Introduction
Use the table that follows for ST and DS lathes with a parts catcher. The table contains this information for each model:
- The size of the opening for the parts-catcher chute.
- The maximum part size.
- The maximum part weight.
| Parts Catcher Option Capacities | |||
| Lathe Model | Catcher Chute Opening | Maximum Part Size | Maximum Part Weight |
| ST-10, ST-10Y | 4.25" (108 mm) wide x 4.25" (108 mm) high | 4.00" (102 mm) length x 4.0" (102 mm) diameter | 10 lb (4.5 kg) |
| ST-20, ST-25, ST-30, ST-35, DS-30 (includes SS, Y, and SSY models) | 6.25" (159 mm) wide x 4.25" (108 mm) high | 6.00" (152 mm) length x 4.0" (102 mm) diameter | 15 lb (6.8 kg) |
| ST-40, ST-45, ST-40L, ST-45L | N/A | N/A | N/A |
note: The minimum distance from the spindle face to the parts catcher, when correctly adjusted, is 6.00" (152 mm). If you use a collet closer on any lathe, the length of the closer body must be a minimum 6.00" (152 mm). This makes sure the parts catcher can extend to the collet.
