INTRODUCTION
About These Machines
Foreword
"The screw cutting engine lathe is the oldest and
most important of machine tools and from it all
other machine tools have been developed. It was
the lathe that made possible the building of the
steamboat, the locomotive, the electric motor, the
automobile and all kinds of machinery used in
industry. Without the lathe our great industrial
progress of the last century would have been
impossible." —How To Run a Lathe, 15th
Edition, South Bend Lathe.
The lathes represented in this manual are a
modern day version of the screw cutting lathes
that trace their roots back to the 1700's, which
were themselves technological improvements of
the bow lathe that can be traced back thousands
of years to the ancient Egyptians.
Now, almost 300 years later, these modern
"screw cutting" lathes are not just a piece of
refined machinery, but a culmination of human
ingenuity and knowledge embodied into the
design and synergy of thousands of interworking
parts—some of which represent the life's work
and dreams of many inventors, mechanical
engineers, and world-class machinists—including
the likes of Leonardo da Vinci, Henry Maudsley,
and the founders of South Bend Lathe, John and
Miles O'Brien.
And now the torch is passed to you—to take
the oldest and most important type of machine
tool—and carry on the tradition. As the operator
of a South Bend Lathe, you now join the ranks
of some very famous and important customers,
such as Henry Ford, who used the machines he
purchased to help him change the world.
Features
As the name implies, these lathes feature EVS
(Electronic Variable Speed) spindle control,
which allows the operator to quickly set the
exact spindle speed within the available range of
20–2500 RPM. Spindle speed is displayed on a
digital readout and controlled within each speed
range with the use of a dial—no changing gears
or looking up complex lever positions on a chart.
The beds of these lathes are constructed with
Meehanite castings that have been precision
hardened and ground in the traditional 3-V
prismatic design—long used on South Bend
Lathes for its accuracy, durability, and rigidity.
The headstock features quick-change gear levers
and an adjustable clutch mechanism for the feed
rod that can be set to prevent damage in the
event of a crash.
To further ensure a high degree of accuracy,
these lathes are equipped with NSK or NTN
spindle bearings. The spindles are the D1-6
camlock type with an MT#6 taper and 2.0625"
bore. The tailstock quills have an MT#4 taper
and offer 6" of travel.
The EVS lathes also include a pressurized
headstock oiling system that pre-lubricates
bearings/gears before the spindle starts and
delivers perfect lubrication during low speed
operations (compare to conventional splash
and bath oil systems that leave bearings/gears
starved for oil when the spindle is first started
and during low speed operations).
Finally, these EVS toolroom lathes are packed
with standard features, such as a complete
coolant system, easy-to-clean chip drawer, one-
shot way lubrication system, included steady and
follow rests, adjustable work lamp, foot brake,
and powered cross feed.
Capabilities
These EVS Toolroom Lathes are built for daily
use in a busy industrial setting. Loaded with
many nice features and high-precision parts,
these lathes excel at making fine tools, dies,
thread gauges, jigs, and precision test gauges—
however, they are by no means delicate. Thick
castings, heavy weight, and quality construction
throughout provide the necessary brawn for
demanding production and manufacturing tasks.

SAFETY
Understanding Risks of Machinery
Operating all machinery and machining equipment can be dangerous or relatively safe depending
on how it is installed and maintained, and the operator's experience, common sense, risk awareness,
working conditions, and use of personal protective equipment (safety glasses, respirators, etc.).
The owner of this machinery or equipment is ultimately responsible for its safe use. This
responsibility includes proper installation in a safe environment, personnel training and usage
authorization, regular inspection and maintenance, manual availability and comprehension,
application of safety devices, integrity of cutting tools or accessories, and the usage of approved
personal protective equipment by all operators and bystanders.
The manufacturer of this machinery or equipment will not be held liable for injury or property
damage from negligence, improper training, machine modifications, or misuse. Failure to read,
understand, and follow the manual and safety labels may result in serious personal injury, including
amputation, broken bones, electrocution, or death.
The signals used in this manual to identify hazard levels are defined as follows:
Death or catastrophic
harm WILL occur.
Moderate injury or fire
MAY occur.
Death or catastrophic
harm COULD occur.
Machine or property
damage may occur.
Basic Machine Safety

while running cannot be controlled and is
dangerous to bystanders. Always turn the
power OFF before walking away.
15. Health Hazards: Certain cutting fluids
and lubricants, or dust/smoke created
when cutting, may contain chemicals
known to the State of California to cause
cancer, respiratory problems, birth defects,
or other reproductive harm. Minimize
exposure to these chemicals by wearing
approved personal protective equipment
and operating in a well ventilated area.
16. Difficult Operations: Attempting
difficult operations with which you are
unfamiliar increases the risk of injury.
If you experience difficulties performing
the intended operation, STOP! Seek an
alternative method to accomplish the
same task, ask a qualified expert how the
operation should be performed, or contact
our Technical Support for assistance.

SAFETY
Additional Metal Lathe Safety
7. Speed Rates. Operating the lathe at the
wrong speed can cause nearby parts to break
or the workpiece to come loose, which will
result in dangerous projectiles that could
cause severe impact injury. Large workpieces
must be turned at slow speeds. Always use
the appropriate feed and speed rates.
8. Stopping Spindle by Hand. Stopping the spin-
dle by putting your hand on the workpiece or
chuck creates an extreme risk of entangle-
ment, impact, crushing, friction, or cutting
hazards. Never attempt to slow or stop the
lathe spindle with your hand. Allow the
spindle to come to a stop on its own or use the
brake (if equipped).
9. Crashes. Driving the cutting tool or other
lathe components into the chuck may cause
an explosion of metal fragments, which can
result in severe impact injuries and major
damage to the lathe. Reduce this risk by
releasing automatic feeds after use, not leav-
ing lathe unattended, and checking clear-
ances before starting the lathe. Make sure no
part of the tool, tool holder, compound slide,
cross slide, or carriage will contact the chuck
during operation.
10. Long Stock Safety. Long stock can whip vio-
lently if not properly supported, causing seri-
ous impact injury and damage to the lathe.
Reduce this risk by supporting any stock that
extends from the chuck/headstock more than
three times its own diameter. Always turn
long stock at slow speeds.
11. Coolant Safety. Contaminated cutting fluid
is a very poisonous biohazard that can cause
personal injury from skin contact alone.
Incorrectly positioned cutting fluid nozzles
can splash on the operator or the floor,
resulting in an exposure or slipping hazard.
To decrease your risk, change cutting fluid
regularly and position the cutting fluid nozzle
where it will not splash or end up on the
floor.
1. Clearing Chips. Metal chips can easily cut
bare skin—even through a piece of cloth.
Avoid clearing chips by hand or with a rag.
Use a brush or vacuum to clear metal chips.
2. Chuck Key Safety. A chuck key left in the
chuck can become a deadly projectile when
the spindle is started. Always remove the
chuck key after using it. Develop a habit of
not taking your hand off of a chuck key unless
it is away from the machine.
3. Tool Selection. Cutting with an incorrect
or dull tool increases the risk of accidental
injury because extra force is required for the
operation, which increases risk of breaking
or dislodging components, which can cause
small shards of metal to become dangerous
projectiles. Always select the right cutter for
the job and make sure it is sharp. A correct,
sharp tool decreases strain and provides a
better finish.
4. Securing Workpiece. An improperly secured
workpiece can fly off of the lathe spindle with
deadly force, which can result in a severe
impact injury. Make sure the workpiece is
properly secured in the chuck or faceplate
before starting the lathe.
5. Large Chucks. Large chucks are very heavy
and difficult to grasp, which can lead to
crushed fingers or hands if mishandled. Get
assistance when installing or removing large
chucks to reduce this risk. Protect your hands
and the precision-ground ways by using a
chuck cradle or piece of plywood over the
ways of the lathe when servicing chucks.
6. Safe Clearances. Workpieces that crash into
other components on the lathe may throw
dangerous projectiles in all directions, lead-
ing to impact injury and damaged equipment.
Before starting the spindle, make sure the
workpiece has adequate clearance by hand-
rotating it through its entire range of motion.
Also, check the tool and tool post clearance,
chuck clearance, and saddle clearance.

