Mounting

this lathe should be securely mounted to a stand
or bench top. An accessory stand is available
from grizzly. please see our current catalog for
pricing. there are 2 holes in the base at the
tailstock end of the lathe and four holes on the
gearhead end which can be used to secure the
machine to a stand.
the lathe does not require a great deal of assem-
bly. this section details the installation of the
various accessory holding devices. the following
section will familiarize you with the controls for
your new lathe. After you have completed both
of these sections we will do a test run of the
machine. do not attempt a test run until you have
become familiar with both of these sections.

chucks

the Model g4002/3 Metal lathe comes equipped
with a 6'' 3-jaw chuck (already installed), a 8''
4-jaw chuck and a face plate.
the 3-jaw chuck is a scroll-type chuck, meaning
that all three jaws move in unison when adjust-
ments are made. the 4-jaw chuck, on the other
hand, features independent jaws. the 4-jaw chuck
is used for square or unevenly-shaped stock.
the 3 and 4-jaw chucks have a d-1 Camlock
mount. please note that there are lines stamped
into the cam and on the chuck body. A chuck key
is used to turn the locking cams as in figure 7.
figure 7. Key positioned to remove chuck.
Always place a piece of plywood over the
ways of the lathe before removing or install-
ing a chuck. This helps by covering the
sharp corners of the bed, protecting your
hands and fingers. use extreme care when
removing or installing a chuck so that your
hands do not become trapped between the
chuck and the plywood.
