Index Pin
The index feature allows you to cut evenly
spaced features in a workpiece while keeping
the Lathe headstock spindle locked; for
example, when cutting flutes on a spindle blank
with a router, while the spindle blank is secured
within the Lathe centers. There are 24 index
positions on the lathe.
1. To use the index pin (Figure 13), screw it
farther into the headstock until it engages a
hole in the spindle pulley.
2. Make your first flute cutting.
3. Unscrew the index pin just enough so that it
frees the spindle. Carefully rotate the
spindle to the next index position. (If you
push inward on the index pin while rotating
the spindle, you can feel when it tries to
enter the next index position.)
4. Screw in the index pin completely and
perform the second flute cutting.
NOTE: Back out the index pin completely to
free the spindle before turning on the lathe.
Maintenance
Disconnect machine from power source before
performing any maintenance.
Blow out dust and accumulation inside the
motor, the housing and the bed assembly
frequently. If the tailstock has been used as a
guide for drilling through the center of a
workpiece, also blow sawdust or shavings out of
the center of both spindles.
A coat of paste wax applied to the bed will help
keep the surface clean and maintain smooth
movement of the tool rest and tailstock.
