>How does the spindle lock on a Jet 1014 mini-lathe? Could find nothing in the owners manual and my chuck instructions say to use the lock to remove the chuck.

>There are two holes in the colar of the spindle. Place the end of the knockout bar in one of the holes and rest the other end of the bar against the lathe.

Good luck

I have been turning wood for about 12 years now. I consume about 20 hours a week in front of the lathe making primarly bowls and platters. I keep thinking about making other "stuff" on the lathe, and ocasionaly I even get beyond the thinking part. But I take the most pleasure in bowls and platters. I have most every tool availble for the lathe but I am always looking for a new tool. More than looking for a new tool I am looking for a new hunk of wood. While a corner woodworker (sometimes called flat woodworker) can never have enough clamps, I find most woodturners can never have enough turning stock. The woodturning club I belong to has a Christmas party each year and part of that party is a "grab bag". We bring in a turning, that is judged by the people who come to the party. The people who make the top three turnings get prizes (like sandpaper or a tool). The real prize though is the exchange of turnings that comes from this colection of turnings. Some of my most cherished turned objects are the ones I have recieved from these grab bags.

>If you are locking the spindle to remove something, insert the knock-out rod into the hole in the spindle collar and wedge the knob end against the lathe bed. If you are locking it off and on to divide a turning's circumference, ask again, that's for further discussion. Arch
