About the Lathe
This tool makes it easy to create perfectly round wheels for your CO 2
dragsters and other model cars. The Wheel Lathe is designed for use
with standard-size dragster wheels (approximately 35 to 40 mm).
Caution: Do not use with Delrin wheels.
Using the Lathe
1. Make sure the lathe is set on a
solid surface such as a desk or
counter and plug it into a 120 V
wall outlet.
2. Remove the carriage (Figure 1).
3. Install the wheel on the
wheel arbor so the inside of
the wheel is facing the lathe
(Figure 2).
4. Put the carriage back on the
two posts below the wheel
arbor on the lathe, placing it
over the wheel (Figure 3).
5. Adjust the dial on the carriage
so the cutting tip is almost
touching the wheel. Turn
the dial clockwise to move
closer to the wheel and
counterclockwise to move
farther from the wheel.
