Bill did you not get a manual with the lathe or no info on the D1-4
camlock chuck release. I can scan the details for my Harrison M300 if
you want. The M300 details basically shows an alignment mark on the cam
piece and the spindle has a release mark at 12 o'clock when looking at
the cam piece. When these are aligned the chuck can be removed. The
spindle also has an arrow at 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock and the cam piece
alignment mark must sit between these marks for proper retainment of the
chuck. Also noted is that the M300 has a mark on the spindle and the
chuck should be marked so that the chuck always goes back at the same
place. If the cam piece alignment mark isn't between the arrows the
camlock studs must be screwed in or out as appropriate so that the
alignment mark falls between the arrows.
