INTRODUCTION
Machine Description

Manual Accuracy

The metal lathe is used to remove material from
a workpiece that is mounted to the spindle and
rotated over the bed. The cutting tool is mounted
alongside the bed and moved against the spinning workpiece to cut it.

We are proud to provide a high-quality owner’s
manual with your new machine!

Typical metal lathe cutting operations include facing, turning, parting, drilling, reaming, grooving,
knurling, and threading. There are a wide variety
of tools and workpiece holding devices available
for each of these operations.
The G0765 features an electronic variable-speed
control and digital RPM display that make it possible to select speeds within the selected range
while the machine is running.

Additional Safety for Metal Lathes
Serious injury or death can occur from getting entangled in, crushed between, or struck by
rotating parts on a lathe! Unsecured tools or workpieces attached to rotating objects can also
strike nearby operators with deadly force. To minimize the risk of getting hurt or killed, anyone
operating this machine MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.
CLOTHING, JEWELRY & LONG HAIR. Tie back
long hair, remove jewelry, and do not wear loose
clothing or gloves. These can easily get caught on
rotating parts and pull you into lathe.

LONG STOCK SAFETY. Long stock can whip
violently if not properly supported. Always support
any stock that extends from the chuck/headstock
more than three times its own diameter.

ROTATING PARTS. Always keep hands and body
at a safe distance from rotating parts—especially
those with projecting surfaces. Never hold anything against rotating workpiece, such as emery
cloth, that can pull you into lathe.

CLEARING CHIPS. Metal chips can be razor
sharp. Avoid clearing them by hand or with a rag.
Use a brush or vacuum instead.

GUARDING. Guards and covers protect against
entanglement or flying objects. Always ensure they
are properly installed while machine is running.
ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Remove all chuck keys,
wrenches, and adjustment tools before turning
lathe ON. A tool left on the lathe can become a
deadly projectile when spindle is started.
SAFE CLEARANCES. Before starting spindle,
verify workpiece has adequate clearance by handrotating it through its entire range of motion.
NEW SETUPS. Test each new setup by starting
spindle rotation at the lowest speed and standing
to the side of the lathe until workpiece reaches full
speed and you can verify safe rotation.
SPINDLE SPEEDS. Using spindle speeds that are
too fast for the workpiece or clamping equipment
can cause rotating parts to come loose and strike
nearby people with deadly force. Always use slow
spindle speeds with large or non-concentric workpieces. Never exceed rated RPM of the chuck.
CHUCKS. Chucks can be heavy and difficult to
hold. During installation and removal, protect your
hands and precision bed ways by using a chuck
cradle or piece of plywood over the bed ways. Use
lifting equipment, as necessary, for large chucks.

-10-

SECURE WORKPIECE. An improperly secured
workpiece can fly off spindle with deadly force.
Make sure workpiece is properly secured before
starting the lathe.
STOPPING SPINDLE. Always allow spindle to
completely stop on its own, or use a brake, if
provided. Never put hands or another object on a
spinning workpiece to make it stop faster.
CRASHING. A serious explosion of metal parts
can occur if cutting tool or other lathe component
hits rotating chuck or a projecting part of workpiece. Resulting metal fragments can strike nearby
people and lathe will be seriously damaged. To
reduce risk of crashing, ALWAYS release automatic feeds after use, NEVER leave lathe unattended,
and CHECK all clearances before starting lathe.
TOOL SELECTION. Cutting with incorrect or dull
tooling increases risk of injury from broken or dislodged components, or as a result of extra force
required for operation. Always use sharp tooling
that is right for the job.
SANDING/POLISHING. To reduce risk of entanglement, never wrap emery cloth around rotating
workpiece. Instead, use emery cloth with the aid
of a tool or backing board.
MEASURING WORKPIECE. To reduce risk of
entanglement, never measure rotating workpieces.

