10.0 General Description
10.1 Lathe Bed
The lathe bed (A, Fig. 10) is made of high grade cast iron. By combining hig h cheeks with strong cross ribs, a bed with low vibration and high rigidity is realized. Two precision ground V-slideways, reinforced by heat hardening and grinding, are an accurate guide for the carriage and headstock. The main drive motor is mounted to the rear of the bed.
Figure 8
12. Tailstock - Lubricate three ball oilers (I, Fig. 9)
once daily with Mobil DTE® Oil Heavy Medium.
13. Leadscrew/Feed Rod - Lubricate three ball
oilers once daily (J, Fig. 9) with Mobil DTE® Oil Heavy Medium.
Figure 9
9.0 Electrical Connections
Figure 10
10.2 Carriage
The carriage (B, Fig. 10) is made f rom high quality cast iron. The sliding parts are smooth ground. The cross-slide is mounted on the carriage and moves on a dove-tailed slide which can be adjusted for play by means of the gibs.
The compound slide (C, Fig. 10), which is mounted on the cross slide (D, Fig. 10), can be rotated through 360°. The compound slide and the cross slide travel in a dovetail slide and have adjustable gibs. A four-way tool post (E, Fig. 10) is fitted on the compo und slide .
10.3 Headstock
The headstock (F, Fig. 10) i s c ast f rom high grade, low vibration cast iron. It is mounted to the bed by four bolts with two adjusting bolts for alignment. In the head, the spindle is mounted on two precision taper roller bearings. The hollow spindle has Morse Taper #5 with a 1-1/2" bore.
10.4 Four Way Tool Post
All electrical connections must
be completed by a qualified electrician. Failure to comply may cause serious injury and/or damage to the machinery and property.
The four-way tool post (E, Fig. 10) is mounted on the compound slide and allows a maximum of four tools to be mounted simultaneously. Remember to use a minimum of two clamping screws when installing a cutting t ool.
10
Figure 11
10.5 Apron
The apron (A, Fig. 11) is mounted to the carriage. In the apron a half nut is fitted. The half nut gibs can be adjusted from the outside. The half nut is engaged by use of a lever. Quick travel of the apron is accomplished by means of a bed-mounted rack and pinion, operated by a hand wheel on the front of the apron.
10.6 Tailstock
The tailstock (B, Fig. 11) slides on a v-way and can be locked at any location b y a clamping lever. The tailstock has a heavy-duty spindle with a Morse Taper #3.
10.7 Leadscrew and Feed Rod
The leadscrew (C Fig. 11) and feed rod (D, Fig. 11) are mounted on the front of the machine bed. They are connected to the gearbox at the left for automatic feed and lead. They are supported by bushings on both ends. Both are equipped with brass shear pins.
10.8 Gear Box
The gear box (E, Fig. 11) is made from high quality cast iron and is mounted to the left side of the machine bed.
10.9 Steady Rest
The steady rest (F, Fig. 11) serves as a support for shafts on the free tailstock end. The steady rest i s mounted on the bedway and secured from below with a bolt, nut and locking plate. The sliding fingers require continuous lubrication at the contact points with the workpiece to prevent premature wear.
10.10 Follow Rest
The traveling follow rest (G, Fig. 11 ) is mounted on the saddle and follows the movement of the turning tool. Only two fingers are required as the turning tool takes the place of the third. The follow rest is used for tuning operations on long, slender workpieces. It prevents flexing of the workpiece from the pressure of the cutting tool.
The sliding fingers are set similar to the steady rest, free of play, but not binding. The sliding fingers require continuous lubrication at the contact points with the workpiece to prevent premature wear.

12.0 Operation
12.1 Break-In Procedure
During manufacturing and testing, this lathe has been operated in the low R.P.M. range for three hours.
To allow time for the gears and bearings to break-in and run smoothly, do not run the lathe above 755 R.P.M. for the first six hours of operation and use.
12.2 Feed and Thread Selection
1. Reference the feed and thread table (A, Fig.
16).
2. Move knobs and handle (B, Fig. 16) to the appropriate position.
gears too tight will cause e xcessive noise and wear.
7. Close the cover and connect the machine to the power source.
Figure 16
12.3 Change Gear Replacement
Note: the 32T x 127T x 48T gears are installed in
the end gear compartment when delivered from the factory. This combin ation will cov er most inch feeds and threads under normal circumstances. The additional gears found in the toolbox are used for some metric threads and feeds.
1. Disconnect the machine from the power sou rce.
2. Open the end cover on the left end of the headstock.
3. Loosen the socket head cap screw (D, Fig. 17) and hex nuts (E & F, Fig. 17). Move the quadrant out of the way.
4. Change gears (G, Fig. 17) to match the feed and thread chart.
5. Thoroughly clean and install new gears.
6. Move the quadrant so the large gear m eshes with the smaller gears and tighten to secure i n place. Note: Make sure there is backlash of
0.002” – 0.003” between gears. Setting the

12.4 Automatic Feed Operation and
Feed Changes
1. Move the f orward/reverse selector (A , Fig. 18) up or down depending on desired direction.
Figure 18
2. Set the selector handle (B, Fig. 19) to t he “P” position and turn knob (C, Fig. 19) counter­clockwis e so the arr ow is pointing up to start the feed rod rotating.

