EVS Toolroom Lathes

With the exception of the handwheel handles, the 
lathe is shipped fully assembled.

To install the handwheel handles, thread the 
large handle into the carriage handwheel and the 
small handle into the cross slide handwheel, as 
shown in Figure 13.

To level the machine, use a precision level to 
make sure the bedways are level from side-to-
side and from front-to-back.

— If using the included leveling pads 

(Figure 11), place them under the six 
leveling stud locations, then adjust the 
studs to level the lathe.

— If using mounting hardware that does not 

allow for adjustment, level the lathe by 
placing metal shims between the lathe 
base and the floor before bolting down.

Lag screws and anchors, or anchor studs 
(below), are two popular methods for securing 
machinery to a concrete floor. We suggest you 
research the many options and methods for 
securing your machine and choose the best one 
for your specific application.

The headstock, gearbox, and apron oil reservoirs 
must have the proper amount of oil in them 
before the lathe can be operated for the first 
time.

Running the lathe without oil in a gearbox is 
considered unwarrantable abuse, which may 
result in damage to the bearings and gears. Refer 
to the Lubrication section, beginning on Page 
56, for details on how to check and add oil.
