I just received and set up my new Nova DVR XP. Why is there no knock out rod? Is there a trick I don't know about. I've been using old jet rod for now.
I was turning a spindle on the jet when new machine arrived. Took it off jet and put on Nova...can't believe the difference...no vibration or noise. YEE HA
Thanks

Em.. I got one with mine
The posting date suggest its probably hidden somewhere....
You should have received a bar to loosen the headstock lockdown to rotated the headstock. That is also the knockout bar.

Must be in the box somewhere?
I don't use mine, though...
Not sure which jet you have, but I prefer the rod from my Jet 1442 over the one that came with the Nova.. The rod from the Jet works fine and is lighter, easier to store/handle and they put a KNOB on the end.. lol
I've found that the handiest place to store it, since it has a KNOB, (very small peeve), is to drop it through one of the holes in the headstock lock.. Keeps it out of the way and since the most common use I have for the rod is to turn the lock, I can always find it ;-]
Enjoy your lathe... It's a great one..

Please remove splinters before emailing
I finally figured that out !!
Thanks Fred,
