Smithy GN1300 - Manual (Page 53)

Overview
This section contains information on installing tooling for your lathe and mill.
Setting-up Lathe Tooling
There are three main areas to set-up tooling when you are using the lathe
portion of your Granite 1300 series tool:
•Lathe Spindle
•Compound Angle Toolpost
•Tailstock
Lathe Spindle
Any tooling that is mounted to the lathe spindle will use the D1-4 camlock
mounting system.
Three studs on each attachment are inserted into matching holes in the lathe
spindle. (See figure 6.1 for example.) A camlock socket for each stud is rotated
with the lathe chuck key to lock it securely in place. Index marks on the spin-
dle as well as the camlock sockets must be aligned properly for installation or
removal of the studs from the holes.
The position of the index marks on the spindle flange and on the tooling should
meet at the 12 o’clock position when they are in the unlocked position.
Standard rotation is clockwise to lock the studs into postion and counter
clockwise to loosen. Each cam should turn approximately 140º to 180º for a
secure lock on the stud. Adjustment of stud depths can be made if necessary to
obtain proper rotation.
