Page 17: Mounting
Mounting Once you have confirmed that your machine is running properly, you may decide to mount it to a workbench. Remove the adjustable feet and mount it through the holes in the base. The strongest mounting option is a "Through Mount" where holes are drilled all the way through the workbench, and hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to secure the machine to the workbench. -

BASIC CONTROLS This manual describes the basic operation of this machine and is no substitute for training and experience. If you have never used this type of machine or equipment before, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you get formal training from an experienced lathe operator, read books, or trade magazines, before beginning any projects. -
Page 24: Changing Speed Ranges
CHANGING SPEED RANGES The variable speed motor allows the spindle speed to vary within three separate ranges. For greater speed variations, the belt in the headstock can be repositioned. A label on the top of the headstock illustrates the belt positions and their speeds. 1. -
Page 25: Live Center Removal And Installation
5. Move the belt tension lever down, adjusting tension so that when the belt is pressed with moderate force, 1/2" of belt deflection is measured (D). Then tighten belt tension lever screw. 6. Close the rear covers. Fig 12 LIVE CENTER REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION 1. -
Page 26: Adjusting Tailstock
ADJUSTING TAILSTOCK The tailstock is equipped with a cam-action clamping system to secure it to the lathe bed. When the lever is engaged, a locking plate lifts and secures the tailstock to the bed. 1. Verify the ON/OFF switch is OFF and the Lockout Key is REMOVED. -
Page 27: Spur Center Removal And Installation
SPUR CENTER REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION The spur center installs into the headstock spindle with a taper fit. 1. Unplug or disconnect lathe from power source and lock out power. 2. Insert the tapered end of the center into the spindle, and push it in quickly and firmly. -
Page 28: Faceplate Removal And Installation
FACEPLATE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION Removal 1. Unplug or disconnect lathe from power source and lock out power. 2. If installed, remove the spur center. 3. Hold the headstock spindle wheel (A) securely and turn the faceplate (B) counterclockwise until it is removed. -
Page 29: Outboard Turning
Outboard Turning This lathe is equipped with a detachable outboard turning attachment. This provides additional clearance for a greater variety of turning tasks. Follow the Faceplate mounting instructions to mount a workpiece to the spindle handwheel for outboard turning. The method for attaching a workpiece to the spindle is the same for both turning methods. -
Page 30: Operation
OPERATION The following directions will give the inexperienced operator a beginning point for common lathe operations. Practice on scrap material before attempting serious work. CAUTION: Always wear proper personal protection equipment, including but not limited to, safety eye protection with side shields, face shield, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from, chips, dust, burrs, and slivers. - Page 31 • Skew Chisel—A very versatile tool that can be used for planing, squaring, V-cutting, beading, and parting off. The skew chisel is flat, double- ground with one side higher than the other (usually at an angle of 20-40˚). Figure 25 shows an example of a skew chisel.
-
Page 32: Spindle Turning
SPINDLE TURNING Working with any material that is attached to the lathe centers is called a spindle turning. This is the principal type of wood turning (chair and table legs, lamp stems, etc.) The turning of spindles can be done with either a scraping or cutting technique. The cutting technique, by virtue of faster wood removal and a cleaner surface, is the preferred method. - Page 33 The diagonal method, Fig. 29, consists of drawing lines from corner to corner, with the intersection marking the center of the work. Fig 29 After marking each end, mark the true center with a punch awl or dividers (Fig. 30). If the stock is hardwood, the centers should be drilled to a depth of about 1/8”.
-
Page 34: Tool Rest Position
Tool Rest Position Mount the tool rest in place about 1/8” away from the work and 1/8” above the work centerline (Fig. 33). This position may be varied to suit the work and the operator. Place a guide mark on the tool rest shank as an aid to quick and accurate resetting. -
Page 35: Position Of Hands
1. The tool may be advanced along the work either from right to left or from left to right. Left to right (from headstock to tailstock) is preferred since this action throws chips clear of the operator. 2. The gouge is rolled over slightly in the same direction it is advancing. 3. -
Page 36: Smoothing A Cylinder
Smoothing a Cylinder To smooth a cylinder, use a large skew chisel. This requires practice, but experience with this tool is very important. Place the cutting point near the center of chisel and high on the work (Fig. 39). Sometimes, in striving for a certain position in relation to the work, the beginner will often overlook this all-important point. -
Page 37: Faceplate Turning
FACEPLATE TURNING Faceplate turning is when a workpiece is mounted to the faceplate, which is mounted to the headstock spindle. This type of turning is usually done with open- faced workpieces such as bowls. Fig. 41. If screws cannot be placed into the workpiece, then a backing block must be glued to the workpiece and attached to the faceplate with screws. -
Page 38: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on the machine. Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel. Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery. Maintenance on your lathe should be done at periodic intervals to ensure that the machine is in good working order. -
