End Gears
Safety Foot Brake
This lathe is equipped with a foot brake
(see Figure 7) to quickly stop the spindle instead
of allowing it to coast to a stop on its own. 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.

Additional Safety for Metal Lathes
Serious injury or death can occur from getting entangled in, crushed between, or struck by
rotating parts on a lathe! Unsecured tools or workpieces that fly loose from rotating objects
can also strike nearby operators with deadly force. To minimize the risk of getting hurt or killed,
anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.
CLOTHING, JEWELRY & LONG HAIR. Tie back
long hair, remove jewelry, and do not wear loose
clothing or gloves. These can easily get caught on
rotating parts and pull you into lathe.
ROTATING PA R TS. Always keep hands and body
at a safe distance from rotating parts—especially
those with projecting surfaces. Never hold anything against rotating workpiece, such as emery
cloth, that can pull you into lathe.
GUARDING. Guards and covers protect against
entanglement or flying objects. Always ensure they
are properly installed while machine is running.
ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Remove all chuck keys,
wrenches, and adjustment tools before turning
lathe ON. A tool left on the lathe can become a
deadly projectile when spindle is started.
SAFE CLEARANCES. Before starting spindle,
verify workpiece has adequate clearance by handrotating it through its entire range of motion.
NEW SETUPS. Test each new setup by starting
spindle rotation at the lowest speed and standing
to the side of the lathe until workpiece reaches full
speed and you can verify safe rotation.
SPINDLE SPEEDS. Using spindle speeds that are
too fast for the workpiece or clamping equipment
can cause rotating parts to come loose and strike
nearby people with deadly force. Always use slow
spindle speeds with large or non-concentric workpieces. Never exceed rated RPM of the chuck.
LONG STOCK SAFETY. Long stock can whip
violently if not properly supported. Always support
any stock that extends from the chuck/headstock
more than three times its own diameter.
CLEARING CHIPS. Metal chips can be razor
sharp. Avoid clearing them by hand or with a rag.
Use a brush or vacuum instead.
SECURE WORKPIECE. An improperly secured
workpiece can fly off spindle with deadly force.
Make sure workpiece is properly secured before
starting the lathe.
CHUCKS. Chucks can be heavy and difficult to
hold. During installation and removal, protect your
hands and precision bed ways by using a chuck
cradle or piece of plywood over the bed ways. Use
lifting equipment, as necessary, for large chucks.
STOPPING SPINDLE. Always allow spindle to
completely stop on its own, or use a brake, if
provided. Never put hands or another object on a
spinning workpiece to make it stop faster.
CRASHING. A serious explosion of metal parts
can occur if cutting tool or other lathe component
hits rotating chuck or a projecting part of workpiece. Resulting metal fragments can strike nearby
people and lathe will be seriously damaged. To
reduce risk of crashing, ALWAYS release automatic feeds after use, NEVER leave lathe unattended,
and CHECK all clearances before starting lathe.
COOLANT SAFETY. Coolant can become very
toxic through prolonged use and aging. To minimize toxicity, change coolant regularly. When
using, position nozzle properly to avoid splashing
operator or causing a slipping hazard on floor.
TOOL SELECTION. Cutting with incorrect or dull
tooling increases risk of injury from broken or dislodged components, or as a result of extra force
required for operation. Always use sharp tooling
that is right for the job.
SANDING/POLISHING. To reduce risk of entanglement, never wrap emery cloth around rotating
workpiece. Instead, use emery cloth with the aid
of a tool or backing board.
MEASURING WORKPIECE. To reduce risk of
entanglement, never measure rotating workpieces.
-12-
Model G0824 (Mfd. Since 12/16)
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 electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to 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 specified circuit requirements.
For your own safety and protection of
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:
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.)

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.
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).
No adapter should be used with plug. If
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine.
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
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
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
There are many ways to remove this rust preventative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
• Disposable rags
• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)
• Safety glasses & disposable gloves
• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

its parts. To reduce this risk,
get help from other people
and use a forklift (or other
lifting equipment) rated for
weight of this machine.
6. Insert round steel bar stock through four lift-
ing holes (see Figure 17).
Note: To properly support the lathe and
avoid damaging lathe components, bar stock
should be at least 1
long, so it projects 14" from both sides of the
lathe when installed.
1
⁄4" diameter thick and 44"
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 2000 lbs. to support dynamic
loads that may be applied while lifting. Refer to
Needed for Setup on Page 16 for details.
To lift and move lathe:
1. Remove shipping crate top and sides, then
remove small components from shipping

Anchoring to Floor
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.

