads that may be applied while lifting. Refer to
Needed for Setup on Page 20 for details.
6. Insert round steel bar stock through the four
lifting holes (see Figure 16).
Note: To properly support the lathe and
avoid damaging lathe components, bar stock should be at least 1" diameter thick and 49" long, so it projects 14" from both sides of the lathe when installed.

Equipment
Rear Lifting Strap
Front Lifting Strap
Bar Stock
To lift and move the lathe:
1. Remove the shipping crate top and sides,
then remove the small components from the shipping pallet.
2. Move the lathe to its prepared location while it is still attached to the shipping pallet.
3. Unbolt the lathe from the shipping pallet.
4. To balance the load for lifting, move the
tailstock and carriage to the extreme right end of the bedway, then lock them in place.
Note: Before attempting to move the car-
riage, make sure the carriage lock is loose, the half nut is disengaged, and the power feed is disengaged (feed selection lever).
5. Remove the splash guard so it does not get damaged when the lathe is raised.
Figure 16. Example of lathe setup for lifting.
7. Attach the lifting straps to the bar stock and
the power lifting equipment (see Figure 16). Make sure there is enough space between the straps and the control rod, feed rod, leadscrew and electrical cabinet to prevent putting pressure on these components when lifting.
8. Raise the lathe a couple of inches and check the balance of the load. Have two other peo­ple carefully steady the lathe to help prevent it from swinging.
— If the load is not safely balanced, immedi-
ately lower the lathe and resolve the issue before attempting to lift it again.
9. Raise the lathe enough to clear the shipping pallet and carefully remove the pallet.
— If you plan to use the included leveling
bolts and hex nuts to level the lathe, install them now.

Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur during operation, resulting in a machine that 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.

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

Anchoring to Concrete Floors

operation.
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.

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.
See the figure below for an example of a high precision level offered by Grizzly.

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 a qualified service personnel to ensure a safe power connection.
The headstock, gearbox, and apron oil reservoirs must have the proper amount of oil in them before the lathe can be operated.
Damage caused to the bearings and gears from running the lathe without oil in the reservoirs will not be covered under warranty. Refer to the Lubrication section, beginning on Page 67, for checking and adding oil.
In addition to the reservoirs, we also recommend that you lubricate all other points on the machine at this time. To do this, follow the steps provided in the maintenance schedule on Page 66.
Note: If this lathe was shipped with oil in the res- ervoirs, do not change that oil until after the Test Run and Spindle Break-In procedures.

Adding Coolant

Add the coolant of your choice now. For detailed instructions on where the coolant tank is located and how to add fluid, refer to Coolant System Service on Page 72.
Before the machine can be connected to the power source, an electrical circuit and connection device must be prepared according to the circuit requirements on the Page 18, and the machine must be completely setup and installed in its per­manent location.
Once the lathe is connected to the power supply, the disconnect switch that is installed by the elec­trician (as recommended) is the primary means for disconnecting or connecting the machine to the power source.
Note About Phase Converters: Due to the startup load from this machine, we do not recom­mend using a static phase converter to create 3-phase power—as it can quickly decrease the life of electrical components on this machine. If you must use a phase converter, only use a rotary phase converter. Only connect the manufactured leg or "wild wire" to the L3 terminal (see loca­tion in Figure 24 on Page 28). The L3 terminal can handle power fluctuation because it is wired directly to the motor.

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.

Chuck & Plate
This lathe is equipped with a D1-type spindle nose. This type of spindle uses camlocks that are adjusted with a chuck key to securely mount a chuck or faceplate with repeatable precision and ease.
This lathe ships with the 3-jaw chuck installed. This is a scroll-type chuck where all three jaws move in unison when the chuck key is used.
The included 4-jaw chuck features independent jaws, which are used for square or unevenly­shaped stock, and to mount work that needs to be adjusted to near zero total indicated runout.
The included faceplate has slots for T-bolts that hold standard or custom clamping hardware. With the correct clamping hardware, a faceplate offers a wide range of uses, including machining non­concentric workpieces, straight turning between centers, off-center turning, and boring.
3. Install a cap screw in the hole next to each

in the following sec­tion). It can also be used to hold a drill or chuck to bore holes in the center of a part. Custom arbors and tapers can also be cut on your lathe by using the offset tailstock adjustment.

A carbide-tipped dead center (not included) can better withstand the effects of friction than a typi­cal dead center and is best used in the tailstock where the workpiece will rotate against it. The tip of a dead center must be generously lubricated during the operation to avoid premature wear and maximize smooth operation. Using low spindle speeds will also reduce the heat and wear from friction.
Use the dead center in the spindle for operations where the workpiece rotates with the center and does not generate friction.

