If the top slide is not necessary it is advisable to clamp it with the screw 4 Fig 14 The turning performance is improved by elimina ting play Face turning Note This method of working is used to turn off the face of a work piece 1 Adjust the right side tool by approx 2 to 3 Fig 15 2 Move the cross slide from outside inwards to the centre with the turning tool Important The cutting speed from outside inwards differs considerably for work pieces with larger diameters Therefore push the cross slide slowly and sensitively Taper turning The top slide Fig 16 is equipped with a scale and can be swivel led by 45 on either side of zero for taper turning To do so release fastening screw 1 adjust top slide and then re tighten Cutting off a work piece 1 Clamp the cutoff tool at right angles in the tool holder Important Give the cutoff tool as short an overhang as possible half of the diameter of the work piece 1 mm Similarly give the work piece as short an overhang as possible Note the exact centre height of the cutoff tool Work at low speeds and cool blade as often as possible 2 Sensitively move the crossslide from outside inwards to the centre with the turning tool Machining longer work pieces with tail stock and centre Important If the chuck projection is greater than three times the diameter of the work piece the work piece must be held at the right end by the tailstock
3. If work pieces are clamped in the lathe chuck using the tail stock without a steady the projection Fig 12 must not be greater than three times the diameter of the material L 3 x D Note The normal lathe chuck has three steel jaws which are uniformly adjusted and centre round work pieces automatically In the normal position work pieces can be clamped up to a dia meter of 35 mm After turning the jaws it is possible to clamp up to a diameter of 68 mm 1 Turn the lathe chuck 2 Fig 12 using the wrench 1 until the work piece fits in the mount Important Do not leave the wrench in the lathe chuck Risk of injury 2 Clamp the work piece tightly and remove the wrench from the chuck 3 Check the running of the work piece and correct if necessary Important Clamping a longer work piece which has been guided thr ough the spindle and is projecting to the left increases the risk of injury In this case be particularly careful to ensure that no objects are caught in the rotating shaft Protect this zone separately by fuse Turning the jaws of the lathe chuck Important Remove mains plug Important Do not clamp work pieces with a diameter gr eater than 68 mm The clamping force of the jaws is then too small and the work piece may become loose Danger of accident Note The jaws are numbered 1 Open the lathe chuck until the jaws are released from the chuck This occurs in the sequence 3 2 and 1 2 Turn