Leveling
Lubricating Lathe
For accurate turning results and to prevent
warping or twisting of cast iron bed and
ways, lathe bedways MUST be leveled from
side to 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.
If needed, use metal shims between the lathe bed
and chip pan when leveling the machine.
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.
GEARBOXES MUST
BE FILLED WITH OIL!
LATHE MAY NOT
HAVE OIL INCLUDED!
Refer to the Lubrication
Section in this Manual
for Recommended
Oil Type.
The headstock, quick-change 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 64, 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 63.
See the figure below for an example of a high
precision level offered by Grizzly.
Figure 21. Model H2683 Master Machinist's
Level.
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 69.

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.
Before the machine can be connected to the
power supply, there must be an electrical circuit
that meets the Circuit Requirements for 220V

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.

Chuck Safety &
Because chucks are heavy and often awkward
to hold, some kind of lifting, support, or protective device should be used during installation or
removal. The weight and size of the chuck will
determine the appropriate device to use (refer to
the following figure for examples).

To ensure accurate work, it is extremely important
to make sure the spindle nose and chuck mating
surfaces/tapers are clean. Even a small amount of
lint or debris can affect accuracy.
The chuck is properly installed when all camlocks
are tight, the spindle and chuck tapers firmly
lock together, and the back of the chuck is firmly
seated against the face of the spindle all the way
around—without any gaps.

Machining non-concentric workpieces at
high speeds could cause the workpiece to
be thrown from the lathe with deadly force.
To reduce this risk, only machine nonconcentric workpieces at low speeds and
clamp counter-weights to the faceplate to
balance it.
Failure to properly secure a workpiece to
the faceplate could cause the workpiece
to be thrown from the lathe with deadly
force. To reduce this risk, use a minimum
of THREE independent clamping devices to

The tailstock (see Figure 39) is typically used to
support long workpieces by means of a live or
dead center (refer to Centers on Page 39 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.
Also, a torque wrench can be used with the
tailstock for repeating super-accurate vertical
alignment.

The tailstock quill can be offset from the spindle
centerline for turning tapers. Offsetting the quill
toward the front of the lathe results in a taper at
the tailstock end. Conversely, offsetting the quill
toward the back of the lathe results in a taper at
the spindle end.

steel shims underneath it. The shims should be
as long and as wide as the cutting tool to properly
support it.
Below are two common methods:

and use a fine ruler to measure the distance
from the surface of the cross slide to the tip
of the center. Adjust the cutting tool height so
it is the same distance above the cross slide
as the tailstock center.
• Align the tip of the cutting tool with a tailstock
center, as described in the following procedure. For this to work, the tailstock must
be aligned to the spindle centerline (refer to
Aligning Tailstock To Spindle Centerline
on Page 38 for detailed instructions).

Spindle Spider
This lathe is equipped with a set of outboard
spindle supports otherwise known as a "spider"
(see Figure 62).
1. Mount cutting tool and secure post so tool
faces tailstock.
2. Install a center in tailstock, and position tip
near cutting tool.
3. Lock tailstock and quill in place.
4. Adjust height of cutting tool tip to meet center tip, as shown in Figure 61.

The spider is especially designed for supporting
gun barrels during chambering operations; however, it is a great support option for almost any
long workpiece that extends through the outboard
side of the spindle.
The tips of the spider screws have brass wear
pads that hold the workpiece without causing
indents in the finish.
When spider screws are installed, always use the
jam nuts to lock each spider screw in position.
Merely tightening the spider screws against the
workpiece and leaving the jam nuts loose is not
safe. Spiders screws that loosen during operation
can crash into the lathe end cover.

0.200" (5.08mm).
Compound Rest Handwheel
The compound rest handwheel moves the cutting
tool linearly along the set angle of the compound
rest. The compound rest angle is set by handrotating it and securing in place with two hex nuts.
The compound rest has an indirect-read graduated dial with 0.001" (0.02mm) increments. One
full revolution of the handwheel moves the slide
0.100" (2.54mm).

