Leadscrew Shear Pin
The longitudinal leadscrew is secured to the feed
rate gearing in the headstock with the use of a
soft-metal shear pin (see Figure 147). The shear
pin is designed to break and disengage power
to the leadscrew to help protect more expensive
lathe components if you crash your carriage or
take too large of a cut and overload the lathe.
Replacement shear pin part number: P0768334.

To replace shear pin:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Rotate leadscrew so shear pin faces up and
down. If connecting collar rotates indepen-
dently from leadscrew, then rotate collar so
shear pin hole aligns with those in leadscrew.
3. Use punch and hammer to drive out pieces of
old shear pin.
4. Make sure hole in collar and leadscrew are
aligned, then tap new shear pin completely
through holes in collar and leadscrew.