Model G0765 (Mfd. Since 5/15)

Additional Chuck Safety
ENTANGLEMENT. Entanglement with a rotating chuck can lead to death, amputation, broken
bones, or other serious injury. Never attempt to
slow or stop the lathe chuck by hand, and always
roll up long sleeves, tie back long hair, and remove
any jewelry or loose apparel BEFORE operating.
CHUCK SPEED RATING. Excessive spindle
speeds greatly increase the risk of the workpiece
or chuck being thrown from the machine with
deadly force. Never use spindle speeds faster than
the chuck RPM rating or the safe limits of your
workpiece.
USING CORRECT EQUIPMENT. Many workpieces can only be safely turned in a lathe if additional
support equipment, such as a tailstock or steady/
follow rest, is used. If the operation is too hazardous to be completed with the lathe or existing
equipment, the operator must have enough experience to know when to use a different machine or
find a safer way.
TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Using a chuck
incorrectly can result in workpieces coming loose
at high speeds and striking the operator or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of this hazard, read and understand this document and seek
additional training from an experienced chuck user
before using a chuck.

Model G0765 (Mfd. Since 5/15)

CHUCK CAPACITY. Avoid exceeding the capacity
of the chuck by clamping an oversized workpiece.
If the workpiece is too large to safely clamp with
the chuck, use a faceplate or a larger chuck if possible. Otherwise, the workpiece could be thrown
from the lathe during operation, resulting in serious
impact injury or death.
CLAMPING FORCE. Inadequate clamping force
can lead to the workpiece being thrown from the
chuck and striking the operator or bystanders.
Maximum clamping force is achieved when the
chuck is properly maintained and lubricated, all
jaws are fully engaged with the workpiece, and
the maximum chuck clamping diameter is not
exceeded.
PROPER MAINTENANCE. All chucks must be
properly maintained and lubricated to achieve
maximum clamping force and withstand the rigors
of centrifugal force. To reduce the risk of a thrown
workpiece, follow all maintenance intervals and
instructions in this document.
DISCONNECT POWER. Serious entanglement or
impact injuries could occur if the lathe is started
while you are adjusting, servicing, or installing the
chuck. Always disconnect the lathe from power
before performing these procedures.

-11-

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY
Availability
Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, shock,
or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to power
supply.

Full-Load Current Rating
The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.
Full-Load Rating...........................................10A
The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.

-12-

Serious injury could occur if you connect
machine to power before completing setup
process. DO NOT connect to power until
instructed later in this manual.

110V Circuit Requirements
This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:
Nominal Voltage..................... 110V, 115V, 120V
Cycle...........................................................60 Hz
Phase............................................ Single-Phase
Power Supply Circuit.......................... 15 Amps
A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

For your own safety and protection of
property, consult an electrician if you are
unsure about wiring practices or electrical
codes in your area.
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

Grounding & Plug Requirements
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.
This machine is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding
plug. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT modify the provided plug!

Grounding Prong

5-15 PLUG
Neutral Hot

Figure 7. Typical 5-15 plug and receptacle.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.

Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine. If you must use an extension
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:

SHOCK HAZARD!
Two-prong outlets do not meet the grounding
requirements for this machine. Do not modify
or use an adapter on the plug provided—if
it will not fit the outlet, have a qualified
electrician install the proper outlet with a
verified ground.

Cleanup
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
There are many ways to remove this rust preventative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
•
Disposable rags
•
Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)
•
Safety glasses & disposable gloves
•
Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and can explode
or cause fire if used to
clean machinery. Avo i d
u sing t h e s e p r o d u c t s
to c l e a n m a c hin e r y.

Many cleaning solvents
are toxic if inhaled. Only
work in a well-ventilated
area.

NOTICE

Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may
damage painted surfaces.
T23692—Orange Power Degreaser
A great product for removing the waxy shipping
grease from your machine during clean up.

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
1.

Put on safety glasses.

Coat the rust preventative with a liberal
amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak
for 5–10 minutes.

Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser is effective, the rust preventative will wipe
off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper,
scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe
off the rest with the rag.

Site Considerations
Weight Load

Physical Environment

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.

The physical environment where the machine is
operated is important for safe operation and longevity of machine components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are
generally those where the ambient temperature
range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity
range exceeds 20%–95% (non-condensing); or
the environment is subject to vibration, shocks,
or bumps.

Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the maintenance and service described in this manual.
See below for required space allocation.

Electrical Installation
Place this machine near an existing power source.
Make sure all power cords are protected from
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals, or
other hazards. Make sure to leave enough space
around machine to disconnect power supply or
apply a lockout/tagout device, if required.

Lighting

Children or untrained people
may be seriously injured by
this machine. Only install in an
access restricted location.

Lighting around the machine must be adequate
enough that operations can be performed safely.
Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract
or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Chuck Installation

To ensure accurate work, it is extremely important
to make sure the spindle nose and chuck mating
surfaces are clean. Even a small amount of lint or
debris can affect accuracy.

Insert chuck screws through mounting holes
in spindle backplate, as shown in Figure 20.
Make sure chuck seats firmly and evenly
against backplate shoulder.

Scroll Chuck
Clamping
This 3-jaw, scroll-type chuck has an internal scrollgear that moves all jaws in unison when adjusted
with the chuck key. This chuck holds cylindrical
parts on-center with the axis of spindle rotation
and can be rotated at high speeds if the workpiece
is properly clamped and balanced.
Never mix jaw types or positions to
accommodate an odd-shaped workpiece. The
chuck will spin out of balance and may throw the
workpiece! Instead, use an independent jaw chuck
or a faceplate.

To change jaw set:
1.

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Use appropriate device to protect ways (refer
to Installation & Removal Device subsection).

Insert chuck key and turn it counterclockwise
to back jaws out and remove them individually in descending order (i.e., 3, 2, 1).

Use mineral spirits to clean debris and grime
from jaws and chuck jaw guides.

Apply thin coat of NLGI #2 grease to surfaces
of removed jaw set. Store in safe place free
from moisture and abrasives.

Rotate chuck key clockwise until you see tip
of outer scroll-gear lead thread about to enter
a jaw guide (see below).

Insert jaw #1 into jaw guide and hold jaw
against scroll-gear.

Rotate chuck key clockwise one turn to
engage tip of scroll-gear lead thread into jaw.
Pull jaw; it should be locked into jaw guide.

Install remaining jaws in numerical order, in
same manner. The jaws should converge
evenly at center of chuck.
—If jaws do not converge evenly, remove
them. Re-install jaws sequentially 1–3, and
make sure each one engages with scrollgear lead thread during its first rotation.

Model G0765 (Mfd. Since 5/15)

Faceplate
Refer to the prior Chuck Installation subsection
for instructions on installing the faceplate.
The faceplate included with your lathe can be
used for a wide range of operations, including
machining non-concentric workpieces, straight
turning between centers, off-center turning, and
boring.
The tools needed for mounting a workpiece will
vary depending on the type of setup you have.

Machining non-concentric workpieces at
high speeds could cause workpiece to be
thrown from lathe with deadly force. To
reduce this risk, use a low RPM, and use
counter-weights to balance faceplate or
workpiece.

To mount a non-concentric workpiece to a
faceplate:
1.

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Position appropriate device across bed ways
to protect them from any potential damage
from workpiece contact during installation.

With help from another person or holding
device to support workpiece, position it onto
faceplate and clamp it in place with a minimum of three independent clamping devices
(see below for an example).
Be sure to take into account rotational and
cutting forces that will be applied to workpiece when clamping it to faceplate. If necessary, use counter-weights to balance assembly and use a dial indicator to make sure
workpiece is properly positioned for your
operation.
Non-Cylindrical
Workpiece

Failure to properly secure workpiece to
faceplate could cause workpiece to be
thrown from lathe with deadly force. To
reduce this risk, use a minimum of THREE
independent clamping devices to hold
workpiece onto faceplate.

Tailstock
The tailstock is typically used to support long
workpieces at the side opposite the spindle, using
a live or dead center. It can also hold a tapered
drill bit (or a drill chuck with a regular drill bit) for
boring holes. Unlike boring done with a drill press
where the workpiece is fixed and the drill bit
rotates, the drill bit in a tailstock remains stationary while the workpiece is rotated by the spindle.
The entire tailstock can be repositioned and
locked in place along the length of the bed. An
independently controlled offset adjustment allows
the upper part of the tailstock to move perpendicular to the bedways so it can be aligned with
the spindle center (for concentric turning) or offset
from the spindle center (for tapered turning).

