GENERAL NOTES
Ample and proper lubrication is essential to ensure good results and lasting accuracy.
Lubrication of the lathe should start as soon as it has been cleaned and before any mechanisms
are operated or sliding parts moved.
Do not fill oil wells above the level shown on the oil sights, and use only high grade oil with
an approximate specification to that given on the chart.
If difficulty is experienced in maintaining turning. facing and boring operations to within standard
limits. the chances are that this is caused by the lathe being out of level. Most complaints of
this nature have been found to be due to this cause. and the lathe should be carefully re-Ievelled.
using a good sensitive level.
Plain Bearing Head Lathes should not be used at the top spindle speeds until a few days' heavy
work has been done on the slower speeds. After this. when using the top speeds. the lathe
should be first started up on a slower speed to warm up the headstock parts.
Hammers. spanners. tools, etc" should not be placed on the bed shears or slides. This prevents
scratching and other damage to the same.

CAUTION.-Do not change spindle speeds or feeds with the shafts revolving any faster than
is necessary to engage the gears properly; the lathe should be slowed down or stopped to do
this. When stopped, if the gears do not mesh instantly the friction clutch should be lightly
engaged to revolve the gears slowly.

CHATTER.-May be due to the follOWing causes and these should be checked over before
asking for a service call:­
Work extending too far from chuck; change method of chucking or support outer end
in stay or With tai/stock centre.
Too great a distance between centres Without support; use a stay.
Oil. grease or dirt in between spindle nose and flange and chuck; these parts should be
cleaned before mounting chuck on the spindle,
Dirt between centres and workpiece or bad fitting centreS in fast headstock or tailstock.
End play in spindle.
Improperly adjusted compound rest and saddle slips or gib plates.
Cutting edge of tool below centre of spindle.
Tool too weak or haVing too much overhang.
Tool insecurely clamped in tool-rest.
Irregular shaped work and fixtures causing out of balance or intermittent cutting.
Incorrect selection of cutting speed and feed.
Wipers for bed shears should be cleaned frequently and adjusted or replaced as reqUired.

SPARES.-When ordering spares, clear descriptions or sketches of parts should be given. and
in all cases it is important to quote the machine number given on the lathe nameplate or el)Q of
bed shears.

LlFTlNG.-When lifting, a "ing should be placed around one or cwo of the middle ribs of [he bed between the
gUiding ways, and another sling around the ends of a steel bar passing through the holes provided in the bed.
The saddle should be placed in a suitable position for balancing. The slings should be packed clear of pans
liable to damage. such as feedshaft, etc.

LEVELlING.-The lathe should be set with adjusting screws resting on plates and with the bolts in position,
the holes then being filled In. After the concreted holes are set, levelling is accomplished by means of the adjusting
screws in each foot and using an accurate spirit level. The level should be placed crosswise on saddle top and
lengthWise on the back shear of the bed. the saddle being moved along [he bed for checking crosswise at different
positions. Take finishing cut along a bar projecting 12 in. from the: chuck and check diameter by micrometer.
The bar .hould be parallel to within ·00075 in. in 9 in. If outside this limit, check over top of bar using dial gauge

Before the bar is turned. the lathe should be fully oiled [0 instructions given on separate sheet. The level of the
lathe should be checked periodically, "y every 6 month,.

 THE MOTOR DRIVE

This is by a flanged motor and vee-rope d rive. For adjustment of ropes the motor is mounted
on an adaptor plate with 4 bolts engaging slots in the main motor support bracket. To adjust.
it is only necessary to slacken the f,xing nuts and lower by the adjusting screws provided.

THE ELECTRIC CONTROL PANEL

If necessary, this can be easily removed by disconnecting the wires at the panel from the switch
and push-button station and taking out the screws in the fixing straps. when the panel will
pull out. SWitch off at the isolating switch before removing the cover over the panel chamber.

FAST HEADSTOCK
The motor is started and stopped by means of the push buttons on the control unit on the
fast headstock; these operate the starting panel. Spindle speeds are obtained by means of the
set of 3 operating levers at the front. the speeds being self indicating. The spindle should be
stopped by means of the dutch-operating lever before changing speeds.
Feed reverse and coarse pitch operating levers are also situated at the front of the headstock.
A work steady for supporting bar work is fixed at the extreme end of the spindle and is fitted
with 4 Allen grub screws for gripping the work.
The clutch and brake through which the drive is taken on the pulley shaft are self adjusting
and should need no attention, if trouble however does occur our advice should be sought.

