Spur center
the tool rest is equipped with a cam-action clamp-
ing system to secure it. When the base lock lever
is tightened, a clamping plate lifts up and secures
the tool rest to the bed.
Adjusting Tool Rest
If the tool rest unexpectedly moves during
operation, the tool and your hand could be
drawn into the spinning workpiece resulting
in personal injury. ALWAyS make sure all of
the tool rest locks are tight before beginning
operation.
the model g0462 comes with a three-way adjust-
able tool rest (see
figure 21).

along the length of the bed.
• use the pivot arm lock lever to secure the
tool rest at a working distance from the
workpiece.

height and angle of the tool rest relative to the
workpiece.