Note: If the tooling has an open hole in the end,
then a screw can be threaded into the end of the
tool to provide a solid surface for the quill pin to
push against when the quill is retracted for tool
removal. Otherwise, removal of such tooling may
be difficult.

To install tooling in tailstock:
1.

With tailstock locked in place, unlock quill,
then use handwheel to extend it approximately 1".

Thoroughly clean and dry tapered mating
surfaces of quill and center, making sure no
lint or oil remains on tapers.

With a firm and quick motion, insert tool into
quill. Check to see if it is firmly seated by
attempting to twist it—a firmly seated tool will
not twist.

Unlock tailstock and move it until tip of tool
is close to, but not touching, workpiece, then
lock tailstock.

Start spindle rotation, unlock quill lock lever,
then turn quill handwheel clockwise to feed
tool into workpiece.

the tailstock.

Model G0765 (Mfd. Since 5/15)

Use shop rag to hold tool.

Rotate quill handwheel counterclockwise to
fully retract quill into tailstock until tool is
forced out of quill.

Offsetting Tailstock
The tailstock quill can be offset from the spindle
centerline for turning tapers. Offsetting the quill
toward the front of the lathe results in a taper at
the tailstock end. Conversely, offsetting the quill
toward the back of the lathe results in a taper at
the spindle end.

Note: The marks on the offset indicator are arbitrary. For a precise offset, use a dial indicator to
check quill movement while adjusting the screws.

This is an essential adjustment that should be verified or performed each time the tailstock is used
to turn concentric workpieces between centers
or immediately after offsetting the tailstock when
turning a taper. If the tailstock is not aligned with
the spindle centerline when it is supposed to be,
turning results will be inaccurate along the length
of the workpiece.

Dead Center

Dead Centers
Dead centers are one-piece high-speed steel
centers that require low spindle speeds and a
small amount of oil to reduce friction heat that may
damage the workpiece.
Mount the MT#2 dead center (see Figure 36)
in the tailstock. Since the workpiece will rotate
against the center and generate friction, the tip of
the center must be lubricated to avoid premature
wear and maximize smooth operation.
Mount the MT#3 dead center (see Figure 36) in
the spindle for operations where the workpiece
rotates with the center and does not generate
friction.

This will allow you to quickly return the compound rest to that exact angle the next time
you need to cut threads.

Model G0765 (Mfd. Since 5/15)

Over-extending a cutting tool from the post
will increase risk of tool chatter, breakage,
or tool loosening during operation, which
could cause metal pieces to be thrown at
the operator or bystanders with great force.
DO NOT extend a cutting tool more than 2.5
times the width of its cross-section (e.g.,
2.5 x 0.5" = 1.25").

To set the spindle speed for your operation, you
will need to: 1) Determine the best spindle speed
for the cutting task, and 2) configure the lathe
controls to produce the required spindle speed.

Determining Spindle Speed
Many variables affect the optimum spindle speed
to use for any given operation, but the two most
important are the recommended cutting speed for
the workpiece material and the diameter of the
workpiece, as noted in the formula shown below.

*Recommended
Cutting Speed (FPM) x 12

Spindle
= Speed
Dia. of Cut (in inches) x 3.14
(RPM)

*Double if using carbide cutting tool
Figure 46. Spindle speed formula for lathes.
Cutting speed, typically defined in feet per minute
(FPM), is the speed at which the edge of a tool
moves across the material surface.
A recommended cutting speed is an ideal speed
for cutting a type of material in order to produce
the desired finish and optimize tool life.
The books Machinery’s Handbook or Machine
Shop Practice, and some internet sites, provide excellent recommendations for which cutting
speeds to use when calculating the spindle speed.
These sources also provide a wealth of additional
information about the variables that affect cutting
speed and they are a good educational resource.
Also, there are a large number of easy-to-use
spindle speed calculators that can be found on
the internet. These sources will help you take into
account the applicable variables in order to determine the best spindle speed for the operation.

