Adjusting Tool Rest; Adjusting Tailstock; Installing Work Holding - Jet Jwl-1236 Gebrauchsanleitung

Caution: Never change speeds without
the motor running. Damage to the
variable speed pulleys may result.
7.2..Pivoting headstock
For larger workpieces the head stock
will have to be turned 90°, the
extension added to the tool rest and
the tool rest moved out to the bed
extension (Fig 5).
Fig 5
Loosen the headstock lock handle (B,
Fig 2) and pull the index plunger (C,
Fig2) to turn the headstock.
Caution: always operate lathe with
the headstock locked in position.

7.3 Adjusting tool rest

Position the tool rest ( C, Fig 6) as
close to the workpiece as possible.
Tighten handle (A, Fig 6) to lock.
Fig 6
Set the height to appr. 3mm above
centreline. Tighten indexable knob (B,
Fig 6).

7.4 Installing work holding

Disconnect the machine from the
power source (unplug)
The face plate (Fig 7) screws on the
spindle nose thread.
Fig 7
Mount the workpiece directly to the
face plate using 4 wood screws from
the back. Be careful to use screws
short enough not to interfere with the
cutting process but long enough to
hold the workpiece securely to the
face plate.
If screw mounting is not allowed at all,
the work may be glued to a backing
block and the backing block screwed
to the face plate. A piece of paper in
the glue joint will prevent damaging
the wood when separated later.
Mount the face plate with the
workpiece already attached onto the
spindle nose thread and hand tighten.
Turn the workpiece by hand to see if it
rests securely and can be rotated
freely.
For face plate turning the tool rest is
set slightly lower than centreline.
Caution: cut with your chisel on the
left side of the turning centre only.
The spur drive centre (Fig 8) locks
into the spindle taper and can be
removed with the knockout rod.
Fig 8
Mount the centred workpiece between
the spur drive centre and the tailstock
mounted live centre.
Turn the tailstock hand wheel until the
live centre well penetrates the
workpiece. Reverse the hand wheel by
one quarter turn and lock the tailstock
spindle.
6
Turn the workpiece by hand to see if it
rests securely between centres and
can be rotated freely.
For turning between centres the tool
rest is set appr. 3mm higher than
centre line.

7.5 Adjusting tailstock

Turn the hand wheel (A, Fig 9)
clockwise to move tailstock spindle
forward. Lock tailstock spindle with
the indexable knob (B, Fig 9).
Fig 9
The handle (C, Fig 9) locks the
tailstock in position on the bed.
The live centre can be ejected by
turning the hand wheel counter-
clockwise.
The live centre pin can be removed to
allow deep hole drilling operations.