To remove the sleeve and center from the spindle, insert a piece of round bar stock (or similar) through the outside end of the spindle. Have another person hold onto the sleeve and center with a gloved hand or shop rag, then tap the bar stock to knock the sleeve loose.
Either a carbide-tipped dead center or live center can be used in the tailstock. Mounting instructions are the same for both. The

Spindle Speed

Using the correct spindle speed is important for getting 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 operation, 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 70.

Setting Spindle Speed

The spindle range lever and spindle speed lever, shown in Figure 71, are used to select one of the 15 spindle speeds.

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. These sources will help you take into account the applicable variables in order to deter­mine the best spindle speed for the operation.
To avoid damaging gears, ALWAYS make sure the spindle is completely stopped BEFORE moving the spindle speed levers.

Note: If the spindle speed levers do not easily
adjust into position, rotate the spindle by hand while you apply pressure to the lever. When the gears align, the lever will easily move into place. If you have trouble rotating the spindle by hand, you can use the spindle key or a chuck key to get additional leverage—be sure to remove the key when you are done.

Both the carriage and cross slide have power feed capability when the carriage is engaged with the feed rod. The rate that these components move per revolution of the feed rod is controlled by the quick-change gearbox lever and dial positions and the end gear configuration.
The feed per revolution and the spindle speed must be considered together—this is the feed rate. The sources you use to determine the opti­mum spindle speed for an operation will also provide the optimal feed to use with that spindle speed.
Often, the experienced machinist will use the feeds and speeds given in their reference charts or web calculators as a starting point, then make minor adjustments to the feed rate (and some­times spindle speed) to achieve the best results.
The carriage can alternately be driven by the leadscrew for threading operations. However, this section only covers the use of the power feed option for the carriage and cross slide compo­nents for non-threading operations. To learn how to power the carriage for threading operations, refer to Threading on Page 57.

Chip Drawer

The chip drawer catches swarf and metal chips during the machining process. It contains a screen that keeps the large chips from returning to the reservoir with the run-off coolant—this pre­vents the chips from causing pump damage.
Also, it slides open and is removable for cleaning (see Figure 102).
The chip drawer is very heavy. Unless removing the chip drawer for cleaning, do not pull it out more than halfway to prevent it falling and causing impact injuries. If removing the drawer for cleaning, get assistance!

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious person­al injury.

Schedule

Ongoing

To maintain a low risk of injury and proper machine operation, if you ever observe any of the items below, shut down the machine immediately and fix the problem before continuing operations:
Loose mounting bolts or fasteners.
Worn, frayed, cracked, or damaged wires.
Guards or covers removed.
EMERGENCY STOP button not working cor­rectly or not requiring you to reset it before starting the machine again.
Oil level not visible in the sight glasses.
Damaged or malfunctioning components.

Daily, After Operations

Press the EMERGENCY STOP button (to prevent accidental startup).
Vacuum/clean all chips and swarf from bed, slides.
Wipe down all unpainted or machined sur­faces with an oiled rag.

Every 50 Hours

Lubricate end gears (Page 71).

Every 1000 Operating Hours

Change the headstock oil (Page 67).
Change the gearbox oil (Page 68).
Change the apron oil (Page 69).

Annually

Check/level bedway (Page 27).

Cleaning/Protecting

Because of its importance, we recommend that the cleaning routine be planned into the workflow schedule.

Daily, Before Operations

Check/add headstock oil (Page 67).
Check/add gearbox oil (Page 68).
Check/add apron oil (Page 69).
Lubricate the bedways (Page 69).
Add oil to the ball oilers (Page 70).
Clean/lubricate the leadscrew (Page 69).
Disengage the feed lever and feed selection lever on the apron (to prevent crashes upon startup).
Ensure carriage lock bolt is loose.
-66-
Typically, the easiest way to clean swarf from the machine is to use a wet/dry shop vacuum that is dedicated for this purpose. The small chips left over after vacuuming can be wiped up with a slightly oiled rag. Avoid using compressed air to blow off chips, as this may drive them deeper into the moving surfaces or cause sharp chips to fly into your face or hands.
All unpainted and machined surfaces should be wiped down daily to keep them rust free and in top condition. This includes any surface that is vulnerable to rust if left unprotected (especially parts that are exposed to water soluble cutting fluid). Use a quality ISO 68 way oil (see Page 64 for offerings from Grizzly) to prevent corrosion.
Model G0746/G0749 (Mfg. Since 3/13)

Lubrication

Use the information in the charts below as a daily guide for lubrication tasks. We recommend using Grizzly T23962 (ISO 68) or T23963 (ISO 32) lubri­cants (see Accessories, Page 64) for most of the lubrication tasks.
NOTICE
The recommended lubrication is based on light-to-medium usage. Keeping in mind that lubrication helps to protect the value and operation of the lathe, these lubrication tasks may need to be performed more fre­quently than recommended here, depend­ing on usage.

