-21-
The tool rest is equipped with a cam-action clamp-
ing system to secure it. When the base lock lever
is tightened, a clamping plate lifts up and secures
the tool rest to the bed.
Adjusting Tool Rest
The Model G0462 comes with a three-way adjust-
able tool rest (see Figure 20).
• Use the base lock lever to secure the tool rest
along the length of the bed.
• Use the pivot arm lock lever to secure the tool
rest at a working distance from the workpiece.
• Use the tool rest lock lever to adjust the
height and angle of the tool rest relative to the
workpiece.

For safe and good turning results, we recommend
positioning the tool rest approximately
1
⁄4" away
from the workpiece, and approximately
1
⁄8" above
the workpiece center line (see Figure 21).

If tool rest unexpectedly moves during oper-
ation, the tool and your hand could be
drawn into the spinning workpiece result-
ing in death or crushing injuries. ALWAYS
make sure all tool rest locks are tight before
beginning operation.
