Tool Rest Lock Handle: locks the tool rest in position relative to the tool rest base. Base Release Lever: releases the tool rest base and allows it to be repositioned along the lathe bed. tool rest tool rest base figure 14.
Changing Speed Ranges the variable speed motors on the Model g0657 and g0658 allow the spindle speed to vary within three separate ranges. For greater speed variations, the belt in the headstock can be repositioned. a label on the top of the headstock illustrates the belt positions and their speeds.
Adjusting Tailstock the tailstock is equipped with a cam-action clamping system to secure it to the lathe bed. When the lever is engaged, a locking plate lifts and secures the tailstock to the bed. To position the tailstock along the bed: loosen the release lever and move the tailstock to the desired position (figure 20).
The tailstock quill lock handle must always be locked down while the lathe is in use. The workpiece can be thrown from the lathe if this step is not observed. Also, the tailstock...

When turning the lathe ON, stand to the side • of the spinning direction until the lathe reach- es full speed and you can verify that the lathe will not throw the workpiece. • use the slowest spindle speed when rough cutting.
Sanding/finishing after turning, the workpiece can be sanded, as shown in figure 41, and finished (in the same manner) before removing it from the lathe.