The unpainted surfaces are coated at the factory
with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
The benefit of this rust preventative is that it
works very well. The downside is that it can be
time-consuming to thoroughly remove.
Be patient and do a careful job when cleaning
and removing the rust preventative. The time
you spend doing this will reward you with
smooth-sliding parts and a better appreciation
for the proper care of the unpainted surfaces.
A
lthough there are many ways to successfully
remove the rust preventative, we have cleaned
thousands of machines and found the following
process to be the best balance between efficiency
and minimized exposure to toxic fumes or
chemicals.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
s $ISPOSABLErags
s #LEANERDEGREASER (certain citrus-based
degreasers work extremely well and they
have non-toxic fumes)
s 3AFETYGLASSESDISPOSABLEGLOVES
Note: Automotive degreasers, mineral spirits, or

Before using these products, though, test them
on an inconspicuous area of a painted area to
make sure they will not damage it.
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
1. Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.
2. #OATALLSURFACESTHATHAVERUSTPREVENTATIVE
with a liberal amount of your cleaner or
degreaser and let them soak for a few
minutes.
3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner or
degreaser is effective, the rust preventative
will wipe off easily.
Note: To clean off thick coats of rust preventative
on flat surfaces, such as beds or tables, use

it may scratch the surface.)
4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a
quality metal protectant or light oil to
prevent rust.
GAS
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and can explode
or cause fire if used for
cleaning. Avoid using these
products to remove rust
preventative.
Many cleaning solvents are
toxic if inhaled. Minimize
your risk by only using
these products in a well
ventilated area.
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
acetone or brake parts cleaner that may
damage painted surfaces. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions when using any
type of cleaning product.

Weight Load
Space Allocation
Weight Load
Refer to the Machine Specifications 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.
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.
Physical Environment
The physical environment where your machine
is operated is important for safe operation and
longevity of parts. For best results, operate this
machine in a dry environment that is free from
excessive moisture, hazardous or flammable
chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme
conditions. Extreme conditions for this type
of machinery are generally those where the
ambient temperature is outside the range of 41°–
104°F; the relative humidity is outside the range
of 20–95% (non-condensing); or the environment
is subject to vibration, shocks, or bumps.
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
access to a means of disconnecting the power
source or engaging a lockout/tagout device.
Lighting
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.
Children or untrained
people may be seriously
injured by this machine.
Only install in an access
restricted location.

Lifting & Moving
Do not attempt to lift or move this lathe if you do
not have the proper equipment or the necessary
assistance from other people. All lifting
equipment must be rated to at least 5,000 lbs.
to account for dynamic loads from bouncing or
pulling that may be applied while lifting. Refer
to the Things You'll Need section on Page 8 for
details.
To lift and move your lathe:
1. Prepare the permanent location for the
lathe.
2. Remove the shipping crate top and sides,
then remove the small components from the
shipping pallet.
3. To balance the lifting load, loosen the
tailstock lock lever (Figure 5), move the
tailstock to the end of the bedway, then lock
it in place.
This machine and its
parts are heavy! Serious
personal injury may occur
if safe moving methods are
not used. To reduce the
risk of a lifting or dropping
injury, ask others for help
and use power equipment.
4. To further balance the load, loosen the
carriage lock bolt (see Figure 6), disengage
the half nut lever, put the feed control lever
in neutral, then use the carriage handwheel
to move the carriage next to the tailstock.
Figure 5. Tailstock lock lever.
Tailstock Lock Lever
5. Position a 12" long 2x6 board under each end
of the bed, as shown in Figure 7, wrap the
lifting straps around the bottom of the 2x6's.
Note: The 2x6's extend the lifting straps away
from the bottom of the bed to prevent
machine damage from excessive strap
pressure against the leadscrew, feed rod, and
spindle control rod. Make sure to use them.

Leveling & Mounting
You must level your machine and either use the
included foot pads and leveling hardware or bolt
your lathe to the floor. Because mounting your
lathe to the floor with permanent hardware is an
optional step and floor materials may vary, floor
mounting hardware is not included.
Leveling
Leveling machinery helps precision components,
such as bedways, remain straight and flat during
the lifespan of the machine. Components on an
unleveled machine may slowly twist due to the
dynamic loads placed on the machine during
operation.
For best results, use a precision level that
is at least 12" long and sensitive enough to
show a distinct movement when a 0.003" shim
(approximately the thickness of one sheet of
standard newspaper) is placed under one end of
the level.
See the figure below for an example of a high
precision level.
For accurate turning results and to prevent
warping the cast iron bed and ways, the lathe
bedways MUST be leveled from side-to-side
and from front-to-back.
Re-check the bedways 24 hours after
installation, two weeks after that, and then
annually to make sure they remain level.
Figure 10. Example of a precision level.

Assembly
With the exception of the handwheel handles, the
lathe is shipped fully assembled.
To install the handwheel handles, thread the
large handle into the carriage handwheel and the
small handle into the cross slide handwheel, as
shown in Figure 13.
Handwheel
Handles
Figure 13. Handwheel handles installed.
To level the machine, use a precision level to
make sure the bedways are level from side-to-
side and from front-to-back.
— If using the included leveling pads
(Figure 11), place them under the six
leveling stud locations, then adjust the
studs to level the lathe.
— If using mounting hardware that does not
allow for adjustment, level the lathe by
placing metal shims between the lathe
base and the floor before bolting down.

Anchor
Stud
Lag screws and anchors, or anchor studs
(below), are two popular methods for securing
machinery to a concrete floor. We suggest you
research the many options and methods for
securing your machine and choose the best one
for your specific application.
Figure 12. Common types of fasteners for bolting
machinery to concrete floors.
Most electrical codes require that machines
connected to the power source by fixed
conduit MUST be secured to the floor.
The headstock, gearbox, and apron oil reservoirs
must have the proper amount of oil in them
before the lathe can be operated for the first
time.
Running the lathe without oil in a gearbox is
considered unwarrantable abuse, which may
result in damage to the bearings and gears. Refer
to the Lubrication section, beginning on Page
56, for details on how to check and add oil.
For Machines Mfg. Since 7/09 EVS Toolroom Lathes
-15-
PREPARATION
In addition to the gearboxes, we also recommend
that you lubricate all other points on the
machine at this time. This can be accomplished
by following the maintenance schedule on Page
54.
Note: If your lathe was shipped with oil in the
gearboxes, do not change that oil until after the
break-in period.
Power Connection
Electrocution or fire
may occur if machine is
ungrounded, incorrectly
connected to power, or
connected to an undersized
circuit. Use a qualified
electrician to ensure a safe
power connection.
Once all preparation steps previously described
in this manual have been completed, the
machine can be connected to the power source.
In order to be connected to the power source, a
circuit must be installed/prepared that meets
the requirements of the lathe, and a power
connection method must be established for that
circuit. The following lists show the minimum
requirements for each model, and instructions
follow for each connection method.
Note About Power Cords: Using an incorrectly
sized cord causes electrical components on
the machine and the cord to become very hot,
which will greatly decrease the life of electrical
components or result in fire. For best results,
use the shortest length of cord possible for your
machine, and never use a smaller cord gauge
than the specified minimum.
This machine is equipped with a frequency
drive that contains sensitive electronics,
which can be damaged by a phase converter.
DO NOT use a phase converter to power this
machine. Doing so will void the warranty.

