Clean Up The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts may need to be removed. For optimum performance from your machine, make sure you clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces that are coated.
PAGE 15
Mounting Lathe To mount the lathe bed: 1. Move the stand to where you plan to locate the lathe. 2. Using a forklift, lift the lathe bed onto the stand by placing the lifting straps through the center of the bed and around the casting webs, as shown in Figure 5. The strap closest to the headstock should be wrapped around the forklift forks a few times to compensate for the heavier weight load on that side. The Model G0456 is an extremely heavy machine.

PAGE 17
Dust Collection Test Run Once the assembly is complete, test run the lathe to make sure it runs properly. DO NOT operate the Model G0456 disc sander without an adequate dust collection system. Sanding creates substantial amounts of fine dust. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short- and long-term respiratory illness. Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 100 CFM Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector.
PAGE 18
SECTION 4: OPERATIONS Operation Safety Safety Key To prevent unexpected starting, remove the safety key (Figure 10) to disable the paddle switch. Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could result from using this machine without proper protective gear. Always wear safety glasses, a respirator, and hearing protection when operating this machine. Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing and long hair away from moving machinery.

When the lever is tightened, a locking plate lifts up and secures the tool rest to the bed. The tool rest is equipped with a cam-action clamping system to secure it to the lathe bed. When the lever is tightened, a locking plate lifts up and secures the tool rest to the bed. To position the tailstock along the bed: To position the tool rest along the bed: 1.
PAGE 20
Installing/Removing Spur Center The spur center installs in the headstock spindle with a taper fit. To prevent rusting, we recommend removing centers when not in use and coating the tapers with a light layer of lubricant or metal protectant. To install the centers: 1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER! 2. Make sure the tapers are clean and free of any dust or debris. 3. Insert the tapered end of the center into the spindle (see Figure 14), and push it in quickly and firmly. To remove the spur center: 1.
PAGE 21
Installing/Removing Live Center 4. Make sure the keyway is aligned with the set screw and tighten the handle (Figure 17). Note: This alignment allows the quill to engage with the internal threads and move forward under load. Without this alignment, the quill will just spin and not advance forward under load. The live center installs in the tailstock quill with a taper fit.
PAGE 22
Selecting Turning Tools • Lathe tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes and usually fall into five major categories. • Scrapers: Mainly used where access for other tools is limited, such as hollowing operations. This is a flat, double-ground tool that comes in a variety of profiles (Round Nose, Spear Point, Square Nose, etc.) to match many different contours. Figure 20 shows an example of a round nose scraper. Gouges: Mainly used for rough cutting, detail cutting, and cove profiles.
PAGE 23
Spindle Turning Spindle turning (Figure 22) is the operation performed when a workpiece is mounted between the headstock and the tailstock. 2. Using a wood mallet, tap the point of the spur center into the center of the workpiece, so it leaves a center mark, then remove the spur center. 3. Using a 1⁄4" drill bit, drill a 1⁄4" deep hole at the center mark. (Additionally, if the end of your workpiece is square, cut 1⁄8" deep saw kerfs across the corners to help embed the spur center.) 4.
PAGE 24
9. Position the tool rest approximately 1⁄4" away from the workpiece and approximately 1⁄8" above the center line, as shown in Figure 25. Faceplate Turning Faceplate turning (Figure 26) is when a workpiece is mounted to the faceplate, which is mounted to the headstock spindle. This type of turning is usually done with open-faced workpieces like bowls. �� Figure 25. Tool rest set 1⁄8" above the center line and 1⁄4" away from workpiece. 10.
PAGE 25
4. Thread the faceplate onto the headstock spindle and tighten securely. Note: If screws cannot be placed in the workpiece, then a backing block can be glued to the workpiece and attached to the faceplate with screws. To mount your workpiece to a backing block: 1. Make the backing block from a piece of scrap wood that is flat on both sides. 2. Locate and mark the center of both the workpiece and the backing block. 3. Drill a 1⁄4" hole in the center of the backing block. 4.
PAGE 26
Attaching Sandpaper The disc sander accepts 12" diameter cloth or paper-backed PSA sanding discs, which are available through Grizzly (see Page 28). The sanding disc sticks to the surface of the cast iron disc, using the pressure sensitive adhesive backing (PSA) on the reverse side of the sandpaper disc. The sandpaper can be replaced without removing either the table or the dust port. To attach sandpaper: 1.
PAGE 27
Miter Sanding The most efficient way to get a perfect miter is to cut the workpiece slightly long and sand it to the desired dimension. Use the miter gauge to hold the workpiece at the desired angle. To perform miter sanding operations: 1. Loosen the knob on the miter gauge and adjust the angle to the desired point. Tighten the knob. 2. Slide the miter gauge into its slot and use it to hold your workpiece in position.