 SADDLES AND SLIDES

The saddle is locked to the bed by means of the lever on the top of the right-hand saddle wing,
this should, if possible. be locked when surfacing.

The top slide can be locked by means of the square-headed screw at the front of the top slide.

Each division of the saddle-screw dial represents ·001 in. movement of the cool. likewise the tool
moves ·001 in. per division of the top slide dial.

There are felt wipers at the ends of the bed shear covers and these should be renewed as
required.

THE SQUARE TURRET

This is of the automatic type and anti-clockwise movement of the lever unlocks the turret.
lifts the locating plunger and rotates the turret to the next station: the locking motion is of
course reverse to this. The turret can be locked in intermediate positions when this is necessary.
The dimensions of the turret and the tool size are given on the capacity chart.

TAILSTOCK
The position of the spindle clamping lever can be adjusted by slightly turning the nut with 2
tommy holes at the bottom of the clamping bolt.

Slight long tapers can be turned by offsetting the tailstock from its shoe with the screws
prOVided.

To remove the centre retract the spindle fully when the centre will be automatically ejected.

The cover at the end of the tailstock carries a felt Wiper for keeping the spindle and bore clean:
this should be renewed when necessary.

This (Orally enclosed box has 24 changes, which, rogether with a 2 change in the rear end gearbox gives 48 changes
of feed and 48 dlfferent: threads wIthout alteration 'CO change gears. The lever at the (OP right-hand end is used
for disconneccing the le::sdscrew for shorr intervats. NOTE.-lf the sc:rewcutting motion is not being used for
a long period the change wheels should be swung oUt of mesh.

NOTE.-To operate the top gearbox feed change knob, (he gearbox should be run slowly and [he bo([om

A safety spring~loaded coupling transmits the feeds through [he long feed sha.ft co the apron. The slipping load
is pre-set and cannot be adjusted.

Feeds coarser than those shown on the chart can be obtained by engaging the coarse pitch ratio. This increases
the feed by the coarse pitch ratio. These very coarse feeds can only be used on the lower half of the speed range,
and shouid be used With discretion.

Feed lever in position "D" should not be used above 420 r.p.m.

Cross feeds are half the longitudinal feeds, Le., half the feed in inches. Change wheels for all standard
types of thread are shown in the accompanying charts, together with the necessary formui;:e for obtaining the
change gears for special th re.ads and pitches,

 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF

SCREWCUTTING DIAL

This is a most useful aid to screwcutting although its use is limited to certain threads and pitches.
Where applicable it enables the nuts to be engaged without danger of cross threading. The dial
may be used when cutting any pitch which is contained a whole number of times in a length
of 8 in. From this it will be seen that the whole numbers of threads per inch can be cut, also
threads per inch ending in eighths. quarters and halves, viz .. 21;, 2t. 2t t.p.L

One revolution of the dial is equivalent to 8 in. length of thread on the screw. As the dial is
diVided into 16 divisions. the alternate ones being numbered. I to 8, then from one numbered
division to the next is k of a revolution and is equivalent to I in. of screw thread. It will be
seen. therefore. that when cutting a screw having a whole number of threads per inch. the
spindle will make a whole number of revolutions in one inch length, and as the leadscrew like­
wise makes a whole number of revolutions in the same distance the leadscrew nuts can be
engaged at any numbered division on the dial. From this it follows that if the threads per inch
in the screw to be cut is an even number. a whole number of threads is contained in t in. and the
nuts may be engaged at any of the 16 divisions on the dial.

Similarly odd numbers can only be engaged at any numbered division; threads ending in halves
engaged every quarter revolution of the dial; threads ending in quarters every half revolution;
threads ending in eighths every revolution. For linear inch pitches, convert the pitch to an
equivalent number of threads per inch (viz.,! inches pitch It t.p.i.) and follow the above rules.

