To position tool rest forward/backward and
along the length of the bed:
1. Loosen tool rest base lock lever and move
tool rest assembly to desired position on
lathe bed, as shown in Figure 18.
Note: To maximize support, the tool rest
base should always be locked on both sides
of the bed. Never pull the tool rest so far back
that it is only secured on one side.
2. Re-tighten tool rest base lock lever to secure
tool rest assembly in position.
Note: The large clamping hex nut under-
neath the tool rest base will require occa-
sional adjusting to ensure proper clamping
pressure of the tool rest assembly to the bed.
Turn this hex nut in small increments to fine
tune the clamping pressure as needed.
