Hi, all . I have a craftex cx709 lathe but can't seem to find the plug to drain the headstock. I was wondering if someone could help me out.? Thanks

BB has the manual online.

It looks like P/N 15 is the drain plug.

Ya, but try and find part #15 in the exploded parts view... I couldn't.

It looks like it's buried behind the gear, I will have have to take a closer look and see.

Yes the manuals are not very clear, looks as thought it's hidden behind the gears. I will post a picture once I find where it at for sure

The P/N looks like a 10 or 60 fitting into the left/bottom of the headstock. I''ll see if I can download and mark the picture, this computer stuff isn't my forte but I'll give it a shot.

The print quality of the manual absolutely sucks. They must use the cheapest 50dpi printer on the market.

Anyway, good that you found the plug.

Be happy you didn't get the 10 dpi, low-res version.

At least it has a tailstock!