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 64.
*Recommended
Cutting Speed (FPM) x 12

Figure 64. 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. 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.
The chart below shows the various combinations
of lever positions for achieving a desired speed.

460 RPM.
Note: If the spindle speed levers do not easily
adjust into position, rotate the spindle by hand
while you apply pressure to the levers. When the
gears align, the levers 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—just be sure to remove the
key when you are done.

Power Feed
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 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 54.
If the feed selection lever and the half nut
are engaged at the same time, machine
damage could occur. Even though there is
a lock-out device to prevent this, it could
break if forced.

In the middle position, the apron gears are
disengaged from the feed rod and neither
component will move.
A. Feed Direction Dial: Selects the direction of
carriage travel for power feed relative to the
rotation direction of the spindle. When the
dial is positioned as shown in Figure 68, the
carriage will move left (toward the spindle), or
the cross feed will travel toward the rear of
the lathe when the spindle is rotating counterclockwise (or toward the front of the lathe).
When the dial is positioned in the opposite
direction, the carriage will move right (toward
the tailstock), or the cross feed will travel
toward the front of the lathe when the spindle
is rotating clockwise (or toward the rear of the
lathe).

End Gears
The following subsections explain how to configure the end gears. The end gears must be configured according to the feeds/speeds and threading
charts in order to perform specific power feed or
threading operations.
In order to set these up properly according to the
configurations show on the charts, you first need
a basic understanding of the gears and positions
referenced on the charts. Use Figure 73 to identify
the upper "a" position gear, middle 120T/127T end
gears, and lower "b" position gear, also referenced
on the headstock feed and threading charts.
Inch Threading Configuration
Install an end gear corresponding to the "b" row
on the chart in the lower "b" position so it meshes
with the 127T gear. Install an end gear corresponding to the "a" row in the upper "a" position
and mesh it with the 127T gear, as shown below.
Install the 120/127T combo gear in the middle

Apron Threading Controls
The half nut lever engages the carriage with the
leadscrew, which moves the carriage and cutting
tool along the length of the workpiece for threading operations (see Figure 83).
4. Position gearbox dials as shown in Figure 82.
Figure 82. Gearbox dial settings for 18 TPI.
The lathe is now set up to cut 18 TPI threads.
Important: Make sure the feed selection lever
is in the disengaged (middle) position before
attempting to engage the half nut.
The numbers on the thread dial are used with the
thread dial chart to show when to engage the half
nut during inch threading. Loosen the cap screw
on the thread dial (see Figure 84), pivot the gear
teeth so they mesh with the leadscrew threads,
then re-tighten the cap screw.
Note: The thread dial is not used for metric
threading. You must leave the half nut engaged
from the beginning until the turning is complete for
this type of operation.
Thread Dial Chart
The thread dial chart is located on the headstock
in front of the chuck, as shown in Figure 85.

When threading, we recommend using the
slowest speed possible and avoiding deep
cuts, so you are able to disengage the half
nut when required and prevent an apron
crash!
To use the thread chart, find the TPI that you want
to cut and reference the "Scale" number(s) next to
it. The scale number(s) indicate when to engage
the half nut when cutting that TPI.
For Example: If you are cutting 13 TPI threads,
the chart shows "1, 3, 5, 7" next to the 13 (see the
shaded boxes in Figure 86).
When the first thread cutting pass is complete,
the operator disengages the carriage from the
leadscrew using the half nut lever. The operator
returns the carriage for the next pass and reengages the half nut using the same thread dial
setting to resume the cut in the previous pass.

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:
Daily, After Operations
• Press the Emergency Stop/RESET 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.
Semi-Annually
• Change the headstock oil (Page 64).
Annually
• Change the gearbox oil (Page 65).
• Change the apron oil (Page 66).
• Lubricate end gears (Page 68).
• Check/level bedway (Page 23).
• Loose mounting bolts or fasteners.
• Worn, frayed, cracked, or damaged wires.
• Guards or covers removed.
• Emergency Stop/RESET 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, Before Operations
• Check/add coolant (Page 69).
• Check/add headstock oil (Page 64).
• Check/add gearbox oil (Page 65).
• Check/add apron oil (Page 66).
• Lubricate the bedways (Page 66).
• Add oil to the ball oilers (Page 67).
• Clean/lubricate the leadscrew (Page 66).
• Disengage the feed selection lever on the
apron (to prevent crashes upon startup).
• Ensure carriage lock bolt is loose.
Cleaning/Protecting
Because of its importance, we recommend that
the cleaning routine be planned into the workflow
schedule.
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 way oil to prevent corrosion.

