Fig. 5 Fig.6
20” Extension Bed (Optional)
An optional 20” extension bed can be mounted on the lathe in three locations:
Fig. 7 Fig.8

A: Right end of bed: for up to 56” center distanc (Fig. 6).
B: Right leg: for outboard turning (Fig.7)
C:Front bed: for convenience operation (Fig.8)
12” Swing away Extension Bed (Standard for T-60, Optional for T-50)

bolts B. Slightly tighten the bolts. These two bolts must be taken off as soon as swing
away system assembly is completed (Fig.9)
2, Adjust the extension bed flush to the lathe bed. Make sure inside ways and surfaces are
aligned.
3, Slide the tailstock back to the position as show in figure. X=30mm or 1-1/2” (Fig. 10)
4, Rotate the lock handle until the tailstock locked firmly. Now the extension bed is well
aligned with lathe bed (Fig. 11)
5, Put the two eccentric pivot pins in lathe bed, turn the pins until it slightly touch extension
bed bottom. Secure pivot pins with nuts D (Fig.9)
6, Mount the hinge between lathe bed and extension bed with head cap screws, spring
washers and flat washer (Fig.11). Do not tighten head cap screws at this moment. Use
alan wrench to tun the set screws until it hit beds. Then firmly tighten bolts.
7.,Mount clamping device on both lathe and extension bed as shown on Fig.12.
Operation of Lathe
Control Panel Information (Fig. 13)
Fig. 13
A, Spindle speed readout: Indicates the
spindle speed in RPM.
B, On/Off Switch: Turns lathe ON and OFF
NOTE: If a sudden power failure occurs,
the spindle will not re-start automatically
when the power is restored to the machine.
Push the off button C to reset the switch,
and then press the on button D to restart
the lathe.
C, Spindle direction switch: Toggles the
spindle direction between forward or
reverse.
Forward: Spindle rotates towards you;
Reverse: Spindle rotates away from you;
D, Speed control knob: Adjust the spindle
speed within the range.

Change Over of low-high speed ranges
This lathe is designed with two speed ranges (Low/High speed range) , within each range,
speed can be changed variablly by an electronic variable speed controller. To change the
spindle speed range, please follow instructions as below (Fig 14):
Fig.14
1, Unplug the lathe from the power source.
2, Open the magnetic belt cover which is
located on the headstock.
3, Loosen lock lever A and pull the belt
tension release lever B.
4, Place the belt C in the desired speed
range.
5, Rotate the spindle by hand and make
sure the pulley grooves are aligned with
the belt grooves and the belt runs smooth.
6, Pushing the tension release lever
properly and tighten the lock lever A.
Note: The best belt tension should be that when pressing belt on the middle by one finger,
the bellt deflects about 1/4” -1/2” (about 6-12mm)
Note: Always use the lowest speed of the range when starting lathe
For best turning result, find the following recommended spindle speed chart:
