Vibration is the root cause of
most surface finish problems.
Be sure the cutting head is
securely locked in place.
Tight connections here reduce
the chance of vibration.
SECURING THE
CUTTING HEAD
STEP 2: SET UP THE LATHE (2 Minutes)
A. Mount the Lathe to the Adapter
Move the cutting head out so that the tips will not strike the rotor as you mount the lathe.
Next, roll the machine into place and match it up with the adapter. Note that the trolley moves up
and down to accommodate different heights. The small dowel pin on the face of the adapter will fit
into either of several holes on the run-out adjustment flange. Turn the draw bar knob to thread into
the adapter securely connecting the lathe to the vehicle.
NOTE: It is very important that the machine be mounted smoothly on the adapter without prying or
forcing. Take the time to align the machine properly in order to avoid damage to the run-out adjust-
ment flange. The large draw bar knob will spin on very easily when the machine is properly aligned,
much like installing an oil filter. Tighten it by hand only.
Loosen the trolley handle so that the machine is free to rotate. Rotate the machine so that the cutting
head is in a position where there is clearance to make the cut. Be sure to check the back side of the
rotor for obstacles. Make sure there will be clearance for the chip deflector as well.
Lock the trolley
lever securely so the machine will not rotate when the motor is started.
B. Position the Lathe for Cutting
