G8691 Wood Lathe w/ Stand
ASSEMBLY, CONT.
Spur Center
The Model G8691 is supplied with a #2 Morse
Taper spur center for use when spindle turning.
The spur center is used in conjunction with the
tailstock live center. Before installing the spur
center, thread spindle nut onto shaft and lightly
tighten nut. Then insert the spur center into the
hole in the spindle end. To remove the spur cen-
ter, use the supplied open end wrench and an
adjustable wrench to thread the spindle nut off
along with the spur center. Figure 5.

Faceplate
The faceplate is used for turning plates and
bowls. To install the faceplate, remove the spur
center. Using the supplied open-end wrench to
hold the spindle, thread the faceplate onto the
spindle threads. Tighten securely with fingers and
use the mounting holes on the faceplate to attach
wood stock. Figure 6.

Make sure the live center in the tailstock
lines up with the spur center in the head-
stock before turning anything between the
centers. Failure to observe this step could
result in the workpiece being thrown from
the lathe. Serious personal injury could
occur if care is not taken.
It is important to make sure the spur center and
live center are lined up with one another. The
easiest way to accomplish this is to make sure
the tailstock “footprint” is centered over the width
of the lathe bed. Loosen the bolt holding the tail-
stock secure to lathe bed and adjust the assem-
bly until alignment is achieved, then tighten
securely.
