SECTION 1: SAFETY For Your Own Safety Read Instruction Manual Before Operating This Equipment The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.
Safety Instructions For Power Tools 9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or tool nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.
Additional Safety Instructions For The Lathe 1. MAKE SURE ALL GUARDS are in place and that the lathe sits on a flat, stable surface. 2. BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE be certain the workpiece has been properly engaged in the chuck and tailstock center (if in use) and that there is adequate clearance for full rotation. 3. 4. 5. ADJUST TOOL HOLDER to provide proper support for the turning tool you will be using. Test tool holder clearance by rotating workpiece by hand before turning lathe on.
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS 220V Operation Grounding The Model G4002/3 is wired for 220 volt, single phase operation. The 2 HP motor will safely draw 9 amps at 220V. A 10-amp fuse or circuit breaker should be used when connecting this metal lathe. Circuits rated any higher are not adequate to protect the motor. In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance to disperse electric current.
SECTION 3: INTRODUCTION Commentary We are proud to offer the Grizzly Model G4002 / G4003 Gear Head Metal Lathe. The Model G4002 / G4003 is part of a growing Grizzly family of fine metalworking machinery. When used according to the guidelines set forth in this manual, you can expect years of trouble-free, enjoyable operation and proof of Grizzly’s commitment to customer satisfaction. The Model G4002/3 is a precision metalworking lathe.
Unpacking Piece Inventory This Metal Lathe is shipped from the manufacturer in a carefully packed crate. If you discover the machine is damaged after you’ve signed for delivery, and the truck and driver are gone, you will need to file a freight claim with the carrier. Save the containers and all packing materials for possible inspection by the carrier or its agent. Without the packing materials, filing a freight claim can be difficult.
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, like Grizzly’s G7895 Citrus Engine Degreaser. Avoid chlorine-based solvents as they may damage painted surfaces should they come in contact. Always follow the usage instructions on the product you choose for clean up.
SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY & SETUP Mounting Chucks This lathe should be securely mounted to a stand or bench top. An accessory stand is available from Grizzly, please see our current catalog for pricing. There are 2 holes in the base at the tailstock end of the lathe and four holes on the gearhead end which can be used to secure the machine to a stand. The Model G4002/3 Metal Lathe comes equipped with a 6'' 3-jaw chuck (already installed), a 8'' 4jaw chuck and a face plate.
To remove a chuck: 1. Place a piece of plywood across the lathe bed and position it just under the chuck. The board should be at least 8" wide and 10" long. 3. Turn the other cams in the same way. Make sure to support the chuck with one hand as you align the last cam. The chuck may come off at this point so it is important you are ready to support its weight. 4. Remove the chuck key. Never leave a chuck key in the chuck when it is not in use.
Live Center Steady Rest The live center is used to support stock which is too long to be supported by the chuck alone. Stock protruding more than three times its diameter should be supported by the live center. The steady rest supports long, small diameter stock that otherwise could not be turned. The steady rest can also replace the tailstock to allow for cutting tool access at the outboard end of your workpiece. To mount the steady rest: 1. Secure to bedway from below with the locking plate. 2.
Follow Rest 2. Mount the back plate on the spindle. 3. The follow rest is normally used with small diameter stock to prevent the workpiece from “springing” under pressure from the turning tool. To install the follow rest: Accurately measure the inside of the back relief bore on the 4-jaw chuck. This dimension is critical, ± .001''. 4. Face the back plate to true it. Make passes across the face until its entire surface has been cut. 1. The follow rest is secured to the saddle with two cap screws.
SECTION 5: CONTROLS Spindle Speeds Never change speeds while spindle or motor is in motion. The speed of the spindle is controlled by the positions of the speed control knobs. See Figure 7. By positioning the knobs using the chart in Figure 8, you can achieve all of these speed ranges: 70, 200, 220, 270, 360, 600, 800, 1000 and 1400 RPM. Figure 8. Speed chart. The chart above shows the various combinations of knob positions for achieving a desired speed.
Feed Direction Selecting the Feed Rod Never move selection levers while machine is running. The feed rod can be selected by rotating the handle to the left as in Figure 10. Use this position for all feeding operations. When the lever is positioned straight up, no drive device is selected and the gear train is in neutral after this point. The G4002/3 Metal Lathe can cut left or right while feeding or threading and across both ways for facing operations.
Figure 11. Feed rate selector levers. Important: Do not force any selection lever on the machine. If the lever will not engage, rotate the chuck by hand while keeping light pressure on the selector. As the chuck rotates, it aligns the gears and the selector will engage. To change the position of the feed selector, pull the knurled handle. This disengages a pin which is inserted into a selection hole.
Thread Selection Inch thread selection: To cut threads with inch pitches, a selection must be made for feed direction, pitch and lead screw. Select the desired direction of cut as described in the section titled Feed Direction. Rotate the Feed/Lead Screw selection lever to the position shown in Figure 14. If the lever does not readily engage, rotate the lead screw or the chuck by hand while maintaining gentle pressure on the lever.