If the number of '-p.i. is neither a whole number nor does not cnd in {, of Or k. then the dial
cannot be used, in which case the screw must be cut completely without disengaging ,he nuts
and by using the screw reverse mechanism, or spindle reverse, to run the saddle back with the
nuts engaged. There are certain other special applications of the dial and information on any
particular case will be supplied by our technical department on request.

 SCREWCUTTING INSTRUCTIONS

When setting the change gears it is important that there should be a small amount of backlash
between each set of gears. This ensures that the drive to the screw will be smooth and that no
undue stress is set up on the change gear studs which might lead to breakage. No difficulty
should be met with in mounting the change gears if they are set as shown in the diagram on
[he plates. If the screwcutting motion has been standing for any length of time all the pares
concerned !;hould be lubricated together with the change gears.

Reverse to the screw for normal pitches is by the reverse lever on the front of the fast
headstock operating a single tooth clutch running at the same speed as the spindle. Consequently
the clutch may be used to run back the saddle to the starting position when cutting metric
or odd pitches. This reverse lever should not be operated at speeds above 140 r.p.m.

Alternatively the spindle may be reversed by the lever on the head and the saddle traversed
back at a qUicker speed if desired.

Coarse pitches are obtained by means of the coarse pitch operating lever on the headstock
which causes the gearbox drive to be taken from a driving shaft in the headstock instead of
from the spindle. Reverse for screwcutting when using coarse pitch motion must be by reversing
the spindle. Also for coarse pitch screwcutting. the fast and slow speed change lever must
be set to "Slow" speed. otherWise the drive to the spindle or to the screw is not effective.

For accurate screwcutting it is essential that all slides should be adjusted properly without
backlash and locked when possible.

As the leadscrew thruS[ is [aken on ball bearings, there should be no wear, and if there is any
slackness it will be caused by the checknut becoming loose. This can easily be examined
and adjusted if necessary. by removing the gearbox cover.

When cutting very coarse leads, the nuts should be engaged and disengaged with the la[he
stopped, using the driving clutch to start and stop the saddle traverse. The top slide should
also be locked during each cut to obviate any digging of the tool due to the large helix angle
of coarse lead screws.

As the rack pinion and handwheel shaft are mounted on ball or roller bearings no adverse
effect on the screwcutting is experienced from drag of the pinion in the rack.

The leadscrew motion should be disconnected when not in use.

CLEANING OR REPLACING LEADSCREW NUTS

This is easily done by removing the thread indicator and nut brackets from the side of the apron
complete with leadscrew nuts.

 INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING

MULTIPLE START SCREWS

For all multiple start screws the coarse pitch ratio must be engaged to use the following method
of dividing.

The starts can be obtained by marking the spindle or chuck flange and the main headstock,
the spindle or chuck flange being divided into the number of starts required. Then 2, 3, 4, 6
or 8 starts can be obtained by pulling out of engagement the driving pinion (shown in
sketch), operated by means of the lever giving fast and slow speed ranges on the fast
headstock and leaving the lever in the neutral position approximately as shown.

The spindle is then turned the requisite amount and the pinion can then be re-engaged; care
should be taken not to disturb any other motion whilst this is being done. As the gear on the
spindle has 72T, any number of starts which will diVide into 72 can be cut in this way.

Before dividing, all backlash shOuld be removed, with the work and leadscrew turning in the
dirEction of cutting.

Idormation on any particular case will be supplied on request by our technical department.

NEUTRAL
FAST I

When uSing the coarse pitch ratio for leads of I in. and under or 25 mm. and under, the gearbox
levers should be set to 8 times the t.p.i. indicated at the top of the colu mn containing the
desired lead on the screw pitch chart.

For example, the levers should be set to 8 Lp.i. or 16 t.p.L for t in. lead or ~ in. lead respectively,
and use the change wheels indicated for these leads.

 INSTRUCTIONS FOR TAPER TURNING

This attachment will turn taper work up to 4 inches per foot on diameter or 20 included ang e.

