Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist with the lathe fully powered down and the spindle locked before mounting or adjusting any tool post holder. Confirm the parting blade is clamped securely and blade height is set to centerline before beginning a cutoff pass. Refer to the tool post manufacturer guidelines for proper dovetail engagement and locking torque procedures. Follow applicable shop safety standards for cutoff operations, as parting is one of the higher-risk turning operations.
