Note: This chart is also on the front of the
lathe head. In most cases, the calculated
spindle speed will be between the available
speeds. Use your best judgement when
choosing either a higher or lower spindle
speed.

Note: Your lathe/mill ships with three V-belts
of varying length for the lathe spindle speed
configuration: 1) 26", 2) 28", and 3) 29". Use
your best judgement when deciding which
length of V-belt to use for each pulley con-
nection.
Tip: When installing a V-belt, always position
the V-belt on the larger pulley, then roll it onto
the smaller pulley. Conversely, when remov-
ing a V-belt, roll it off the smaller pulley first.
The V-belt, change gears,
and pulleys represent
a serious entanglement
hazard when the lathe
is running. Always have
the change gear cabinet
door closed and secure
when the machine is
connected to power.
