Hi Guys,
I have just picked up an old Wood Lathe at a farm auction. When I say old it is an 1984 model but looks to be in reasonable condition. I'm trying to figure out how to remove the Headstock Drive Center. Google search has shown that it has a M18 x 2.5 Thread in there. (Not a morse taper that I can tap out) So the attachments on the headstock must just unscrew. The Drive Center has a big hexagon on it so that is no problem. I can't figure out how to lock the spindle so I can get it undone. There is a small hole in the top of the headstock but it looks like an oil hole. I can't imagine locking with such a small pin. any amount of force would just shear it off. Any Ideas? I also can't find a manual. A couple of shady looking sites want my credit card number but that isn't going to happen. Has anyone seen a pdf manual for this machine. Thanks for any assistance. David |

Hi Puckdropper,
I did find that link to the PDF referred to in quite a few places. I never thought to write to them and ask if they still have it ![]() I also found an old parts diagram but that hole is not drawn in. I have just been out to measure the hole and it is 5mm dia by about 16mm deep. I can feel some notches in the shaft if I put a piece of wire down there. Now that I look at the hole closely I see a bur in the direction that would form if an undersized rod was used to hold the shaft while the Center was removed. I guess I'll find / make something the right size and have a go. If the worst happens I'll just dissemble the headstock. If nothing else I'll see the condition of the "notches" and what the bearings look like. Thanks for your input and I'll post the results here. David. |

David You can see the parts diagram here... http://www.powertoolspares.com/tool/...btype1/spares/ Maybe the diagram can help identify the knobs (83 and 85) that might lock the spindle. Dave |

David Now that I see a spring (86) on knob (85), I'd bet that is the spindle lock. |
