ning of the spiral thread comes to the respective groove. (See Figure D.)

To Adjust The Tool Bit Center Height:
1. The tip of the tool bit (not included) must coincide exactly with the center of the
Tailstock Center (part #50). If the tip of the tool bit is not positioned properly, the
correct cutting dimensions cannot be obtained. Also, the tip of the tool bit may be
damaged. (See Figure F, next page.)
2. Place the tool bit in the Lathe’s Tool Holder (part #24), but do not yet tighten the
two Socket Screws (part #26) which clamp the tool bit in place. (See Figure F.)
3. Have several small, thin, metal, shims (not included) on hand. (See Figure F.)
4. Adjust the tip of the tool bit to the center of the Tailstock Center (part #50). If
necessary, insert the shim(s) under the tool bit in order to obtain the proper
centering. (See Figure F.)
