G8690 Variable Speed Wood Lathe -11-
Spur Center
The Model G8690 is supplied with a #1 Morse
Taper spur center for use when spindle turning.
The spur center is used in conjunction with the
tailstock live center. Install the spur center by
inserting it into the hole in the headstock spindle
end. To remove the spur center from the head-
stock, insert a pin into the spindle hole and turn
the hex nut counterclockwise with a wrench until
the spur center is ejected. See Figure 5A.
Faceplate
The faceplate is used for turning plates and
bowls. To install the faceplate, remove the spur
center. Insert a pin in the spindle shaft to hold the
spindle, and thread the faceplate onto the spindle
threads as seen in Figure 6. Tighten securely
with your fingers, and use the mounting holes on
the faceplate to attach wood stock with wood
screws.

We recommend cleaning the spur center
taper with mineral spirits. Refer to the safe-
ty warnings on the container of the mineral
spirits. Failure to clean the mating surfaces
may result in separation, and an unsafe
condition. Separation is usually a result of
oil or grease on the taper.
