Spindle Break-In
Before subjecting the lathe to full loads, it 
is essential to complete the spindle break-in 
process as described below. This will ensure the 
best results and maximum life of the precision 
components inside the lathe.
The break-in procedure must be performed 
in succession with the Test Run procedure 
described in this manual, because many of the 
test run steps prepare the lathe controls for the 
break-in process.
Important: Do not perform the break-in 
procedure independently from the Test Run 
section—serious damage could occur to the lathe 
if the controls are set differently than instructed 
in that section.
Do not leave the lathe unattended during the 
Spindle Break-In procedure. If your attention 
is needed elsewhere during this procedure, 
stop the lathe and restart the procedure later 
from the beginning.
5.
  While the oil is still warm and any metal 
particles are still suspended in the oil, 
change the headstock and gearbox oil (refer 
to Lubrication beginning on Page 68 for 
detailed instructions).
6.
  Check the V-belt tension, and if necessary, 
re-tension them (refer to V-Belts on Page 
81
 for detailed instructions).
Congratulations! The spindle break-in is 
complete.
To perform the spindle break-in:
1.
  Successfully complete the Test Run 
procedure beginning on Page 32.
2.
  Using the speed dial on the control panel 
and the spindle speed range lever to set the 
spindle speed, run the lathe for ten minutes 
at each of the following speeds: 55, 180, 600, 
and 1800 RPM.
3.
  Use the foot brake to stop spindle rotation, 
then reverse spindle rotation and run the 
lathe at 1800 RPM for 10 minutes.
4.
  Use the foot brake to stop spindle rotation, 
then run the lathe at 180 RPM for ten 
minutes with the gearbox range lever on the 
headstock in the (low) position, and then 
run the lathe another ten minutes with the 
lever in the high position.