Connecting Power Cord to Lathe
Electrocution or death will occur if you
attempt this procedure with the power cord
connected to the power source. The cord
must be disconnected from power before
performing this procedure.
These instructions are for setups where the lathe
will be connected to the power source with a
power cord and plug, as opposed to a hardwire
setup.
To connect power cord to the lathe:
1. Unlock and open the main electrical cabinet
door, and install a strain relief in the
location shown in Figure 14.
Figure 14. Location to connect power inside main
electrical cabinet.

4. Make sure the cord/wires have loose slack
between the strain relief and terminal
connections, then tighten the strain relief to
secure the power cord.
Note: The strain relief must be tightened against
the outermost jacket of the cord. Avoid over-
tightening the strain relief or it may crush
the cord and cause a short.
5. Test the strain relief to ensure it is properly
tightened by pulling the cord from outside
the box with light-to-moderate force. When
the strain relief is properly tightened, the
cord will not slide.
6. Close and lock the main electrical box door.
2. Thread the power cord through the strain
relief, and up to the main power switch
shown in Figure 14.

PREPARATION
Correcting Out-of-Phase Wiring
This sub-section is only provided for
troubleshooting. If you discover during the test
run that the lathe will not operate, or that the
spindle runs backwards, the lathe may be wired
out of phase. Without the proper test equipment
to determine the phase of power source legs,
wiring machinery to 3-phase power may require
trial-and-error. Correcting this is simply a
matter of reversing the positions where two of
the incoming power source wires are connected.
To correct wiring that is out of phase:
1. Push the stop button, turn the main power
switch to OFF, and disconnect the machine
from power (or shut OFF and lock out the
power source if hardwired).
2. Open the electrical box and disconnect the
L1 and L2 wires shown in Figure 15 on the
"To Power Source" side of the switch.
3. Connect the L1 wire to the terminal where
the L2 wire was connected originally.
4. Connect the L2 wire to the terminal where
the L1 wire was connected originally.
5. Close and latch the electrical box, and
reconnect the machine to the power source.
Test Run
After all preparation steps have been completed,
the machine and its safety features must be
tested to ensure correct operation. If you discover
a problem with the operation of the machine or
its safety components, shut the machine down,
disconnect it from power, and do not operate it
again until you have resolved the problem.
Note: The variable speed on this machine is
controlled by a frequency drive unit constructed
with sensitive electronics. These electronics
can be damaged if power is disconnected during
operation. Therefore, unless the stop button and
brake lose functionality, always properly shut
the machine down before disconnecting it from
the power source.
A Troubleshooting section is provided, starting
on Page 74, to assist you with solutions if a
problem occurs or if the lathe does not function
as described in this section.
If you need additional help after reviewing the
troubleshooting section, or you are not confident
troubleshooting the machine on your own,
contact our tech support at (360) 734-1540.
To test run your machine:
1. Read and follow the safety instructions at
the beginning of the manual, take required
safety precautions, and make sure all
previous preparation steps discussed in this
manual have been followed and completed.
2. Clear away all tools and objects used during
assembly, lubrication, and preparation.
3. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
4. Make sure that the chuck and jaws, if
installed, are secure (refer to Chuck and
Faceplate Mounting on Page 27).
Note: If a chuck is not installed on the lathe, you
do not need to install one for this test.
5. Turn the pump switch (Figure 17) to the
OFF position, and point the fluid nozzle into
the chip drawer.
Due to the complexity required for planning,
bending, and installing the conduit necessary for
a hardwire setup, this type of setup can only be
performed by an experienced electrician.
For Electrician: Connect the incoming power
wires as shown in Figure 15.

OPERATION
Operation Overview
Loose hair, clothing, or
jewelry could get caught
in machinery and cause
serious injury or death.
Keep these items away
from moving parts at all
times to reduce this risk.
During operation, small
metal chips may become
airborne, leading to serious
eye injury. Wear safety
glasses to reduce this risk.
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Puts on safety glasses, rolls up sleeves,
removes jewelry, and secures any clothing,
jewelry, or hair that could get entangled in
moving parts.
2. Examines the workpiece to make sure it
is suitable for turning, then mounts the
workpiece in one of the chucks or on the
faceplate, and removes the chuck key from
the chuck.
3. Mounts the tooling, aligns it with the
workpiece, then backs it away to establish a
safe startup clearance.
4. Clears all tools from the lathe.
5. Sets the correct spindle speed range for the
operation, and turns the spindle speed dial
all the way counterclockwise (to the lowest
speed) to avoid the possibility of damage
from a high speed start.
6. Checks for safe clearances by rotating
the workpiece by hand at least one full
revolution.
7. Moves slides to where they will be used
during operation.
8. If using power feed, selects the proper feed
rate for the operation.
9. Turns the main power switch ON, resets
the stop button so it pops out, then moves
the spindle ON/OFF lever down to start
spindle rotation. The spindle will rotate
counterclockwise (down and toward the
operator when facing the front of the lathe).
10. Turns the spindle speed dial clockwise to the
desired RPM.
11. Uses the carriage handwheels or power
feed options to move the tooling into the
workpiece for operations.
12. When finished cutting, moves the ON/OFF
lever to the center position to turn the lathe
OFF, then removes the workpiece.
To reduce the risk of
serious injury when using
this machine, read and
understand this entire
manual before beginning
any operations.
The purpose of this overview is to provide
the novice machine operator with a basic
understanding of how the machine is used durin
g
operation, so they can more easily understand
the controls discussed later in this manual.

OPERATION
Chuck & Faceplate
Mounting
This lathe is shipped with the 3-jaw chuck
installed. This is a scroll-type chuck, meaning
that all three jaws move in unison when
adjusted.
The included 4-jaw chuck features independent
jaws, which are used for square or unevenly-
shaped stock, and to mount work that needs to
be adjusted to near "0" total indicated runout.
If neither chuck can hold your workpiece, the
cast-iron faceplate has slots for T-bolts that hold
standard or custom clamping hardware. With the
correct clamping hardware, this faceplate will
hold non-cylindrical parts.
The chucks and faceplate have a D-6 camlock
mount. A chuck key is used to turn the locking
cams (Figure 40) to secure/release the chuck/
faceplate.

