HOW TO USE:

1. Installation: Securely mount the lathe on a stable and level surface. Refer to the user manual for detailed installation instructions.
2. Workpiece Setup: Mount the workpiece in the chuck or between the centers, depending on the machining task. Tighten the chuck or center securely to ensure the workpiece is held firmly.
3. Tool Selection: Choose the appropriate cutting tool for the desired operation (turning, facing, drilling, etc.) and install it securely in the tool post.
4. Speed and Feed Selection: Set the desired spindle speed (RPM) and feed rate based on the material, cutting tool, and desired finish. Consult cutting tool recommendations for optimal settings.
5. Machining: Engage the spindle and start the cutting process. Move the carriage along the bed or the cross slide to control the cutting tool's path. The ACU-RITE 203 DRO system can be used to precisely position the tool and monitor progress.
6. Coolant System (Optional): If using the coolant system, activate it to cool the cutting tool and workpiece during machining.
7. Safety: Always wear safety glasses, gloves, and proper attire while operating the lathe. Be mindful of rotating parts and keep loose clothing away from the machine.