Lubrication
Use the information in the charts below as a daily
guide for lubrication tasks. We recommend using
Grizzly Model T23962 or T23963 lubricants (see
Page 59) for most of the lubrication tasks.
Lubrication Frequency
NOTICE
The recommended lubrication is based on
light-to-medium usage. Keeping in mind
that lubrication helps to protect the value

The headstock gearing is lubricated by an oil bath
that distributes the lubricant with the motion of the
gears, much like an automotive manual transmission. Change the oil after the first 2 hours of use,
then semi-annually.
Checking Oil Level
The headstock reservoir has the proper amount of
oil when the oil level in the sight glass is approximately halfway. The oil sight glass is located
below the chuck, as shown in Figure 106.
Check/Add Frequency ................................. Daily

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 at least
once a year.
Place a catch pan under the apron drain plug
shown in Figure 111, remove the fill plug, then
use a 6mm hex wrench to remove the drain plug
and empty the reservoir.

Before lubricating the leadscrew (see Figure 112),
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.

Flush the reservoir by pouring a small amount of
clean oil into the fill hole and allowing it to drain
out the bottom. Replace the drain plug, add oil as
previously described, then re-install the fill plug.

Ball Oilers

Oil Amount ......................................1 or 2 Squirts
Lubrication Frequency ................................. Daily
This lathe has 15 ball oilers that should be oiled
on a daily basis before beginning operation. Refer
to Figures113 –118 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)
Frequency ............... Annually or When Changing
The end gears, shown in Figure 119, 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.
Figure119. End gears.
Lubricating
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove end gear cover and all end gears shown in Figure 119.
3. Clean end gears thoroughly with mineral spir-
its to remove old grease. Use a small brush if
necessary to clean between teeth.
4. Clean shafts, and wipe away any grease
splatters in vicinity and on inside of end gear
cover.
5. Using a clean brush, apply a thin layer of
grease on gears. Make sure to get grease
between gear teeth, but do not fill teeth valleys.
6. Install end gears and mesh them together
with an approximate 0.002"–0.004" backlash.
Once gears are meshed together, apply a
small dab of grease between them where
they mesh together—this grease will be distributed when 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 installed
whenever possible to keep the gears free of dust
or debris from the outside environment.
7. Re-install end gear cover before re-connecting 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 nozzle, which controls
the flow of coolant. As the fluid leaves the work
area, it drains from the chip drawer, where the
swarf and metal chips are screened out, through
the drain chute, and back into the tank. The chip
drawer slides open and is removable for cleaning.
Use Figures 120 –121 to identify the locations of
the coolant system controls and components.
Coolant Pump Switch
Nozzle
Valve
Chip drawer is very heavy. Unless removing
chip drawer for cleaning, pull it out less
than halfway to prevent it from falling and
causing impact injuries. If removing drawer
for cleaning, get assistance!
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 several
inches from the bottom of the tank. This works
well when the tank is regularly cleaned; however,
if excess sludge is allowed to accumulate, the
pump will inevitably begin sucking it up.
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.

When working with the coolant, 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
NIOSH-approved respirator.
BIOLOGICAL & POISON

Machine Storage
7. Place a few moisture absorbing desiccant
packs inside of electrical box.
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 lathe and bring all reservoirs to operating
temperature, then drain and refill them with
clean oil.
2. Pump out old coolant, then add a few drops
of way oil and blow out lines with compressed
air.
3. DISCONNECT MACHINE 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.
5. Lubricate machine as outlined in Lubrication
on Page 64. Be sure to use an oil can to fill all
ball oilers and oil passages with fresh oil.
6. Loosen or remove V-belts so they do not
become stretched during storage period.
8. Cover 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 bearings,
bushings, gears, and shafts well lubricated
and protected from corrosion—especially
during winter months.
10. Slide carriage, tailstock, and steady rest
down lathe bed to make sure that wayspotting is not beginning to occur.
Bringing Lathe Out of Storage
1. Re-install V-belts and re-tension them (refer
to Page 79) if you removed them for storage
purposes.
2. Remove moisture absorbing desiccant packs
from the electrical box.
3. Repeat Test Run and Spindle Break-In procedures, beginning on Page 25.
4. Add coolant, as described in Coolant System
Service on Page 69.
Note: Be sure to place a maintenance note
near power button as a reminder that belts
have been loosened or removed.