For Machines Mfg. Since 7/09
EVS Toolroom Lathes OPERATION
Mounting Chuck or Faceplate
The 4-jaw chuck is shipped with six camlock
studs that must be installed before the chuck
can be mounted, as explained in this procedure.
If you have not yet installed the camlock studs,
complete the instructions in "Installing and
Adjusting Camlock Studs" on Page 29.
To mount a chuck or faceplate:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Lay a chuck cradle (see Figure 39) or
plywood under the chuck or faceplate and
over the bedway to protect the precision
ground surfaces from damage and reduce
injury if fingers get pinched.
3. Clean away debris and oily substances from
the mating surfaces of the spindle and chuck
or faceplate.
4. Inspect and make sure that all camlock
studs are undamaged, are clean and lightly
oiled, and that the camlock stud cap screws
are in place and snug.
Never install a chuck or faceplate without
having the camlock cap screws in place or
fully tightened. If you ignore this notice,
the chuck may not be removable since the
camlock studs may turn with the camlocks
and never release.
6. Tighten camlocks in a star pattern to draw
the chuck up evenly on all sides while
reducing chance of alignment, and make
sure to tighten camlocks in an incremental
manner to ensure that no camlock gets fully
tightened all at once (i.e., snug the camlocks
on the first pass, then moderately tighten on
the next pass, then fully tighten on the third
pass).
As you tighten the camlocks, the chuck or
faceplate will snug up onto the spindle nose.
When fully tightened, the cam line will fall
between the two "V" marks on the spindle
nose, as shown in Figure 43.
5. Position the chuck/faceplate in front of the
spindle nose, align the chuck timing marks,
as shown in Figure 42, and align the cam-
lock studs with the sockets, then carefully
insert the chuck or faceplate onto the
spindle.
Figure 42. Chuck timing marks aligned.

Aligning
The offset of your lathe was aligned with
the spindle center line at the factory. We
recommend that you take the time to ensure
that the tailstock is aligned to your own desired
tolerances, especially if you have changed the
offset to cut shallow tapers.
To align the tailstock offset to the spindle center
line:
1. Use a precision level to make sure the
bedway is level from side-to-side and from
front-to-back.
— If the bedway is not level, correct this
condition before continuing with this
procedure.
2. Obtain two pieces of steel round stock 2" in
diameter and 6" long.
3. Center drill both ends of one piece of round
stock, then set it aside for use in Step 6.
4. Use the other piece of round stock to make
a dead center, and turn it to a 60° point, as
shown in Figure 59.
Figure 59. Turning a dead center.

Hex Wrench 6mm .................................................1
To offset the tailstock from the spindle center
line, loosen the clamp bolts underneath the
tailstock to relieve pressure on the sliding
components, then rotate the set screws in the
direction shown in Figure 58.
Once the tailstock is offset where needed, tighten
the clamp bolts underneath the tailstock.

9. Use a caliper to measure both ends of the
workpiece.
— If the machined workpiece is thicker
at the tailstock end, move the tailstock
toward the operator 1⁄2 the distance of the
amount of taper (see Figure 61).
10. Repeat Steps 7–9 until the desired accuracy
is achieved.
Move the tailstock toward
the operator half the
distance of the taper.
Looking down from above.
Figure 61. Adjust tailstock toward the operator.
— If the machined workpiece is thinner at
the tailstock end, move the tailstock away
from the operator 1⁄2 the distance of the
amount of taper (see Figure 62).
Move tailstock away from
the operator half the
distance of the taper.
Looking down from above.
Figure 62. Adjust tailstock away from the operator.
Note: As long as this dead center remains in the
chuck, the point of the center will remain
true to the spindle center line. The point will
have to be refinished whenever the center is
removed and then returned to the chuck.
5. Install a center in the tailstock.
6. Attach a lathe dog to the piece of stock from
Step 3, then mount it between the centers,
as shown in Figure 60.
Figure 60. Example of round stock mounted between
the centers.
7. Turn 0.010" off the diameter of the stock.
8. Mount a test or dial indicator so that the
plunger is on the tailstock quill.
Note: If necessary in the following step, refer to
"To Set Up the Tailstock to Cut a Shallow
Taper" on Page 34 for adjusting the
tailstock offset.

Faceplate
Refer to Chuck & Faceplate Mounting
instructions on Page 27 to mount the faceplate
to the spindle.
The 12" faceplate included with your lathe offers
a wide range of uses, 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.
Mounting Workpiece with Clamps
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Place a piece of 3⁄4" plywood on the bedway
below the spindle.
3. With help from another person, place the
workpiece onto the faceplate and clamp it in
place with a minimum of three independent
clamping devices (see Figure 63 for an
example).
Note: Be sure to take into account the rotation
and cutting forces that will be applied to the
workpiece when clamping it to the faceplate.
4. Double check tool and slide motion
clearances before turning spindle ON.
Mounting Workpiece Between
Centers
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Drill center holes in both ends of the
workpiece.
3. Install the dead center in the spindle and the
live center or carbide-tipped dead center in
the tailstock (refer to Page 37).
4. Secure a lathe dog on the spindle-end and
place a drop of oil in the center hole on the
tailstock-end of the workpiece.
5. Mount the workpiece between centers so the
lathe dog tail fits freely in the faceplate slot
without binding.
Failure to properly secure a workpiece to the
faceplate could cause the workpiece to be
thrown from the lathe with deadly force at the
operator or bystanders. Use a minimum of
three independent clamping devices to hold a
non-concentric workpiece onto the faceplate.
Machining non-concentric workpieces at a
high speed could cause the workpiece to be
thrown from the spindle with deadly force at
the operator or bystanders. To reduce this
risk, only machine non-concentric workpieces
at low speeds and clamp counter-weights to
the faceplate to balance it.

2. Thoroughly clean and dry the tapered
mating surfaces of the spindle bore, tapered
sleeve, and the center, making sure that no
lint or oil remains on the tapers.
3. Insert the center into the sleeve, then insert
the sleeve into the spindle bore through the
chuck or faceplate.
Figure 66 shows an example of the dead
center installed in the spindle, using a
lathe dog and faceplate for turning between
centers.
Centers
Figure 65 shows the dead centers included with
the lathe. In addition, an MT#6–MT#4 tapered
spindle sleeve is included for mounting centers in
the spindle.
Dead Centers
The dead center achieves more accurate results
than a live center, but it requires low spindle
speeds and a small amount of oil to reduce
friction heat that may damage the workpiece.
Use the dead center in the spindle, because the
workpiece does not rotate on the tip and does not
generate friction.
Use the carbide-tipped dead center in the
tailstock where the workpiece will rotate against
it and generate friction. The carbide-tipped dead
center can better withstand the effects of friction;
however, the tip of the center must be lubricated
to avoid premature wear and maximize smooth
operation. Also, using low spindle speeds will
reduce the heat and wear from friction.
Figure 66. Example of using a dead center with a
faceplate and lathe dog.
Dead Center
To avoid premature wear of the dead center
or damage to the workpiece, use low spindle
speeds and keep the tip of the dead center
mounted in the tailstock well lubricated.
Live Centers
A live center has bearings that allow the center
tip and the workpiece to rotate together, and can
be installed in the spindle and the tailstock quill
for higher speeds.