NOTICE The threading dial cannot be used when cutting metric threads. Once the half nut has been engaged, it must remain engaged throughout the threading process. Half Nut Lever - This lever compresses and releases the half nut that engages the leadscrew. See Figure 16. The lever is only engaged while turning threads in stock. A lockout device featured in the lever mechanism engages when the feed selector is used. NOTICE Do not simultaneously engage the feed lever and the threading lever.
Metric thread selection: The chart in Figure 17 lists 29 metric threads that can be cut on the G4002/3. Five ranges are used on the left hand quick change selector and 6 on the right hand quick change selector. Additionally, 5 gear changes are necessary to accomplish all of the available metric threads. These gear changes take place on the left hand end of the machine. See Figure 18. The chart is divided into 3 main sections or columns.
Thread Selection Cont. Metric threading requires 5 gear changes to achieve all of the available pitches listed on the chart. Refer to Figure 19 while reading the instructions below. 5. Slide the middle gear until it is in mesh with the G Gear. Tighten the cap screw at the center. 6. Pivot the bracket until the middle gear is in mesh with gear F and tighten the nut below. To change gears: 1. Loosen the nut below the middle gear and rotate the bracket so the middle gear moves away from gear F. 2.
Carriage Controls The carriage handwheel allows the cutting tool to move along the length of the lathe bed. The cross slide allows the cutting tool to travel perpendicular to the bed. The carriage features a top slide which allows linear movement of the cutting tool at any preset angle. This section will review the individual controls on the carriage and provide descriptions of their uses. See Figure 20. Cross Slide Handwheel - The Cross Slide Handwheel moves the top slide toward and away from the work.
Tool Post and Holder Tailstock Controls Tool post - A quick change tool post and 2 tool holders are supplied with the Model G4002/3. Figure 22 shows tool post and a holder with optional bit. Cutting tools can be secured and removed by tightening or loosening the clamping screws in the top of the holder. A threaded stud is mounted in the top of the holder and has a knurled thumb wheel. Rotating the thumb wheel allows for adjustment of the tool holder so the cutting tool can be centered.
Test Run Always make sure the power switch is in the “OFF” position and the spindle control lever is in the neutral position before plugging in power cord. If the direction is reversed, contact our service department for further instructions. 5. If the lathe is running correctly, lift the spindle control lever to the neutral position, wait for the machine to come to a complete stop and take some time to become familiar with the various controls.
SECTION 6: ADJUSTMENTS Gibs There are three main gib adjustments for the Model G4002/3. They are: the cross-slide gib, the compound slide gib and the saddle gib. Cross-slide Gib - The gib on the cross-slide is adjusted by the two screws located at each end. See Figure 25. To adjust, loosen the setscrew located along the edge of the cross-slide. This setscrew is provided for locking the slide for certain operations.
Saddle Gib - The saddle is supplied with a square head bolt on the front right hand side of the slide. Before making adjustments to the saddle gib, ensure that this bolt is loose by turning it counter clockwise. See Figure 26b. It is important that the apron gib be properly adjusted. A loose gib will cause finish problems in a workpiece. A gib adjusted too tightly will cause premature wear. The gib for the saddle is located on the bottom of the back edge of the slide.
Tailstock The tailstock on the Model G4002/3 is aligned at the factory with the headstock. It is recommended that you take the time to ensure that the tailstock is aligned to your own desired tolerances. To align the tailstock: 1. Center drill a 6'' long piece of bar stock on both ends. Set it aside for use in step 4. 2. Make a dead center by turning a shoulder to make a shank. Flip the piece over in the chuck and turn a 60° point. See Figure 28.
If the stock is thinner at the tailstock end, the tailstock needs to be moved away from the operator by at least the amount of the taper. See Figure 31. NOTICE Do Not forget to lock down the tailstock after each adjustment. Adjustment Screw Lock Screw Figure 31. Adjusting for tailstock end taper. 7. Loosen the tailstock mounting bolt. Adjust the tailstock offset by the amount of the taper by turning the adjustment setscrews. See Figure 32. Turn another .010'' off of the stock and check for taper.
SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE ALWAYS disconnect the electric power to the machine before servicing. NEVER lubricate your lathe while it is running. Lubrication Your Model G4002/3 will function best when it is clean and well lubricated. Take the time to wipe down and oil the machine after use. We recommend using ISO 68 or SAE 20W non-detergent oil unless otherwise specified. Figure 34. External gears and port.
Slides and Ways - Apply oil to the ways and slides after each use. Wipe the ways with a clean rag prior to lubrication to ensure that no grime is carried along with your lubricant into friction-sensitive areas. Applying oil to the bedways and other bare metal parts also protect the lathe from rust and pitting. Lead Screw and Feed Rod - Be sure to clean and lubricate the leadscrew, feed rod and switch control rod.