-37-

Setting Spindle Speed Range

Configuration Example

The high/low range lever shown in Figure 47,
is used to select one of the two spindle speed
ranges.

Follow this example to gain a better understanding of how to set the spindle speed.
To set spindle speed to 100 RPM:

High/Low
Range Lever

Make sure spindle is completely stopped,
and shift high/low range lever to LOW, as
shown in Figure 47.
Note: If high/low range lever does not easily adjust into position, rotate chuck by hand
while you apply pressure to lever. When
gears align, the lever will easily move into
place.

Figure 47. High/low range lever set to low.
When the lever is moved to the right, as shown in
Figure 47, the low spindle speed range (100–1000
RPM) is selected. When the lever is moved to the
left, the high spindle speed range (100–2000)
RPM is selected.

Turn variable speed dial to "0".

Turn spindle direction switch to "F", and
press ON button.

Adjust variable speed dial until spindle speed
display reads 100 RPM.

Setting Spindle Direction & Speed
Set the spindle rotation direction to forward or
reverse with the spindle direction switch, shown
in Figure 48. Reset the Emergency Stop button,
press the ON button, then turn the variable speed
dial clockwise until the desired spindle speed displays on the spindle speed display.

Power Feed
The carriage has power feed options for either
threading or non-threading operations. However,
this subsection only covers using the power feed
option for non-threading operations. To learn how
to power the carriage for threading operations,
refer to Threading on Page 46.

B. Feed Direction Lever: Selects carriage travel direction. The carriage moves left when
feed direction lever is up, half nut lever is
engaged, and spindle switch is set to "F".
The carriage moves right when the feed
direction lever is all the way down. The carriage will not move when the lever is in the
center position.
Carriage travel direction reverses when the
spindle switch is set to "R".

To avoid damaging lathe, ALWAYS make
sure spindle is completely stopped BEFORE
using headstock controls to make changes.

Power Feed Controls
Use the following descriptions and figures to
understand the power feed controls.
Before using power feed, you may have to reconfigure the end gears, depending on how they are
set up. The lathe comes from the factory with the
end gears setup in the standard configuration
(refer to End Gears on Page 43). This end gear
configuration achieves a fixed feed rate of 0.04 in/
rev. Refer to End Gears on Page 43 for detailed
instructions on how to configure the end gears.

lathe for a threading operation. If you are unfamiliar with how to cut threads on a lathe, we strongly
recommend that you read books, review industry
trade magazines, or get formal training before
attempting any threading projects.

Headstock Threading Controls
The threading chart on the headstock face displays the settings for inch threading; a metric
thread chart is provided on Page 70.
Using the controls on the lathe, follow the example below to understand how to set up the lathe
for a threading operation.
To set the lathe to thread 20 TPI:

Thread Dial
The numbers on the thread dial (Figure 65) are
used with the thread dial chart to show when to
engage the half nut during inch threading.
Note: The thread dial is not used for metric
threading. You must leave the half nut engaged
from the beginning until the turning is complete for
this type of operation.

When threading, we recommend using the
slowest speed possible and avoiding deep
cuts, so you are able to disengage the half
nut when required to prevent a carriage
crash!
When the first cutting pass is complete, the operator disengages the carriage from the leadscrew
using the half nut lever. The operator returns the
carriage for the next pass and re-engages the half
nut using the same thread dial setting to resume
the cut in the previous pass.

Cleaning/Protecting
Because of its importance, we recommend that
the cleaning routine be planned into the workflow
schedule.
Typically, the easiest way to clean swarf from the
machine is to use a wet/dry shop vacuum that is
dedicated for this purpose. The small chips left
over after vacuuming can be wiped up with a
slightly oiled rag. Avoid using compressed air to
blow off chips, as this may drive them deeper into
the moving surfaces or cause sharp chips to fly
into your face or hands.
All unpainted and machined surfaces should be
wiped down daily to keep them rust free and in top
condition. This includes any surface that is vulnerable to rust if left unprotected. Use a quality ISO
68 way oil (see Page 49 for offerings from Grizzly)
to prevent corrosion.