Figure 19
12.5 Powered Carriage Travel
Push lever (D, Fig. 18) to the left and down to engage crossfeed. Pull lever to the right and up to engage longitudinal feed.
12.6 Thread Cutting
1. Set f eed rate selectors (B, E, F, G, Fig. 19) in proper position for the correct feed rate of the thread pitch to be cut.
2. Move knob (C, Fig. 19) to the “0” position to disengage the feed rod.
3. Engage the half nut lever (H, Fig. 18).
4. The half nut lever and the threading dial are used to thread in the conventional manner. The thread dial chart specifies at which point a thread can be entered using the threading dial.
5. To cut metric threads, the half nuts must be left continually engaged once the start point has been selected and the half nut is initially engaged (thread dial cannot be used).
5. Move the carriage again and adjust if necessary. Note: over adjustment will cause excessive premature wear of the gibs.
Figure 20
13.2 Cross Slide adjustment
If the cross slide is too loose, follow procedure below to tighten:
1. Loosen the rear gib screw (C, Fig. 20) approximately one turn.
2. Tighten front gib screw a quarter turn. Turn the cross slide handwheel to see if the cross slide is sti ll loo se. If it is st ill loo se, tig hten t he front screw a bit more and try again.
3. When cross slide is properly adjusted, snug rear gib screw. Do not overtighten; this will cause premature wear on the gib and mating parts.
13.3 Compound Slide adjustment
Follow the same procedure, as the cross slide adjustment, to adjust the compound rest.
13.4 Tailstock adjustment
13.0 Adjustments
13.1 Saddle adjustment
1. Loosen four hex nuts (A, Fig. 20) found on the bottom rear of the cross slide.
2. Turn each of the four set screws (B, Fig.20) equally with a hex wrench until a slight resistance is felt. Do n o t over tighten.
3. Move the carriage with the hand wheel and determine if drag is to your preference. Readjust the setscrews as necessary to achieve the desired drag.
4. Hold socket set screw firmly with a hex wrench and tighten hex nut to lock in place.
If the handle will not lock the tailstock securely, use the following procedure:
1. Lower handle to the unlocked position.
2. Slide tailstock to an area that will allow you to reach under the tailstock.
3. Tighten tailstock clamping nut 1/4 turn, and re­test for proper locking. Repeat as necessary.

13.5 Half Nut Gib adjustment
1. Remove the thread dial assembly by unscrewing the screw (D, Fig. 21).
2. Loosen three hex nuts (E, Fig. 21) found on the side of apron, and turn three set screws (F, Fig.21) equally with a hex wrench.
3. Adj ust properly for wear and play. Hold socket set sc re w f ir m ly w it h a he x w re nc h a nd t ig hte n hex nut to lock in place. Note: over adjustment will cause excessive premature wear on gib and mating parts.
Figure 21
7. Loosen two hex nuts found on the two adjusting bolts located on the backside of headstock just above the motor mount bracket. Adjust the bolts for alignment and tighten hex nuts. Tighten the headstock bolts and make another cut. Keep adjusting screws after each cut until the bar stock measurements are the same. Tighten all headstock bolts and jam nuts on adjusting screws.
13.7 Removing Gap Bridge
1. Using an open end wrench, tighten the two hex nuts (A, Fig. 22). This will cause the taper pins (B, Fig. 22) to release. Remove the taper pins.
2. Remove the four hex socket cap screws (C, Fig.
22) with a hex key wrench.
3. Gap bridge can now be removed.
13.8 Installing Gap Bridge
1. Clean the bottom and the ends of the gap bridge thoroughly.
2. Set gap bridge in place and align.
3. Remove nu ts (A, Fig. 22) from the taper pins (B, Fig. 22).
4. Slide taper pins in their respective holes and seat using a mallet. Install nu ts on the taper pins finger tight.
5. Install four socket head cap screws (C, Fig. 22) and tighten securely.
13.6 Headstock Alignment
The headstock has been alig ned at the f act ory and should not require adjustment. However, if adjustment is deemed necessary, follow the procedure below to align the headstock.
1. Using an engineer's precision level on the bedways, make sure the lathe is level side to side and front to back. If the lathe is not level, correct to a level condition before proceeding. Re-test alignment if any leveling adjustments were made.
2. From steel bar stock of approximately two inches in diameter, cut a piece approximately eight inches long.
3. Place two inches of bar stock into chuck and tighten chuck. Do n ot use the tailstock or cen ter to support the other end.
4. Set up and cut along five inches of the bar stock.
5. Using a micrometer, measure the bar stock next to the chuck and at the end. The measurement should be the same.
6. If the measurements are not the same and adjustment is required, loosen the four bolts that hold the headstock to the bed. Do not loosen completely; some drag should remain.