Changing Oil & Flushing Reservoir
Small metal particles may accumulate at the bot­tom of the reservoir with normal use. Therefore, to keep the reservoir clean, drain and flush it after the first 300 hours, then after every 1000 hours.
Place a catch pan under the apron drain plug shown in Figure 115, then use a 13mm wrench to remove the fill plug and drain plug, then empty the reservoir.
Figure 116. Location of one-shot oiler on the
apron.
To use the one-shot oiler, pull the pump lever six times. The pump draws oil from the apron reser­voir and then forces it through drilled passages in the carriage and onto the bedways.
Repeat this process while moving the carriage through its full range of movement to distribute oil along the bedways.
Lubricate the bedways before and after operating the lathe. If the lathe is in a moist or dirty environ­ment, increase the lubrication interval.
Check the apron oil level through the sight glass before using the one-shot oiler to make sure the reservoir has enough oil.

Before lubricating the leadscrew (see Figure
116), clean it first with mineral spirits. A stiff brush
works well to help clean out the threads. Make sure to move the carriage out of the way, so you can clean the entire length of the leadscrew.
Apply a thin coat of oil along the length of the leadscrew. Use a stiff brush to make sure the oil is applied evenly and down into the threads.
Note: In some environments, abrasive material can become caught in the leadscrew lubricant and drawn into the half nut. In this case, lubricate the leadscrew with a quality dry lubricant.

This lathe has 11 ball oilers that should be oiled on a daily basis before beginning operation. Refer to Figures 117121 for their locations.
Ball Oilers
Proper lubrication of ball oilers is done with a pump-type oil can that has a plastic or rubber­ized cone tip. We do not recommend using metal needle or lance tips, as they can push the ball too far into the oiler, break the spring seat, and lodge the ball in the oil galley.
Lubricate the ball oilers before and after machine use, and more frequently under heavy use. When lubricating ball oilers, first clean the outside sur­face to remove any dust or grime. Push the rub­ber or plastic tip of the oil can nozzle against the ball oiler to create a hydraulic seal, then pump the oil can once or twice. If you see sludge and con­taminants coming out of the lubrication area, keep pumping the oil can until the oil runs clear. When finished, wipe away any excess oil.

End Gears

Grease Type ........ T23964 or NLGI#2 Equivalent
Lubrication ................. Every 50 Operating Hours
The end gears, shown in Figure 122, should always have a thin coat of heavy grease to minimize corrosion, noise, and wear. Wipe away excess grease that could be thrown onto the V-belts and reduce optimal power transmission from the motor.
Figure 122. End gears.
Lubricating
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Open the end-gear cover and remove all the end gears shown in Figure 122.
3. Clean the end gears thoroughly with mineral
spirits to remove the old grease. Use a small brush if necessary to clean between the teeth.
4. Clean the shafts, and wipe away any grease splatters in the vicinity and on the inside of the end-gear cover.
5. Using a clean brush, apply a thin layer of grease on the gears. Make sure to get grease between the gear teeth, but do not fill the teeth valleys.
6. Install the end gears and mesh them together with an approximate 0.002"–0.004" backlash. Once the gears are meshed together, apply a small dab of grease between them where they mesh together—this grease will be dis­tributed when the gears rotate and re-coat any areas scraped off during installation.
Handling & Care
Make sure to clean and lubricate any gears you install or change. Be very careful during handling and storage—the grease coating on the gears will easily pickup dirt or debris, which can then spread to the other gears and increase the rate of wear.
Make sure the end-gear cover remains closed whenever possible to keep the gears free of dust or debris from the outside environment.
7. Close the end-gear cover before re-connect­ing the lathe to power.

Coolant System
Service
The coolant system consists of a fluid tank, pump, and flexible nozzle. The pump pulls fluid from the tank and sends it to the valve, which controls the flow of coolant to the nozzle. As the fluid leaves the work area, it drains back into the tank through the chip drawer where the swarf is screened out.
Although most swarf from machining operations is screened out of the coolant before it returns to the tank, small particles will accumulate in the bottom of the tank in the form of sludge. To prevent this sludge from being pulled into the pump and dam­aging it, the pump’s intake is positioned a couple inches from the bottom of the tank. This works well when the tank is regularly cleaned; how­ever, if too much sludge is allowed to accumulate before the tank is cleaned, the pump will inevitably begin sucking it up.
Use Figures 123–124 to identify the locations of the coolant system controls and components.