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 backlash can be viewed on the handwheel
micrometer-collar graduated dial.
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.
2. Remove the cap screw that secures the cross
slide leadscrew nut (see Figure 123).

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.
NLGI#2 Grease ................................. As Needed
To remove leadscrew end-play:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER.
2. Back out leadscrew set screw approximately five turns (see Figure 126).
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.
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,
which moves and holds 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.
3. Un-thread leadscrew flange bolt
(see Figure 126), and slide bearing cover off
end of leadscrew.
Leadscrew
Figure 126. Leadscrew end-play bearings.
4. Clean bearings with minerals spirits, then
dry and repack them with NLGI#2 grease.
Re-install bearing cover.
5. With your left hand, pull leadscrew toward
tailstock, and thread leadscrew flange bolt
back on until it is finger tight and no leadscrew
end-play exists.

Before adjusting the gibs, loosen the locks for
the device so that the gibs can freely slide during
adjustment, then lubricate the ways.
The gib adjustment process usually requires
some trial-and-error. Repeat the adjustment 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.
6. Hold leadscrew flange bolt with 24mm
wrench, and tighten set screw until it is snug
at bottom of its bore.

Cross-Slide & Compound-Slide Gibs
Make sure the ways and leadscrew have been
cleaned and re-lubricated before beginning any
adjustments. Refer to Ball Oiler Lubrication
on Page 67 for instructions and lubricant
specifications.
Figure 128 shows the gib location on 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.

The saddle is supplied with a carriage lock on the
front right-hand side of the slide (see Figure 129).
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 carriage lock more
than a couple of turns or components inside will
come apart. Re-installing these components is
difficult and time consuming.

The saddle gib is located on the bottom of the
back edge of the slide (see Figure 130). 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.

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.

4. Loosen jam nuts on four set screws shown
in Figure 130, and adjust set screws same
amount as follows:
—To tighten carriage gib, tighten set screws.
—To loosen gib, loosen set screws.
5. Move carriage back and forth and repeat
adjustments as necessary until the gib pressure is acceptable.
6. Hold set screws in place and tighten jam
nuts.
3. Loosen hex nuts on the set screws shown in
Figure 131.

set screws.
5. Move carriage handwheel until half nut can
fully close, then open/close half nut several
times and notice how it feels. The 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 half nut adjustment, then
re-install thread dial.

V-Belt Tension &
Replacement
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. If the belts become excessively worn or
damaged, replace them as a matched set.
5. Check belt tension: Each belt is correctly
tensioned when there is approximately
deflection when it is pushed with moderate
pressure, as shown in Figure 133.

Leadscrew Shear Pin
Replacement
A straight 4 x 42mm brass shear pin (see Figure
134) holds the leadscrew and the drive hub
together. The pin is designed to break and disengage the power transfer to the leadscrew to help
protect more expensive lathe components in the
case of a carriage crash or the lathe is overloaded.
To replace leadscrew shear pin:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Unlock half-nut lever and turn top right gear-
box dial to "N" (see Figure 135) so leadscrew
can be rotated by hand.

3. Rotate drive hub , and inspect it to see if pin
is still stuck in both sides of it.
— If one half of shear pin has fallen out and
the leadscrew shaft can be seen through
the pin hole, rotate leadscrew until you
see the end of the inner sheared pin. Use
3
⁄16" dowel punch to tap pin out through
a
other side.
— If shear pin halves are stuck in both sides
of drive hub, center punch one of the pins

and drill an
1
⁄4" deep. Thread a #8 wood screw into
ly
⁄8" hole in the pin approximate-
the hole until the screw begins to thread
into the brass. Using pliers, pull the pin
from the hole, then drive the rest of the pin
out, as described above.
4. Align holes in drive hub with hole in 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 mark to indicate where
true hole alignment is located (see Figure
134). 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.
This lathe is equipped with a feed rod clutch,
shown in Figure 136, that connects the feed drive
hub with the feed rod through a set of springloaded ball bearings. This clutch helps protect
the apron feed system from overload. The feed
rod clutch comes set from the factory, and unless
there is a problem, it needs no adjustment.

