HOW TO USE:

1. Set up the lathe: Secure the lathe to a sturdy workbench and ensure proper electrical connection (consult a qualified electrician if needed). Install the desired tooling (chuck, collet closer, etc.) onto the spindle mount.
2. Mount your workpiece: Secure the workpiece between the centers or in the chuck, depending on the machining operation.
3. Adjust speed and feed: Select the appropriate spindle speed and feed rate based on the material and desired outcome. Utilize the DRO for precise positioning.
4. Engage the clutch and start machining: Engage the clutch lever to initiate spindle rotation. Use the carriage handles to move the cutting tool along the desired path while the workpiece spins.
5. Monitor and adjust as needed: Continuously monitor the machining process and make adjustments to speed, feed, or tool position as necessary to achieve the desired results.