Removing Center from Spindle
To remove the sleeve and center from the
spindle, insert a piece of round bar stock or
similar tool through the outboard end (on the left
side of the headstock), then tap the sleeve loose.
Note: Hold onto the sleeve and center as you tap
them loose to avoid dropping them and damaging
the tip of the center or the bedways.
Removing Center from Tailstock
To remove the center from the quill, hold onto it
with a rag in one hand, then rotate the tailstock
handwheel counterclockwise to draw the quill
back into the casting until the center releases.
To mount a center in the tailstock:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Thoroughly clean and dry the tapered
mating surfaces of the tailstock quill bore
and the carbide-tipped dead center, making
sure that no lint or oil remains on the tapers.
3. Use the tailstock quill handwheel to feed the
quill out from the casting about 1". (Do not
feed the quill out of the casting more than 2"
or stability and accuracy will be reduced.)
4. Insert the center into the tailstock quill.
5. Seat the center firmly into the quill during
workpiece installation by rotating the quill
handwheel clockwise to apply pressure, with
the center engaged in the center hole in the
workpiece.
Note: Only apply enough pressure with the
tailstock quill to securely mount the
workpiece between centers. Avoid over-
tightening the center against the workpiece,
or it may become difficult to remove later,
and it will result in excessive friction and
heat, which may damage the workpiece and
the center.

5. Close the steady rest so that the workpiece
is inside the finger rollers, then tighten the
lock knob.
6. Loosen the three wing bolts so the finger
roller positions can be adjusted.
7. Use the finger adjustment knobs to
just touch the finger rollers against the
workpiece without causing workpiece
deflection.
8. Tighten the three wing bolts.
Note: The finger rollers should properly support
the workpiece but allow it to freely rotate.
4. Loosen the lock knob and open the steady

2. Rotate the compound to the desired angle,
as indicated by the scale at the base, then
retighten the two hex nuts.
— If setting up to cut external right-hand
inch or metric threads, or left-hand
internal threads for the first time, set
the compound so its travel is perfectly
parallel with the cross slide. Using a
protractor, rotate the compound 29.5°
counterclockwise and mark the new
location on the compound slide. This
mark will be the quick reference point
for setting the offset angle. To mark for
internal right-hand threads, or left-hand
external threads, repeat this process, but
rotate the compound 29.5° clockwise and
mark the cross slide accordingly.
Figure 71. Compound slide set at an angle.
Hex Nut

Slide
The compound slide handwheel has an indirect-
read graduated scale. This means that the
distance shown on the scale represents the
actual distance the tool moves, which will remove
twice as much material from the diameter of the

another graduated scale used for setting the tool
to a specific angle.
To set the compound slide at a certain angle:
1. Loosen the two hex nuts at the base of the
compound slide (1 of 2 shown in Figure 71).
Compound Slide
The four-way tool post is mounted on top of the
compound slide and allows a maximum of four
tools to be loaded simultaneously.
The four-way tool post allows for quick indexing

Adjustable Apron Stop
System
Use the adjustable apron stop collar (shown in
Figure 75) to set the location where the carriage
will be disengaged by the feedrod friction clutch.
When the adjustable apron stop contacts the stop
collar during a carriage feeding operation, the
clutch disengages the feedrod from the apron and
the carriage movement stops.
Figure 75. Adjustable apron stop and collar.
Apron Stop
Stop Collar
Apron
The adjustable apron stop system is designed
to stop the longitudinal carriage movement
at optional locations when the feedrod is
engaged.
When the leadscrew is engaged for threading
operations, the adjustable apron stop system
will not disengage the leadscrew—you must
move the half nut lever instead. Otherwise,
the carriage can crash into the chuck, or if it
contacts the stop, the leadscrew shear pin will
break.
Before doing any threading operations, make
sure to loosen the stop collar so it slides
freely on the feedrod.
Carriage Stop
The carriage stop on this lathe will NOT
automatically stop the carriage or disengage
the power feed! Failure to heed this notice
could result in the carriage crashing and
causing severe machine or property damage.
Use the carriage stop as a guide to help judge
when to stop the carriage movement.
Tools Needed Qty

To adjust the carriage stop:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Loosen the cap screws shown in Figure 76.
3. Use the carriage handwheel to position the
carriage/cutting tool at the stop point you
want to set (typically the maximum distance
the carriage can travel before there is a
crash).
4. Position the carriage stop so the rod is
firmly against the carriage, retighten the
cap screws loosened in Step 2, and use the
adjustment knob to fine tune the position of
the stop rod.
5. Move the carriage away from the stop rod,
then move it back against the stop rod and
verify that tooling will not make contact with
chuck, jaws, or other components (rotate the
chuck by hand to verify rotational clearance).

OPERATION
Manual Feed
You can manually move the cutting tool around
the lathe for facing or turning operations using
the handwheels shown in Figure 77 and
described below.
Carriage Handwheel
The carriage handwheel moves the carriage left
or right along the bed. Use this control when
setting up the machine for facing or turning.
Cross Slide Handwheel
The cross slide handwheel moves the tool toward
and away from the work. Turning the dial
clockwise moves the slide toward the workpiece.
Adjust the graduated scale by holding the
handwheel with one hand and turning the dial
with the other. The graduated scale reads in
0.001" increments and is a "direct-read" which
means that the distace on the collar reflects
the amount removed from the diamter of the
workpiece.
Compound Slide Handwheel
The compound slide handwheel controls the
position of the cutting tool relative to the
workpiece. The compound is adjustable for any
angle within its range. Angle adjustment is
secured by two nuts on the base of the compound.
The graduated scale reads in 0.001" increments
and is a "indirect-read" which means that the
distace on the collar reflects the distance that the
tool moves.

Spindle Speed
Using the correct spindle speed is important
for safe and satisfactory results, as well as
maximizing tool life.
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 operations, 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 in
Figure 78:
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. All of these sources will help you
take into account all the applicable variables in
order to determine the best spindle speed for the
operation.

For Machines Mfg. Since 7/09
EVS Toolroom Lathes OPERATION
On this machine, both the carriage and cross
slide have power feed capability. The rate that
these components move (feed rate) is controlled
by how the levers are configured on the gearbox.
Feed rate and spindle speed must be considered
together. The sources you use to determine the
optimum spindle speed for an operation will also
provide the optimal feed rate to use with that
spindle speed.
Often, the experienced machinist will use the
feeds and speeds given in their reference charts
or web calculators as a starting point, then
make minor adjustments to the feed rate (and
sometimes spindle speed) to achieve the best
results.
The carriage can alternately be driven by the
leadscrew for threading operations. However,
this section covers using the power feed option
for the carriage and cross slide components for
non-threading operations. To learn how to power
the carriage for threading operations, refer to the
Threading Controls section Page 48.

the gearbox drive gear, depending on where it is
currently set (refer to End Gear Setup on Page
47).
Once you have confirmed that the end gear is
set up properly, you can then move the gearbox
levers to the required positions. The arrows
going from Figure 84 to Figure 85 show which
gearbox levers must be moved to achieve an
example feed rate.