To adjust feed rod clutch:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Point top right dial at "N", then position bot-
tom right hand gearbox dial pointer between

The clutch may slip if the path for the carriage
or the cross feed is obstructed during turning
or facing operations, the tool bit crashes into a
workpiece shoulder, the carriage lock is incorrectly tightened when the feed selection lever is
engaged, or if too deep of a cut is taken—causing
a sudden binding of the tool and workpiece.
Never completely tighten the feed clutch past its
normal setting 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 slips during normal work
loads, increase the clutch spring pressure
by tightening each of the four clutch drive
set screws shown in Figure 136 one full
turn, then recheck for slippage.
— If the clutch does not slip when it should,
reduce the clutch spring pressure by loosening each of the four clutch set screws
one full turn, then recheck for slippage.

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.
Tools Needed Qty
Open End Wrench 14mm .................................. 1
Heavy Dead Blow Hammer ............................... 1
Miscellaneous C-Clamps ................ As Required
Wooden Blocks ............................... As Required
To remove gap:
4. Loosen the preload set screw (see Figure 138)
a few turns until it no longer contacts headstock.
5. Tap outside of gap piece with a dead blow
hammer to loosen it, and, with the help of
another person, remove the gap piece.
To re-install gap:
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.
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove the four cap screws that secure gap to bed (see Figure 138).
3. Tighten dowel-pin jack nuts (see Figure 138)
to draw pins from 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.
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.

Bearing Preload
This lathe is shipped from the factory with the
spindle bearing preload adjusted. If the spindle
ever develops a bit of end-play and the workpiece
finish suffers, you can adjust the bearing preload to remove the end-play and improve the
workpiece finish.
Adjusting the bearing preload requires using a
spanner wrench or a punch and hammer. You
can either purchase the spanner wrench at a tool
store or fabricate one, using the diagram shown
in Figure 139.

7. Place a wooden block over outboard end of
spindle, tap it a few times with a small sledge
or heavy dead blow hammer (see Figure 142).
Your goal is to slide the spindle forward just
enough to introduce spindle end-play that
you can feel by hand.
10. Insert chuck key into a cam socket to prevent
spindle from turning, then tighten inner spanner nut until dial indicator needle just stops
moving (see Figure 144).
Note: For convenience and accuracy, we
recommend having another person watch the
dial while you tighten the inner spanner nut.
Figure 142. Introducing detectable end-play.
8. Place a dial indicator on cross slide and move
carriage toward headstock until contact point
of indicator touches spindle face, as shown in
Figure 143.
Figure 143. Example of dial indicator setup.
9. Move carriage an additional 0.100" toward
headstock.
Figure 144. Adjusting spindle bearings.
While tightening the inner spanner nut,
rock the spindle back and forth slightly with
the chuck 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 no spindle end-play and no
bearing preload. It is important that you find
this point without tightening the spanner nut
too much and inadvertently preloading the
spindle bearings.
If you think you have gone past the zero end-
play point, unload the bearings by repeating
Steps 7–8, then re-tighten the inner spanner
nut until it has reached the zero end-play
position.

12. Without allowing inner spanner nut to tighten
any further, install and tighten outer spanner
nut against inner nut (see Figure 146).
DO NOT overtighten outer spanner nut
because additional preload can force bearings even tighter against races in the headstock and cause headstock to compress, or
crack, or cause bearing failure.
2. Install chuck and tighten jaws.
3. Set the spindle speed to its highest setting.
4. Connect lathe to power and turn lathe spindle
ON.
5. Let lathe run for 20 minutes, periodically
shutting it down a few times and checking
temperature.
6. Turn spindle OFF, disconnect lathe from
power, and check temperature of spindle.
— If spindle nose is slightly warm to the
touch, you have correct bearing preload.
— If spindle nose is hotter than you can com-
fortably keep your hand on, preload is too
tight and you must repeat bearing preload
adjustment procedure. When repeating
the procedure, rotate the inner spanner
nut a little less during Step 12 in the preceding instructions.
