INSTALLATION

The Model M1024 Taper Attachment mounts quickly to
the back of the carriage and bed way of the Model M1020
Gear Head Lathe. Accurate tapers up to 6" can be pro
duced without repositioning the attachment. The Model
M1024 features a scale for reading degrees.
adjusting screw with fine threads achieves precise control
when setting tapers. Another feature is the ability to use
it without disengaging the cross slide nut. This will allow
it to be functional at any time by simply tightening the
deadman.

The Model M1024 comes carefully packaged and coated
with grease for rust protection. You will need to clean
all pieces thoroughly prior to installation and use. Use a
solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. For optimum

performance from your machine, make sure you clean
all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces that are
coated. Avoid chlorine-based solvents and gasoline as

they may damage painted surfaces should they come in
contact. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions
when using any type of cleaning product.

Installing the Taper

Attachment

To install the taper attachment, do these steps:

1. Disconnect the lathe from its power source!

2. Remove the splash guard from the back of the lathe

(Figure 2). If the lathe must be moved to allow
access to the splash guard, consult the lathe manual
for safe moving information.

: If you move the lathe, be sure to re-level it

Note

after returning the lathe to its final location.

3. Remove the hex nut that holds the bearings in place
at the end of the cross slide lead screw (Figures 2 &

3).

4. Remove the bearing dust cover and thrust bearing

from the end of the lead screw.

6. Remove the six Phillips head screws from the top

cover plate of the taper attachment body. Set the
screws and cover aside for later use.

7. Remove the cap screw and end block from the taper
attachment body (

8. Slide the end block and the thrust bearing over the
lead screw.

9. Thread the end nut onto the end of the lead screw
(Figure 6) and tighten the nut while holding the
cross slide handwheel
To check, turn the end block. Only a small amo
of resistance should be felt. Adjust the nut as need
ed.

Mounting Taper

Attachment Body

The taper attachment is heavy and could cause seri­ous injury if it drops on you. To minimize this possi
bility, have an assistant hold the main body while it
is being attached to the lathe

To mount the taper attachment, do these steps:

1. Remove any paint or debris from the two threaded-

holes on the rear of the lathe carriage. Debris could
cause the taper attachment bolts to not screw in
completely.

.

2. With the help of an assistant, align the the two holes

on the taper attachment body with the thread holes
on the lathe carriage. Use two M10-1.5 x 35 cap
screws to loosely fasten the main body to the lathe.
A long-handled, ball end 8 mm
best for this step (

3. Tighten the two cap screws adjacent to the lathe on
the underside of the taper attachment body (

8).

4. Turn the cross slide handwheel to align the hole

in the end block with the hole in the taper slide
(Figure 9).

Note: The dovetail ways of the cross slide must clear
the top of the taper attachment and line up with the
dovetails on the taper attachment. The mounting
holes in the taper attachment are oversized to allow
for minor height adjustments.

5. Adjust the taper attachment for clearance and check
that the cross slide moves in and out, along its full
range of motion, without increased resistance. When
the cross slide moves unobstructed and smoothly,
tighten the mounting screws.

Deadman Installation

The deadman is composed of a solid cast clamping brack­et and a loose clamping jaw. The bracket has two holes
for clamping screws that attach the clamping jaw (Figure

10).

Clamping

Screw

To attach the deadman, do these steps:

1. Place the clamping bracket over the lathe bed way

and slide the clamping jaw underneath the bracket.

2. Place clamping screws into the two holes on the
clamping bracket and tighten them.

3. Adjust the clamping screws until the clamping jaw
and bottom of the bed way are parallel. If these sur­faces are not parallel, loosen the clamping screws
and adjust them as needed.

4. Fasten the short threaded end of the support rod
into the hole on the left side of the taper attach­ment body and turn the rod counterclockwise until it
fits tightly (

5. Place a washer over the longer threaded end of the
support rod.

6. Loosen the clamping screws enough to slide the sup­port rod through the hole in the clamping bracket.

Figure 11).

7. Slide a second washer over the threads, and fasten a
M10-1.5 nut to the end of the rod.

8. Adjust the position of the clamping bracket until
the support rod is parallel with the lathe bed and
tighten the clamping screws on the clamping bracket
(Figure 12).

Note: Position the deadman as close to the main
body as possible for the best stability

9. Re-attach the splash guard to the lathe and reposi­tion the lathe as needed.

OPERATIONS

Angle Adjustments

The taper angle is adjusted by loosening the two cap
screws at the ends of the taper bar on the taper attach
ment. The angle adjusting knob allows for fine control
of the angle (Figure 13). A scale on the left side of the
taper (labeled in degrees) allows you to get close to the
desired taper, but finer adjustments should be made
with an indicator and test bar. Once the desired setting
is reached, tighten the two cap screws. Double check the
setting to ensure accuracy.

Deadman Adjustments

To use the taper attachment, tighten the clamping screws
on the deadman to secure it to the lathe bed. When
not in use, loosen the clamping screws. Removal of the
deadman or the taper attachment is not necessary when
changing from taper turning to straight turning.

Figure 13. Angle adjustment scale.

Always wear safety glasses when oper­ating the lathe. Failure to comply may
result in serious personal injury.

DO NOT investigate problems or adjust
the lathe while it is running. Wait until
the machine is turned off, unplugged
and all working parts have come to a
complete stop before proceeding!

Top Gib Adjustments

The top gib, shown in Figure 14, is mounted to a taper

that moves along the taper bar on the taper attach-

slide
ment. The slide maintains the motion of the cross slide
to produce the taper. If the gib is too loose, the angle
can be affected and the finish will suffer. If the gib is too
tight, the slide will not move freely.

To adjust the top gib, do these steps:

1. Adjust the taper bar angle to zero.

2. To tighten the gib, loosen the gib screw on the left

side of the taper slide (as viewed from the front of
the lathe) and tighten the right screw (see

14). To loosen the gib, loosen the right screw and
tighten the left screw.

3. The gib is properly adjusted when the taper slide
can be moved by hand with moderate force.

Bottom Gib Adjustments

The bottom gib, shown in Figure
back inside edge of the main body casting. If the gib is
too loose, finish problems will occur. If the gib is too
tight, the main slide will not move smoothly.

To adjust the bottom gib, do these steps:

1. To tighten the gib, loosen the gib screw on the left

(as viewed from the front of the lathe) and tighten
the right screw. To loosen the gib, loosen the right
screw (Figure 14

) and tighten the left screw.