OPERATION
Alternate Position
When the 44- and 57-tooth end gears are meshed
(see Figure 87), you can perform modular and
diametral pitch turning.
End Gear Setup
The gearbox drive gear on this lathe can be
configured for the "normal position" or the
"alternate position" (both described in following
paragraphs), depending upon the type of
operation to be performed. The lathe is shipped
with the end gears in the normal position. Gears
must be thoroughly cleaned and re-coated in
grease before installing (refer to Page 61), and
the backlash must be maintained at 0.005" for
correct meshing.
Normal Position
The 24T end gear is installed in the top position,
the 44T/56T end gears in the middle position,
and the 57T end gear in the bottom position, as
shown in Figure 86. In the normal position, the
56T and 57T gears are meshed, which allows for
inch and metric threading and all general feed
operations.

b. Clean away debris and grime from the
gear and apply a light coat of machine
oil.
c. Swap the position of the gear, as shown
in Figure 87, then align it with the key
and insert it on the gear shaft.
d. Re-install the flat washer and cap screw.
Note: DO NOT overtighten the cap screw. The
cap screw merely holds the gear in place
and overtightening it will make it harder to
remove later and may restrict its rotation.
4. Close and secure the headstock side cover.
Half Nut Lever
The half nut lever engages the carriage with the
leadscrew which moves the cutting tool along the
length of the workpiece (see Figure 89).
When threading, we recommend using the
slowest speed possible and avoiding deep
cuts, so you are able to disengage the half nut
and prevent an apron crash!
Figure 90. Feed control lever and half nut positions
for threading.
Threading Controls
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 beginning any attempting
any threading projects.
Power Feed Lever
The feed control lever must be in the neutral
(horizontal) position for threading operations or
the half nut will not engage with the leadscrew
(see Figures 89–90).

OPERATION
Always use high quality cutting fluid in your
coolant system and follow the manufacturer's
instructions for diluting. The quick reference
table shown in Figure 101 can help you select
the appropriate cutting fluid.
Refer to Cutting Fluid System on Page 62 for
detailed instructions on how to add or change
cutting fluid. Check the cutting fluid regularly
and promptly change it when it becomes overly
dirty or rancid, or as recommended by fluid
manufacturer.
To use the cutting fluid system on your lathe:
1. Make sure the tank is properly serviced and
filled with cutting fluid, and that you wear
the necessary personal protection equipment.
2. Position the cutting fluid nozzle for your
operation.
3. Use the control panel cutting fluid pump
switch to turn the coolant pump ON.
4. Adjust the flow of cutting fluid by using the
valve lever near the base of the nozzle hose.

Cleaning
Regular cleaning is one of the most important
steps in taking care of this lathe. We recommend
that each operator be responsible for cleaning the
machine immediately after using it or at the end
of the day. We also recommend that the cleaning
routine be planned into the workflow schedule,
so that adequate time is set aside to do the job
right.
Typically, the easiest way to clean swarf from
the bed ways and chip drawer is to use a wet/dry
shop vacuum that is dedicated for this purpose
only. The small chips leftover after vacuuming
can be wiped up with a slightly oiled rag. Avoid
using compressed air to blow off chips, as it may
drive them deeper into moving surfaces and
could cause sharp chips to fly into your face or
hands.
All visible swarf should be removed from the
lathe during cleaning.

Oil Amount ..............................................7.5 Liters
Check/Add Frequency ....................................Daily
Change Frequency ...................................Annually
The headstock lubrication system is the most
important lubrication system on the machine. It
consists of an electric oil pump, a low oil pressure
kill switch, a holding tank, oil lines, and a
distribution manifold. The headstock has a series
of oil lines that direct oil to key locations, such as
the spindle bearings and headstock gearing, to
ensure that they always remain well lubricated.
The oil pump automatically turns ON and begins
oiling the headstock components when the main
power switch is turned ON and the emergency
stop button is reset. The oil is pumped before the
spindle is started to protect the spindle bearings
against potential damage from dry starts.
Checking & Adding Oil
The sight glass on the side of the headstock oil
tank, shown in Figure 109, shows the oil level
and temperature; the bottom line represents the
minimum oil level and the top line represents the
maximum oil level. The lathe must be powered
down and stopped when to get an accurate
reading on the oil level.
When the oil level approaches the minimum line,
add enough oil to bring it up to the maximum
line.
Figure 108. Headstock oil tank & components.
Sight Glass
Headstock
Oil Tank
Oil Fill Spout
Monitoring Oil Temperature
During operations, regularly monitor the oil
temperature shown in the sight glass in Figure
109. The temperature of the headstock oil must
remain under 170° F. or the oil will start to
overheat and break down, causing it to lose its
lubrication properties.
Under normal conditions, the oil should not
reach 170° F.; however, if it does, shut down the
machine and allow the oil to cool. Investigate
why the oil is getting so hot. Possibilities may
be poor ventilation, excessive work loads, poor
oil quality, oil is breaking down (losing lubricity)
due to long term use, or extreme work site
temperatures.
If possible, correct the conditions causing the
oil to get hot. If the oil is old or you suspect it is
of poor quality, change it. If the work loads or
working environment are extreme, reduce the
duty cycle of the lathe to allow the oil to cool
down when it gets hot.
If the oil temperature ever exceeds 170° F.,
change it as soon as possible to make sure the
spindle bearings have high quality lubrication.
Verifying Oil Pump Operation
To prevent costly damage to the headstock gears
and bearings, a kill switch will shut the lathe
down if the oil pump stops working or the oil
level is too low. You can verify that the pump is
working by looking at the sight glass shown in
Figure 109. When working correctly, oil can be
seen flowing across the sight glass.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Pump System & Changing Oil
The headstock oil pump system must be cleaned
and the oil changed after the break-in period and
then annually (or every six months with hard
service or extreme working conditions).
To clean the oil pump system:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Remove the cap from the fill spout shown in
Figure 110.
3. Place at least a 3-gallon drain pan under the
tank and remove the drain plug to empty the
oil into the pan.
4. Clean away any dust, debris, metal shavings,
or grime from the access cover.
5. Using a 4mm hex wrench, remove the four
access cover cap screws, then use the cap
screw in the center as a handle and lift off
the access cover.
6. Put on splash-proof safety glasses, rubber
gloves, and a respirator rated for fumes.
7. Using mineral spirits and rags, wipe down
the inside of the tank to clean it. Make sure
to soak up any excess mineral spirits with a
dry rag, so it does not stay in the tank.
Figure 110. Headstock oil tank component locations.
Drain Plug
Fill Spout
Access Cover
8. After the tank is completely cleaned out,
unthread the screen from the bottom of the
pump suction pipe (see Figure 111), and
remove the screen from the tank.
9. Clean the suction screen thoroughly with
mineral spirits and compressed air.
10. Re-install the suction screen.
Tip: Consider placing one or two magnets at the
bottom of the tank to collect any fine metal
particles generated by the headstock drive
train. This will make cleaning easier the
next time around and ensure that more
metal particles are kept out of the headstock
oil.
11. Re-install the drain plug.
12. Refill the tank with oil (refer to Page 56 for
the recommended type and amount of oil to
use).
13. Replace the fill spout plug.

