W1758 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 3/10)
The included spur center installs into the headstock spin-
dle with an MT#2 tapered fit.
DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM POWER!
Move the tailstock and tool rest to a safe working
distance from the headstock.
If the faceplate is installed, remove it (refer to
for instructions).
Make sure the mating surfaces of the spur center and
spindle are free of debris and oily substances before
inserting the center.
Insert the tapered end of the center into the spin-
dle, and push it in with a quick, firm motion (see
).
Make sure the spur center is securely installed
by attempting to pull it out by hand—a properly
installed center will not pull by hand.
DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM POWER!
Hold a clean rag under the spindle or wear a glove
to catch the spur center when you remove it.
Insert the knockout tool through the outboard end of
the spindle and firmly tap the center, catching it as
it falls (see ).
