Installing spur center into
headstock spindle.
Removing spur center with
knock-out tool.
The spur and live centers are taper-fit compo-
nents that install in the same manner; however,
the spur center always goes into the headstock
spindle and the live center always goes into the
tailstock barrel.
Insert the tapered end of the center into
the spindle and push firmly, as shown in
.
Check that the center is securely installed
by giving it a quick tug. (A properly installed
center will not pull out by hand.)
A knock-out tool is included with your lathe to
remove the spur and live centers.
Hold a clean rag under the spindle to catch
the center when you remove it.
Using the knock-out tool, tap the center
from the outside end of the spindle (as
shown in ) and catch the center as
it falls out.
