If you go to http://www.axminster.co.uk/manuals/ choose woodturning then near the bottom of the list is the manual.

To get that piece out which is a drive centre you put a bar in the other side of the headstock and knock it out, it is all explained in the manual.

just tried to download the manual , all i get is oops page not found , it only happens on the perform ccsl link though , all the other manual links work , maybe they do not do a manual for this lathe anymore
would downloading the ccl manual help at all ?

Yes it would, I can't remember what the differences are but I believe that all the basic aspects are the same.

No question is stupid only the one you don't ask.

I know many will say here we go again but they will still answer when they can so ask away. Being new to turning get a copy of Keith Rowley's book "Woodturning A Foundation course" also find a club local to you where you can get hands on with other turners.
