Installing /Removing
Headstock Center
The included spur center installs into the head-
stock spindle with an MT#2 tapered fit.
To install the headstock center:
1. DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM THE
POWER SOURCE!
2. If the faceplate is installed on the spindle,
remove it (see Page 27 for detailed instruc-
tions).
3. Make sure the mating surfaces of the center
and spindle are free of debris and oily sub-
stances before inserting the center.
4. Insert the tapered end of the center into
the spindle, and push it in with a quick, firm
motion (see Figure 25).
5. Make sure the center is securely installed by
attempting to pull it out by hand—a properly
installed center will not pull easily.
To remove the headstock center with the
knockout tool:
1. DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM THE
POWER SOURCE!
2. Hold a clean rag under the spindle or wear a
glove to catch the center when you remove
it.
3. Insert the knockout tool through the outbound
end of the spindle and firmly tap the center,
catching it as it falls (see Figure 26).
Headstock Center
Make sure the headstock and tailstock cen-
ters are properly aligned before beginning
any turning operation. See Aligning Centers
on Page 41 for additional instructions on this
procedure. Failure to observe this warning
could result in the workpiece being thrown
from the lathe resulting in serious personal
injury.
