Assembly Instructions:
Step 1.
Assemble the Post (Figure 1 No. 1) to the Base Plate (Figure 1 No. 3) using four
¼”- 20tpi x ¾”long Socket Head Cap Screws which are included in the Hardware
Package.
Step 2.
Attach the Tensioning Bar Assembly (Figure 1 No. 2) to the Post (Figure 1 No. 1)
and tighten at the approximate spindle height.
Important Note:
The Tensioning Arm Assembly is pre-assembled for right-hand operation. This
can be changed to accommodate left-hand operation (refer to Figure 1 above
to view the left-handed assembly).
How to use the Spindle Steady:
Postion the Spindle Steady on your machine so that the post is at the back. Ad-
just the height of the tension arm assembly to vertically center the tension arm
assembly with the spindle (exact height adjustment is not critical). Loosen o
all the nuts, open up the tensioning arms and slide the base forward until the
bottom wheel is close to bottom dead center on the spindle you are turning.
Tighten the base to the lathe bed. Once the Spindle Steady is securely fastened
to the lathe, squeeze the tension arms with light pressure to bring the wheels
into contact with the spindle. Be careful not to pull up or push down on the
tensioning arms as this will deect the spindle. Tighten all the nuts starting
with the two that clamp the arms, and nish with the two that clamp the swivel
block.
Removal - reverse the above process to remove the spindle for the steady.
