PM-1660TL

If you want a manual you can download one from Grizzly under documents, it is the same unit. Many of their SB lathes are made by the same manufacturer. I helped another person install one of these on his 1640, took two of us to lift it and a bear to align. It pays to get it factory installed. I would check on how to use it, I do not recall the specifics on the cross slide lead-screw nut and how to set it up. I have worked with these on a 1440GT. Nice feature, but most people I speak to use them once every couple of years.

I don’t know what this is, and I don’t remember seeing it in the manual. It is attached to the leadscrew and prevents the carriage from moving toward the tailstock. I do not believe that it is part of the taper attachment.

If had to guess, I would say that it is a stop for the clutch mechanism that would prevent the power feed from crashing the carriage in to the tailstock.

My guess it this is a stabilizer for the lead and feed screws when running at high speed to prevent whip due to the long lengths of the screws.

Congrats on receiving the lathe. It looks like a beast and should serve you well. So jealous of the universal gearbox!
 
That is a nice lathe! Congrats!

We have 16,18 and 22 x 60" lathes that do not have that cradle feature, but here it is on our 42" x 100.

Not surprisingly, this large lathe motivated me to move my 8’ long workbench outside. This enabled me to put the welding bench where the 8’ workbench was. This positions the welding bench next to the 220V outlet.

I gave my Grizzly drill press to my friend whose shop burned down.

Here are the 2 workbenches now located on my side yard. I finally get to do all of my messy grinding outside!

So here is the rearranged shop.