Model G0765 (Mfd. Since 5/15)

Lubrication
The lathe has metal-to-metal sliding surfaces that
require regular lubrication to maintain smooth
movement and ensure long-lasting operation.
Other than the lubrication points covered in this
section, all other bearings are internally lubricated
and sealed at the factory. Simply leave them
alone unless they need to be replaced.

task,

This lathe has four ball oilers that should be oiled
on a daily basis before beginning operation.

We recommend using Model SB1365 Way Oil or
equivalent (see Page 49) for most of the lubrication tasks.

Proper lubrication of ball oilers is done with a
pump-type oil can that has a plastic or rubberized cone tip. We do not recommend using metal
needle or lance tips, as they can push the ball too
far into the oiler, break the spring seat, and lodge
the ball in the oil galley.

Lubricate the ball oilers before and after machine
use, and more frequently under heavy use. When
lubricating ball oilers, first clean the outside surface to remove any dust or grime. Push the tip of
the oil can nozzle against the ball oiler to create
a hydraulic seal, then pump the oil can once or
twice. If you see sludge and contaminants coming
out of the lubrication area, keep pumping the oil
can until the oil runs clear. When finished, wipe
away any excess oil.
Refer to Figure 75 to identify the location of each
ball oiler.

NOTICE

The recommended lubrication is based on
light-to-medium usage. Keeping in mind
that lubrication helps to protect the value
and operation of the lathe, these lubrication
tasks may need to be performed more frequently than recommended here, depending on usage.
Failure to follow reasonable lubrication
practices as instructed in this manual could
lead to premature failure of lathe components and will void the warranty.

Preparing Lathe for Storage
1.

DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal
surfaces, then apply a liberal coat of way oil,
heavy grease, or rust preventative. Take care
to ensure these surfaces are completely covered but that the rust preventative or grease
is kept off of painted surfaces.

Lubricate machine as outlined in lubrication
section. Be sure to use an oil can to purge all
ball oilers and oil passages with fresh oil.

Place a few moisture absorbing desiccant
packs inside of the electrical box.

Cover lathe and place it in a dry area that is
out of direct sunlight and away from hazardous fumes, paint, solvents, or gas. Fumes
and sunlight can bleach or discolor paint.

Every few months, rotate by hand all geardriven components a few times in several
gear selections. This will keep bearings,
bushings, gears, and shafts well lubricated
and protected from corrosion—especially
during winter months.

Backlash Adjustment
Backlash is the amount of free play felt while
changing rotation directions with the handwheel.
This can be adjusted on the cross slide leadscrew.
Before beginning any adjustment, make sure all
associated components are cleaned and lubricated and locks are loose.
When adjusting backlash, tighten the components
enough to remove backlash, but not so much that
the components bind the leadscrew, making it
hard to turn. Overtightening will cause excessive
wear to the sliding block and leadscrew.

Reducing backlash to less than 0.002" is
impractical and can lead to accelerated wear
in the leadscrew and other components.
Avoid the temptation to overtighten the
backlash nut or screw while adjusting.

Angle the compound rest so you can access
the cap screws shown in Figure 80. Loosen the
outer cap screws, adjust the inner cap screw,
then tighten the outer cap screws. Move the
cross slide handwheel back and forth and adjust
backlash until it is approximately 0.002"–0.003",
as indicated on the graduated dial. Re-adjust the
compound rest angle when you are finished.

Gib Adjustment

Compound Slide
Adjustment
Fasteners

The goal of adjusting the gib screws is to remove
sloppiness or "play" from the ways without overadjusting them to the point where they become
stiff and difficult to move.
In general, loose gibs cause poor finishes and
tool chatter; however, over-tightened gibs cause
premature wear and make it difficult to turn the
handwheels.
The gib adjustment process usually requires some
trial-and-error. Repeat the process as necessary
until you find the best balance between loose and
stiff movement. Most machinists find that the ideal
gib adjustment is one where a small amount of
drag or resistance is present, yet the handwheels
are still somewhat easy to move.
Clean and lubricate the ways before beginning
any adjustments. Refer to Lubrication on Page
51 for instructions and lubricant specifications.

