I just received and set up my new Nova DVR XP. Why is there no knock out
rod? Is there a trick I don't know about. I've been using old jet rod
for now.

I was turning a spindle on the jet when new machine arrived. Took it
off jet and put on Nova...can't believe the difference...no vibration or
noise. YEE HA

Thanks

You should have received a bar to loosen the headstock lockdown to
rotated the headstock. That is also the knockout bar.

Must be in the box somewhere?

I don't use mine, though...

Not sure which jet you have, but I prefer the rod from my Jet 1442 over the one
that came with the Nova..
The rod from the Jet works fine and is lighter, easier to store/handle and they
put a KNOB on the end.. lol

I've found that the handiest place to store it, since it has a KNOB, (very small
peeve), is to drop it through one of the holes in the headstock lock..
Keeps it out of the way and since the most common use I have for the rod is to
turn the lock, I can always find it ;-]

Enjoy your lathe... It's a great one..

Please remove splinters before emailing

I finally figured that out !!

Thanks Fred,
