(viewed from beneath).
5. Lift the tool rest from the lathe bed and repo-
sition it on the outboard turning attachment
so that the clamp shaft protrudes through
the gap in the outboard turning attachment
(Figure 33).

6. Replace the clamp washer and lock located
on the clamp shaft. Tighten the lock nut so
the release handle will clamp the tool rest
securely when locked but still allow easy
movement when released.
The Model G0658 is equipped with a detachable
outboard turning attachment. This provides addi
-
tional clearance for a greater variety of turning
tasks.
See Setup on Page 12 for instructions on install
-
ing the outboard turning attachment.
To mount a workpiece to the spindle handweel
for outboard turning, see Faceplate Turning on
Page 26. The method for attaching a workpiece to
the spindle is the same for both turning methods.
To place the tool rest on the outboard turning
attachment:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Prepare the outboard turning attachment by
thoroughly cleaning it to remove debris or
buildup.
3. Release the tool rest base release lever so
the tool rest moves freely, then position the
tool rest so the entire base sits on the lathe
bed. This will prevent the tool rest from falling
when the lock nut is removed (
Figure 31).
4. Loosen and remove the lock nut and clamp
washer from beneath the tool rest base
(Figure 32).
