The tool rest base is equipped with a cam-action
clamping system to secure it to the lathe bed.
When the lever is engaged, a locking plate lifts up
and secures the tool rest base to the bed.
Positioning Along Bed
1. Disengage base lock lever and slide tool rest
base along bed (see Figure 22).
Adjusting Tool Rest
2. Re-engage the tool rest base lock lever to
secure the 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.
