Installing/Removing

Spur Center

The spur center installs in the headstock spindle
with a taper fit.

To prevent rusting, we recommend removing cen-
ters when not in use and coating the tapers with a
light layer of lubricant or metal protectant.

To install the centers:

1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

2. Make sure the tapers are clean and free of

any dust or debris.

3. Insert the tapered end of the center into the

spindle (see

Figure 15), and push it in quickly

and firmly.

Figure 15. Installing spur center.

Figure 16. Removing spur center.

To remove the spur center:

1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

2. Insert the lock pin through the backing plate

and into the casting.

3. Use the provided wrench to back off the nut,

as shown

Figure 16, to force the spur center

out of the spindle.

4. Remove the lock pin.

NOTICE

Leaving the lock pin installed when the lathe

is switched ON may damage your motor or

electrical components.