Ways & Slides
The way pump shown in Figure 117 lubricates
the saddle and cross slide way guides with the oil
from the apron reservoir.
To use the way pump to lubricate the ways, pull
the pump knob out for two or three seconds and
then push it in. The pump draws oil from the
apron reservoir and then forces it through drilled
passages to the way guides.
Repeat this process and move the carriage left/
right and the cross slide forward/backward to
distribute oil along the way guides.
Lubricate the guides once before and once after
operating the lathe. If the lathe is in a moist
or dirty environment, increase the lubrication
interval and make sure to keep the oil level full.

wiped down daily to keep them rust-free and in
top condition. This includes the top of the saddle,
the cross slide, compound slide, tool post, chuck,
feedrod, and any other surface you can find that
could be vulnerable to rust if left unprotected
(this especially includes any parts that may be
exposed to water soluble cutting fluids). Typically
with these parts, a thin film of oil is all that
is necessary for protection. Any quality metal
protectant can be used to protect machined
surfaces, including either of the oils you use
elsewhere in the lathe.

Ball Oilers
Oil Type .. Mobil DTE Light or ISO 32 Equivalent
Oil Amount ..........................................1 or 2 Drops
Lubrication Frequency ................................... Daily
This lathe has five ball oiler locations (see
Figures 118–119) that should be oiled on a daily
basis. In order to properly squirt oil into the ball
oiler mechanisms, you will need an oil can or
gun.
Figure 119. Tailstock ball oiler locations.
Figure 118. Ball oiler locations.
To lubricate the ball oilers, clean the outside
surface to remove any dust or grime, push the
ball with the tip of the oil can nozzle, and squirt
a small amount inside. If the lathe is in a moist
or dirty environment, increase the oiling interval.
Cleaning Electrical Box Filter
The door of the electrical box contains an air
filter (Figure 120) to prevent dust from entering
the box as the cooling fan pulls in cool air to
reduce heat.
The air filter should be cleaned on a monthly
basis to ensure proper air circulation in the
electrical box. A clogged air filter will not allow
the cooling fan to do its job, which could result in
a decreased lifespan of the electrical components.
Figure 120. Electrical box cooling fan and filter.
Cooling Fan
Filter
To clean the filter:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Put on a dust mask or respirator to reduce
your risk of inhaling fine dust.
3. Open the electrical box door, and remove the
electrical box air filter.
4. Use compressed air to blow dust out of the
filter. Make sure to blow the dust from the
clean side (the side facing inward) of the
filter so you do not drive dust farther into
the filter.
5. Re-install filter and close electrical box door.

MAINTENANCE
End Gearing
Grease Type ............................................... NLGI#2
Frequency ................ Annually or When Swapping
The end gears, shown in Figure 121, should
always have a thin coat of heavy grease to
minimize corrosion, noise, and wear. Care must
be taken to avoid over-greasing because excess
grease may be flung onto the V-belts, which will
reduce optimal power transmission from the
motor.
Figure 121. Location of end gears that require grease.
End
Gears
Handling & Care
Make sure to clean and lubricate any gears you
install or swap. Unless you are very careful
during handling and storage, the coating of
grease on the gears will easily pickup dirt or
debris, which can then spread to the other gears
and increase the rate of wear.
Make sure the cover remains installed whenever
possible to keep the gears free of dust or debris
from the outside environment.
Lubricating
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Remove the headstock side cover and all the
end gears shown in Figure 121.
3. Clean the end gears thoroughly with mineral
spirits to remove all the old grease. Use a
small brush if necessary to clean between
the teeth.
4. Clean the shafts from which the end gears
were removed, and wipe up any old grease
splatters in the vicinity and on the inside of
the headstock cover.
5. With clean hands, apply a thin layer of
grease on the gears. Make sure to get grease
between the gear teeth, but not so much that
it fills the voids between the teeth.
6. Install the end gears and mesh them
together with an approximate backlash of
0.005". Once the gears are meshed together,
apply a small dab of grease in the crux of
where the gears mesh together—this grease
will spread around when the gears start
moving and re-coat any areas scraped off
during installation.
Annual Maintenance
Once a year, remove all the end gears, clean
them thoroughly, and apply a new coating of
grease. Even if the headstock side cover has
been kept in place throughout the year, it is still
possible for dust from the V-belts to build-up
in the grease, and the grease may also start to
break down with extended or heavy use.

Cutting Fluid System
The cutting fluid system consists of a fluid tank,
pump, and flexible nozzle. The pump pulls fluid
from the tank and sends it to the valve, which
controls the flow of cutting fluid to the work
area. When the valve is opened or closed, the
fluid comes out of the nozzle and drains through
the chip drawer and into the catch tray and
then into the tank where it is picked up again
by the pump. Figure 122 shows many of these
components and their locations.
BIOLOGICAL & POISON
HAZARD!
Use the correct personal
protection equipment
when handling cutting
fluid. Follow federal, state,
and fluid manufacturer
requirements for proper
disposal.
3. Pour cutting fluid in the tank until it is
nearly full.
4. Slide the tank back into the base and replace
the vented cover.
Adding Fluid
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Remove the vented cover and slide the tank
out, as shown in Figure 123.
Figure 123. Cutting fluid pump and tank.
Tank
Pump Motor
Although most swarf from machining operations
falls into the chip tray and stays there, some
small chips drain into the tank. The pump uses
a screen to prevent it from picking up the small
swarf that ends up in the tank.
Since the swarf is spread throughout the coolant
system, cleaning the system on a regular basis is
a requirement to maintain the life of the pump.

Hazards
As some cutting fluid ages, dangerous microbes
can proliferate and create a biological hazard.
The risk of exposure to this hazard can be greatly
reduced by replacing the old cutting fluid on a
monthly basis, as indicated in the maintenance
schedule.
The important thing to keep in mind when
working with the cutting fluid is to minimize
exposure to your skin, eyes, and respiratory
system by wearing the proper PPE (personal
protective equipment), such as splash-resistant
safety glasses, long-sleeve gloves, protective
clothing, and a NIOSH approved respirator.

MAINTENANCE
Changing Cutting Fluid
When you replace the old cutting fluid, take the
time to thoroughly clean out the chip drawer,
catch tray, and chip tray. The entire job only
takes about a 1⁄2 hour when you are prepared
with the proper materials and tools. Make
sure to dispose of all old fluid according to local
regulations.
Items Needed: Qty

Wrench 3⁄4" .............................................................1
Disposable Shop Rags ................. Approximately 6
Hose or Tubing 5⁄8" x 60" (optional) ............ 1 Piece
Magnets (optional) ................ As Many As Desired
To change the cutting fluid:
1. Position the coolant nozzle over the splash
guard, so it is pointing behind the lathe. If
you have the optional hose, connect it to the
end of the coolant nozzle now.
2. Place the 5-gallon bucket behind the lathe
and underneath the coolant nozzle. If you
have the optional hose, place the hose in the
bucket. Otherwise, you may need to hold the
bucket up to the coolant nozzle to prevent
coolant from splashing outside of the bucket.
3. Turn the cutting fluid pump ON (or have
another person turn it ON if you are holding
the bucket), and pump the old cutting
fluid out of the tank. Turn the pump OFF
immediately after fluid stops flowing.
Running the pump without adequate fluid in
the tank may permanently damage it. This is
abuse and not covered by the warranty.
Note: The electrical conduit was purposely left
long, so the tank can be removed without
disconnecting wires from the pump. Do not
disconnect electrical lines.
4. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
5. Remove the vented cover shown in Figure
122 and slide the tank half way out of the
base, as shown in Figure 123.
— If necessary, disconnect fluid hose from
pump, where shown in Figure 124.
6. Pour out the remaining cutting fluid into
your 5-gallon bucket and close the lid.
7. Wipe up the layer of swarf/residue on the
bottom of the tank and put the waste in the
second 5-gallon bucket. Flush out the tank
with soapy water and drain into the second
5-gallon bucket.
8. Slide the tank partially into the base and
reconnect fluid hose (if removed).
Tip: Leave one or more magnets at the bottom
of the tank to collect metal chips and make
cleanup easier next time.
9. Refill the tank with new cutting fluid, then
slide the tank completely into the base.
10. CONNECT LATHE TO POWER.
11. Open the valve on the cutting fluid nozzle.
12. Turn the cutting fluid pump ON to verify
that fluid cycles properly, then turn it OFF.
Note: It may take a few seconds for the pump to
start circulating fluid; however, if fluid does
not start coming out within the first minute,
turn the pump OFF so you do not burn out
the pump motor. Try priming the pump
manually by pour cutting fluid down into the
nozzle, then repeat Step 13.

