Help with 3520B
John Kaner
Are there supposed to be exposed threads between the hand wheel and headstock? The set screws are tight... Is it slippage over time, like a Jet Mini?
Loosen set screws and thread hand wheel closer, tighten set screws...
Any help is appreciated!

It's been a long time since I had the handwheel off my 3520A but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with bearing or spindle tension like on the Jet mini. I'm pretty sure there was a separate threaded locking ring that you tension. Here is their parts list on the B series and seems to match what I remember on my A series.

Hi, I just went and looked at mine. I can see the crown of four threads between the locking ring and the handwheel.

Thank you John for the diagram and James info on your lathe.