Hazards

As coolant ages and gets used, dangerous microbes can proliferate and create a biological hazard. The risk of exposure to this hazard can be greatly reduced by replacing the old fluid on a monthly basis, or as indicated by the fluid manu­facturer.
The important thing to keep in mind when work­ing with the coolant is to minimize exposure to your skin, eyes, and lungs by wearing the proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), such as long-sleeve waterproof gloves, protective clothing, splash-resistant safety goggles, and a NIOSH­approved respirator.
BIOLOGICAL & POISON
HAZARD! Use the correct person­al protection equipment when handling coolant. Follow federal, state, and fluid manufacturer requirements for proper disposal.

1. Position the coolant nozzle over the back of the back splash so that it is pointing behind the lathe.
2. Place the 5-gallon bucket behind the lathe and under the coolant nozzle. Have another person hold the bucket up to the nozzle to prevent coolant from splashing out.
3. Turn the coolant pump ON and pump the old fluid out of the reservoir. Turn the pump OFF immediately after the fluid stops flowing.
Running the coolant pump longer than necessary for this procedure without adequate fluid in the tank may permanently damage it, which will not be covered under warranty.
4. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
5. Remove the access cover from the side of
the right stand, then slide the tank out.
3. Pour coolant into the tank until it is approxi­mately 1" from the top.
4. Slide the tank back into the cabinet and replace the access cover.

Changing Coolant

When you replace the old coolant, take the time to thoroughly clean out the chip drawer and fluid tank. The entire job only takes about a when you are prepared with the proper materi­als and tools. Make sure to dispose of old fluid according to federal, state, and fluid manufac­turer's requirements.

Note: The fluid hose, pump cord, and ground
wire (see Figure 125) were purposely left long, so the tank can be removed and dumped out without disconnecting them from the tank. However, the drain tube (see Figure 124 on Page 72) may come out of the tank when you empty it.
6. Pour the remaining coolant into the 5-gallon bucket and close the lid.
7. Clean all the sludge out of the bottom of the tank and then flush it clean. Use the second bucket to hold the waste and make sure to seal the lid closed when done.
Dispose of the old coolant and swarf accord-
ing to federal, state, and fluid manufacturer's requirements.

8. Slide the tank partially into the base and insert the drain tube into the tank if it came out earlier.
Tip: Leave one or more magnets at the bot-
tom of the tank to collect metal chips and make cleanup easier next time. This will also help keep small metal chips out of the pump.
9. Refill the tank with new coolant, then slide it completely into the base.
10. Replace the access cover panel.
5. Lubricate the machine as outlined in the
lubrication section. Be sure to use an oil can to purge all ball oilers and oil passages with fresh oil.
6. Loosen or remove the V-belts so they do not become stretched during the storage period. (Be sure to place 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 packs inside of the electrical box.
11. Re-connect the lathe to power and point the nozzle into the chip drawer.
12. Reset the EMERGENCY STOP button.
13. Turn the coolant pump ON to verify that fluid
cycles properly, then turn it OFF.

Machine Storage

To prevent the development of rust and corrosion, the lathe must be properly prepared if it will be stored for a long period of time. Doing this will ensure the lathe remains in good condition for later use.

Preparing Lathe for Storage

1. Run the lathe and bring all reservoirs to oper-
ating temperature, then drain and refill them with clean oil.
2. Pump out the old coolant, then add a few drops of way oil and blow out the lines with compressed air.
8. Cover the lathe and place it 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.
9. Every few months, rotate by hand 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.
Slide the carriage, micrometer stop, tailstock,
and steady rest down the lathe bed to make sure that way spotting is not beginning to occur.

Bringing Lathe Out of Storage

1. Re-install the V-belts and re-tension them
(refer to Page 81) if you removed them for storage purposes.
2. Remove the moisture-absorbing desiccant packs from the electrical box.
3. Repeat the Test Run and Spindle Break-In procedures, beginning on Page 31.
3. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
4. Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal
surfaces, then apply a liberal coat of way oil, 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.

Backlash Adjustment

Backlash is the amount of free play felt while changing rotation directions with the handwheel. This can be adjusted on the compound rest and cross slide leadscrews. Before beginning any adjustment, make sure all associated components are cleaned and lubricated and locks are loose.
To adjust the backlash, rock the handwheel back and forth, and tighten the cap screw slowly until the backlash is approximately 0.002"–0.003", as indicated on the graduated dial.
If you end up adjusting the nut too tight, loosen the cap screw, tap the compound rest a few times with a rubber or wooden mallet, and turn the handwheel slowly back and forth until it moves freely—then try again.
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.
Reducing backlash to less than 0.002" is impractical and can lead to accelerated wear of the wedge, nut, and leadscrew. Avoid the temptation to overtighten the backlash set screw while adjusting.