Machine Storage
If the machine is not properly prepared for
storage, it may develop rust or corrosion. If
decommissioning this machine, use the steps
in this section to ensure that it remains in good
condition for later use.
To prepare your machine for short-term
storage (up to a year):
1. Pump out the old cutting fluid, and flush the
lines and tank with warm, soapy water.
2. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
3. Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal
surfaces, then apply a liberal coat of way oil.
4. Lubricate the machine as outlined in the
lubrication section.
5. Cover and place the machine 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 and make plastic guards cloudy.
6. Once or twice a month, depending on the
ambient humidity levels in the storage
environment, wipe down the machine as
outlined in Step 3.
7. Every few months, start the machine
and run all gear-driven components for a
few minutes. This will keep the bearings,
bushings, gears, and shafts well lubricated
and protected from corrosion, especially
during the winter months.
To prepare your machine for long-term storage (a
year or more):
1. Run the lathe for 10 minutes to bring the
gearboxes to operating temperature, then
drain and refill the all gearboxes with fresh
oil.
Note: During extended storage (more than two
years), any component above the oil level
may rust from condensation. We recommend
overfilling any sealed gearbox. However, over
time there will be some seepage around some
shafts and seals. If any gearbox is overfilled
make sure to put a tag on the controls as
a reminder for the maintenance person
to correct the oil level before starting the
machine. If a gearbox cannot be overfilled,
every few months manually rotate the shaft
or spindle to coat any exposed gears with oil.
2. Pump out the old cutting fluid, and flush the
lines and tank with warm, soapy water.
3. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
4. Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal
surfaces, then apply a liberal coat of way oil,
a 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.
5. Lubricate the machine as outlined in the
lubrication section.
6. Loosen or remove machine belts so they do
not become stretched during the storage
period. (Be sure to also affix a maintenance
note near the power button as a reminder
that the belts have been loosened or
removed.)
7. Place a few moisture absorbing desiccant
packs inside of the electrical box.
8. Cover and place the machine in a dry area
that is out of direct sunlight and away from
hazardous fumes, paint, solvents, or gas.

Backlash is adjusted by loosening all four
cap screws shown in Figure 126, and then
tightening the center set screw, which pushes
down on a wedge and forces the nut apart, taking
up lash in the nut and leadscrew.
If you end up adjusting the nut too tight, loosen
the set screw, tap the cross slide a few times with
a rubber or wooden mallet, and turn the handle
slowly back-and-forth, until the handle turns
freely.
To re-adjust the backlash, rock the handle back
and forth and tighten the set screw slowly until
the backlash is at approximately 0.001" as
indicated on the handwheel dial.

Tools Needed: Qty
Hex Wrench 3mm .................................................1
Backlash is adjusted by tightening the set screws
shown in Figure 125. When these screws are
adjusted against the leadscrew nut, they offset
part of the nut to remove play between the nut
and leadscrew.
If you end up adjusting the nut too tight, loosen
the set screws, tap the compound a few times
with a rubber or wooden mallet, and turn the
handle slowly back and forth until it moves
freely.
To readjust the backlash, rock the handle back
and forth, and tighten the screws slowly until the
backlash is at approximately 0.001" as indicated
on the handwheel dial.
Backlash is the amount of free play felt
while switching rotation directions with
the handwheel. This can be adjusted on the
compound and cross slide leadscrews.
Reducing backlash to less than 0.001"
is impractical. Avoid the temptation to
overtighten the backlash set screw while
adjusting. Overtightening leads to accelerated
wear of the wedge, nut, and leadscrew.

Gib Adjustment
The goal of adjusting the cross slide, tailstock,
saddle, and compound gib screws is to remove
sloppiness in the ways without over-adjusting
them to the point where the slides become stiff
and difficult to move.
In general, loose gibs cause poor finishes and
tool chatter; however, over-tightened gibs cause
premature wear on the slide, leadscrew, and nut,
and are difficult to operate.
The gibs are tapered and held in position by a
screw at each end. To adjust the gib, turn one
screw a 1⁄4 turn clockwise and the other screw a
1⁄4 turn counterclockwise, so both screws move
toward the same direction. Now test the feel of
the sliding component by turning the handwheel,
and adjust the gib screws as necessary to make it
tighter or looser.
The gib adjustment process usually requires
some trial-and-error. Repeat the adjustment
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 easy to
move.
Figures 128–131 show the location of the screws
for each gib on this machine.

Scope of Manual
This manual assumes that the reader has a basic understanding of safe electrical practices and
general wiring concepts, including how to safely make wire connections and avoid shorts. This
manual is intended to be a reference source in the event that a repair or component replacement
becomes necessary during the life of the machine. If an electrical repair becomes necessary, and you
do not have experience working with electricity or performing wiring tasks, we strongly encourage
you to get help from an experienced individual, such as an electrician, or from our technical support.
Following this advice will help you avoid serious personal injury, maintain your warranty, and keep
your machine operating correctly.
Manual Feedback
We've made every effort to be accurate when documenting this machine. However, errors sometimes
happen or the machine design changes after the documentation process—so the manual may not
exactly match your machine. If a difference between the manual and machine leaves you in doubt,
contact our customer service (see bottom of page) for clarification.
We highly value customer feedback on our manuals. If you have a moment, please share your
experience using this manual. What did you like about it? Is there anything you would change to
make it better? Did it meet your expectations for clarity, professionalism, and ease-of-use?

Electrical Safety Instructions
These pages are accurate at the time of printing. In the constant effort to improve, however, we may
make changes to the electrical systems of future machines. Study this section carefully. If you see
differences between your machine and what is shown in this section, call Technical Support at (360)
734-1540 for assistance BEFORE making any changes to the wiring on your machine.
1. 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!
2. 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.
3. Modifications: Using aftermarket parts or
modifying the wiring beyond what is shown
in the diagram may lead to unpredictable
results, including serious injury or fire.
4. Motor Wiring: The motor wiring shown
in these diagrams is current at the time of
printing, but it may not match your machine.
Always use the wiring diagram inside the
motor junction box.
5. Circuit Requirements: You MUST follow
the requirements at the beginning of this
manual when connecting your machine to a
power source.
6. 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.
7. 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 before
completing the task.
8. Experiencing Difficulties: If you are
experiencing difficulties understanding the
information included in this section, contact
our Technical Support at (360) 734-1540.
