Positioning the tool slide
1. Turn the cam shaft handle in either clockwise or anti-clockwise direction to loosen the tool slide.
➢ Note: The handle should be free to turn around when the tool slide is loose.
2. The tool slide can be positioned anywhere along the lathe bed once the cam shaft handle is loosened
3. Lock the tool slide at the desired position by turning the cam shaft handle in one direction until it becomes
firm.
❖ Tip: Do not position the tool slide so most of the tool rest body is hanging off
from the lathe bed, as this will impose a higher chance of the tool rest
breaking when there is a catch during turning.
Adjusting the tool rest height
1. Loosen the tool reset locking handle to free the tool rest.
2. Pull out/ push in the tool rest into the tool slide body to adjust the tool rest to the desired height.
3. Tighten the tool rest locking handle to lock the tool rest height into place.
