    ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS ASSEMBLING STAND (OPTIONAL) Attach the two long tie bars (A) Fig. 3 (with flanges up) to the center of each stand leg (B) by using eight carriage bolts through the legs and tie bars, secured by flat wash- ers, lockwashers, and hex nuts.

    CAUTION: The lathe bed is heavy. Have someone help lift it on the stand. Position the lathe bed so that the holes in the lathe bed are directly above the holes in the stand. Secure the lathe bed to the stand using the eight M8 x 35mm Hex head screws (A) Fig.
  • Page 7 TOOL REST To position the tool rest on the lathe bed, lift up clamp handle (C) Fig. 17, move the tool rest base to the desired position and lock in place by pushing down on handle (C). To adjust the tool rest (A) Fig. 17 to the correct height, loosen locking lever (D), move tool rest (A) up or down and tighten locking lever (D) The 46-715 has a unique feature in this tool rest.
  • Page 8 STARTING AND STOPPING THE TOOL The switch (A) Fig. 21 provides electrical power to the tool. To start the tool, lift the safety cover (B) and lift the switch to the “ON” position. To stop the tool, push the safety cover (B) down. NOTE: IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, IMMEDIATELY PUSH THE SAFETY COVER (B) DOWN TO SHUT OFF POWER.
  • Page 9 OPERATION The following directions will give the inexperienced operator a beginning point for common lathe operations. Practice on scrap material before attempting serious work. LATHE TOOLS Standard wood turning tools come in several different configurations (Fig. 26). The majority of turnings will require the gouge tool (A) Fig.
  • Page 10 After marking each end, mark the true center with a punch awl or dividers (Fig. 29). If the stock is hardwood, the centers should be drilled to a depth of about 1/8". The spur or live center is then placed against one end of the work and seated by striking with a mallet (Fig.
  • Page 11 ROUGHING A CYLINDER The large gouge is used in the first turning operation by smoothing the sharp corners of the work. Run the lathe at low speed and hold the gouge in the manner shown in Fig. 33 The cut starts about 2 inches from the tailstock end and continues from this point to the end of the tail- stock.
  • Page 12 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 the chisel and high on the work (Fig. 38). Sometimes, in striv- ing for a certain position in relation to the work, the beginner will often overlook this all-important point.
  • Page 13 CUTTING A SHOULDER Use the parting tool first to reduce the wood to within 1/16" of the required shoulder and diameter (Fig. 43). Clean the waste stock out with the gouge (Fig. 44), then use the skew for the actual cutting of the shoulder (Fig. 45), which is a duplication of squaring an end.
  • Page 14 VEE GROOVES Cutting the vee groove demands much the same technique as the bead, except the skew is hinged straight into the work without rotation (Fig. 51). Only one-half of the vee is made at a time, and one, two, or more cuts may be needed on each side to obtain the desired shape.
  • Page 15 The gouge is placed on edge on the tool rest so that the grind of the chisel forms an approximate right angle with the work (Figs. 57). The chisel contacts the work at the center of the cutting edge. Hold the tool so that the centerline of the gouge is pointing directly toward the center of the revolving stock.
  • Page 16 FACEPLATE TURNING Mount turnings that cannot be worked between centers on a faceplate. The greater part of this type of turning is done with the faceplate mounting, although there are a number of jobs which require special chucks. All cutting in faceplate work is done by scraping. Any attempt to use a cutting technique on the edge grain of large work will result in a hogging, gouging cut which may jerk the chisel out of the hands of the operator.
  • Page 17 The tool rest with the auxiliary extension can be placed in several different angles and positions. Select the one best suited for your work. Fig. 67 shows the position normally used for bowls and other outboard turnings. To move the tool rest on the bed, loosen the handle (A) Fig.
  • Page 18 MAINTENANCE REPLACING DRIVE BELT Remove the four screws (A) Fig. 71 (three of which are shown) to take the back off of the headstock. Fig. 71 Use a #5 Allen wrench to remove the three screws (A) Fig. 72. Slide the spindle handle out. Pull the spindle lock to the out position (see Fig.