When tapering it is only necessary to set the gUide bar at the required angle. The saddle screw
is located in the gUide block by ball thrust bearings. and being telescopic with its driving pinion
pushes or pulls the cross slide with it; thus adjustment to the cut can be made in the ordinary
way by means of the saddle screw handwheel and dial,

There should be no backlash on the saddle screw nuts, and adjustment to these can be made
by grinding the setting plate, which is slotted to lift off, by merely slackening the 2 Allen fixing
screws. Before doing this the backlash should be measured by means of the saddle screw dial.
taking into account the backlash between the key and keyway of the telescopic joint. The
saddle vee guard can be removed by slackening back the 2 grub screws marked (A) on diagram.
which hold the guard fixing pins.

The knurled screw for setting the taper should only be used with the long guide bar approxi­
mately central with the saddle screw, otherwise it will be difficult to operate.

IMPORTANT,-The swivelling guide bar must be always locked by the two end bolts after making
any adjustment to it, even though the taper attachment is not in use, as the bar takes the thrust
from the saddle screw.

If the motion has been standing see that it is well cleaned and lubricated b~fore use.

 INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPINDLE BEARING

ADJUSTMENT

PLAIN BEARING SPINDLE

.lefore starting up the spindle. the motor should be set on and left to run a few minutes to
allow oil to circulate around all bearings. especially the front bearing. For the first few weeks
it is advisable to run the head by steps up to the top speeds if they are reguired. If in any
difficulty consult us for advice.

The spindle bearings should not reguire adjustment for some years if the oil in the head has been
renewed with clean oil periodically. (See oiling diagram.)

BEARING ADJUSTMENT

I. Kemove set screw in nut "e" and adjust nut until torgue to turn spindle when in neutral
position is 45-55 10. in. Torque can be measured by the pull on a light spring balance
attached to a string carried around the lathe chuck. turning the spindle slowly.

2. Kemove chuck and measure accurately to ·001 in. distance "X" between flange of spindle
and machined face of cover "E".

3. Slacken nut "C'. about four turns and draw spindle forward by means of tin. dia. screws
through holes in spindle flange. with nuts behind the flange and jacking screws against
cover "E" until rollers of bearing "D" are dear of outer race and replace chuck.

4. Kemove two halves of ring "A" after taking out screws "B". Take care not to bruise
faces of ring,

5. Tighten nut "e" and at same time turn spindle to squeeze out oil from front bearing
until chuck can only just be moved by chuck key. Knock inner race of bearing "D"
forward so that rollers clear outer race,

6. Measure new distance "X". Add to this size ·007 in. and subtract the sum from first
measurement of '·X". The remainder is the amount to be machined off the width of split
ring. The ring faces must be parallel to -0005 in.

7. Slacken nut "e" two turns and knock back the bearing "D" until split ring can be replaced
and lightly fastened.

8. Tighten nut "e" until torgue to turn spindle steadily is 67-77 lb. in. A new hole for the
dog point of the set screw in nut "e" may be reqUired. Tighten screws uB".

Note the constant ·007 in. gives the clearance for oil film thickness of ·00037 in. in the front
bearing. and correct torque ensures a proper bearing temperature .

ADJ USTMENT (Continued)

NUT "C"

ROLLER BEARING SPINDLE

To obtain correct adjustment of taper roller bearings 62 and 63 (see spare parts sheet):­

Remove set screw in nut 61 and adjust nut until torgue to turn spindle is 50.70 lb. in.
The torq ue can be measured by the pull on a light spring balance attached to a string
carried round the lathe chuck, turning the spindle slowly.

2. A new hole for the dog point of the set screw in nut 61 may be required.

The torgue given above should not be exceeded as this may cause overheating of the bearings.

GENERAL
Inspect contacts at regular intervals. Do not
lubricate the contacts. The contacts arc designed to
operate with a self-wiping action. They are designed
t!} .,presenre this action whilst wearing. Do not interfere
'\ con tacts. If the contactor remains (mergised
k. long periods and docs not open at least once in eight
hours copper contacts may heat up. If this happens,
repJace the contacts with silver-faced contacts.
Contacts must be renewed before they become
excessively worn. (Sec Fig. 4.)
If the arc shields become burnt they should be
renewed before the metal pole-pieces become exposed.
Lubricate lhe contactor shaft occasionally.
Keep the faces of the magnet clean and free from
grease.
See Information Sheet 82400S3 for Air Timer when
tilted.