Adjust all three cap screws in small and equal
increments, then test movement of slide by
rotating handwheel.
Note: Turning cap screws clockwise tightens
the gib, and turning them counterclockwise
loosens the gib.

When satisfied with gib adjustment, use hex
wrench to prevent cap screws from moving,
then retighten hex nuts to secure the settings.

Recheck movement of slide and, if necessary, repeat Steps 2–4.

Half Nut Adjustment

Fuse Replacement

The rigidity of the half nut engagement is adjusted
by tightening or loosening the half nut gib screws.
Adjust the half nut if it feels too loose or too tight
when being engaged. Movement that is too stiff
will accelerate wear. Movement that is too sloppy will produce inaccurate turning or threading
results.

This lathe features an on-board fuse designed
to blow to protect sensitive electrical parts from
thermal damage in the event of an overload. If the
spindle does not start, replace the fuse.

Brush Replacement

Unscrew rear brush cap and carefully remove
brush from motor (see Figure 87).

This lathe is equipped with a universal motor
that uses two carbon brushes to transmit electrical current inside the motor. These brushes
are considered to be regular "wear items" or
"consumables" that will need to be replaced during the life of the motor. The frequency of required
replacement is often related to how much the
motor is used and how hard it is pushed.

Brush

Replace the carbon brushes when the motor no longer reaches full power, or when the brushes measure less than 1⁄4" long (new brushes are 5 ⁄ 8" long).

Timing Belt Tension
& Replacement
The timing belt transfers power from the motor to
the drive pulley (see Figure 89).

Tensioning Timing Belt
1.

DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

Perform Steps 2–5 on Page 61 to remove
components to access timing belt.

Verify belt is centered on drive pulley (see
Figure 89) by hand-rotating chuck. The belt
should be seated so it does not contact headstock or hang out at end of pulley.

Because the molded teeth in the belt fit together
with matching teeth in the pulley, the timing belt
will not slip unless the belt teeth become overly
worn or belt tension is overly loose.
An improperly tensioned timing belt will slip, which
quickly causes it to become damaged and unsuitable for further use. Therefore, it is essential to
maintain belt tension properly to prevent slippage.

—If belt is not centered, loosen motor mount
hex nuts (see Figure 89), re-adjust motor
position and re-tension belt.
4.

Loosen both motor mount hex nuts.

Ensure belt teeth are properly engaged in
pulley notches, push down on motor with
light/moderate pressure, and tighten motor
mount hex nuts.

Once a timing belt begins to slip, it must be
replaced in order to regain proper power transmission.

SECTION 8: WIRING
These pages are current at the time of printing. However, in the spirit of improvement, we may make changes to the electrical systems of future machines. Compare the manufacture date of your machine to the one
stated in this manual, and study this section carefully.
If there are differences between your machine and what is shown in this section, call Technical Support at
(570) 546-9663 for assistance BEFORE making any changes to the wiring on your machine. An updated
wiring diagram may be available. Note: Please gather the serial number and manufacture date of your
machine before calling. This information can be found on the main machine label.

Wiring Safety Instructions
SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is connected to a power source is extremely dangerous.
Touching electrified parts will result in personal
injury including but not limited to severe burns,
electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power
from the machine before servicing electrical components!
MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond
what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpredictable results, including serious injury or fire.
This includes the installation of unapproved aftermarket parts.

WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires
or components increase the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice
that any wires or components are damaged while
performing a wiring task, replace those wires or
components.
MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in
these diagrams is current at the time of printing
but may not match your machine. If you find this
to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the
motor junction box.

WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must
be tight to prevent wires from loosening during
machine operation. Double-check all wires disconnected or connected during any wiring task to
ensure tight connections.

CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors
and power inverters store an electrical charge for
up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from
the power source. To reduce the risk of being
shocked, wait at least this long before working on
capacitors.

CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow
the requirements at the beginning of this manual when connecting your machine to a power
source.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are experiencing difficulties understanding the information
included in this section, contact our Technical
Support at (570) 546-9663.

The photos and diagrams
included in this section are
best viewed in color. You