Compound Rest

Tools Needed: Qty
Hex Wrench 5mm .............................................. 1
The compound rest backlash is adjusted by tightening the cap screw shown in Figure 126. When the cap screw is tightened, the leadscrew nut draws down on the leadscrew, removing play between these components.

Cross Slide

Tools Needed: Qty
Hex Wrench 6mm ............................................. 1
The cross slide backlash is adjusted by loosening the cap screw shown in Figure 127. This will push the leadscrew nut against the leadscrew, taking up lash between these components.

Gib AdjustmentLeadscrew End-Play

The goal of adjusting the gib screws is to remove sloppiness or "play" from the ways without over­adjusting them to the point where they become stiff and difficult to move.
In general, loose gibs cause poor finishes and tool chatter; however, over-tightened gibs cause premature wear and make it difficult to turn the handwheels.
To remove leadscrew end play:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER.
2. Loosen the outer spanner nut (see Figure
128).
Inner Spanner Nut
Leadscrew
Outer Spanner Nut
Figure 128. Leadscrew and spanner nuts.
3. Place a dial indicator on the end of the
leadscrew.
4. Rotate the carriage handwheel to move the carriage toward the tailstock, then tighten the inner spanner nut (see Figure 128) until there is 0.001"–0.002" of end play.
5. Tighten the outer spanner nut until it is snug against the inner spanner nut to secure the setting.
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. A gib screw at one end moves the gib. Depending upon which direction the gib moves, the space between the sliding ways increases or decreases to control the rigidity of the cross slide and compound slide.
Before adjusting the gibs, loosen the locks for the devices so the gibs can slide freely during adjust­ment, then lubricate the ways.
The gib adjustment process usually requires some trial-and-error. Repeat the process as nec­essary until you find the best balance between loose and stiff movement. Most machinists find that the ideal gib adjustment is one where a small amount of drag or resistance is present, yet the handwheels are still easy to move.

Brake & Switch

As the brake lining wears, the foot pedal develops more travel. If the brake band is not adjusted to compensate for normal wear, the limit switch will still turn the lathe OFF, but the spindle will not stop as quickly. It is especially important that the brake is kept properly adjusted so you can quickly stop the spindle in an emergency.

2. Tighten the two pre-load bolts so they no lon­ger contact the headstock.
6. Mount a dial indicator with a magnetic base to the top of the saddle to indicate alignment.
3. Use a slide hammer to remove the two dowel pins from the gap insert.
4. Tap the outside of the gap insert with a dead blow hammer to loosen it, then remove it.

Gap Installation

1. Use mineral spirits and a clean lint-free rag
to clean the mating surfaces of the gap, bed, and ways. If necessary, stone the mating sur­faces to remove scratches, dings, or burrs.
2. Wipe a thin layer of light machine oil on the mating surfaces.
3. Place the gap insert into the gap and use a dead-blow hammer to align the insert with the lathe bed.
4. Lightly tap the dowel pins back into their respective holes until they are seated. This process will further help align the gap insert and bed mating surfaces.
7. First test the peak of the two prisms of the gap insert that the saddle rides on, then test the flanks of the prisms.
8. Alternately tighten the gap bed cap screws and tap the side of the gap insert into alignment.
9. Inspect the gap alignment 24 hours later to make sure the gap is still aligned. If neces­sary, loosen the gap bed cap screws and repeat Steps 7–8 until the insert is properly aligned.
10. Loosen the preload bolts until they contact the headstock and resistance can be felt,
3
then tighten them an additional
4-turn.
5. Install all fasteners and lightly snug them in place.

Wiring Safety Instructions

SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is con­nected to a power source is extremely dangerous. Touching electrified parts will result in personal injury including but not limited to severe burns, electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power from the machine before servicing electrical com­ponents!
MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpre­dictable results, including serious injury or fire. This includes the installation of unapproved after­market parts.
WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must be tight to prevent wires from loosening during machine operation. Double-check all wires dis­connected or connected during any wiring task to ensure tight connections.
CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow the requirements at the beginning of this man­ual when connecting your machine to a power source.
WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires or components increase the risk of serious per­sonal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice that any wires or components are damaged while performing a wiring task, replace those wires or components.
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.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are expe­riencing difficulties understanding the information included in this section, contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.
