Wood lathe Wood turning lathes are typically used to shape wood into cylindrical profiles. Objects made on a wood lathe include such items as furniture legs, lamp posts, baseball bats, bowls and other ornamental forms. Wood lathe tooling consists of fixturing and securing devices for the work piece, a moveable tool rest, and hand-held cutting tools in the form of long handled gouges, skews, scrapers, and parting tools.

Locking the lathe It is strongly recommended that the lathe is never left unattended in the unlocked condition. To lock the machine it is recommended that a cover (not supplied) is made to lock the control panel. We have supplied two concepts for locking the panel (see below). The cover can be made from wood or plastic, two covers (not supplied) are made to lock the control panels on both headstock and remote controller.
Laguna Tools guarantees all new machines sold to be free of manufacturer's defective workmanship, parts, and materials. We will repair or replace, without charge, any parts determined by Laguna Tools, Inc. to be a manufacturer's defect. We require the defective item/part to be returned to Laguna Tools. In...
Noise Emission. Equivalent A-weighted Sound pressure level according to EN ISO 3746: 75.66 dB(A) Uncertainty, K in decibels: 4.0 dB (A) according to EN ISO 4871 The figure quoted is emission levels and are not necessarily safe working levels. Whilst there is a correlation between the emission and exposure levels, this cannot be used reliably to determine whether or not further precautions are required.

Introduction to lathes. This machine is designed to give you years of safe service. Read this owner's manual in its entirety before assembly or use. Parts of the lathe. The lathe consists of a number of major parts, which are discussed in this manual. Take the time to read this section and become familiar with the machine.

Lathe legs. The Legs are cast iron, and their heavy construction gives the machine a low center of gravity and ensures that it is very stable. The legs are supplied with adjustable feet to allow the machine to be leveled. Legs with adjustable feet assembled Head stock.
Page 16
Headstock removed from the Head or remote selection switch Tail stock. The tail stock is of cast iron construction, and the spindle has a travel of 4 1/2 in. It can accommodate centers and other tools which have a number 2 Morse Taper. The tail stock can be moved to any position on the lathe bed and locked to suit the job at hand.

Tool rest assembled to the bed Tool rest Electrical system. 220V: The electrical control system (VFD) is housed at the back of the head stock, The VFD converts single phase 220v to three phase. There is a speed readout at the front of the lathe with controls to fine adjust the RPM of the spindle.
Where to locate your machine. Before you remove your machine from the packaging, select the area where you will use your machine. There are no hard and fast rules for its location, but below are a few guidelines: 1. There should be sufficient area at the front of the machine to allow you to work on it comfortably.

Second leg Top packaging removed 2. Open the box and remove the parts sent with the lathe including the first leg. Note. The legs are heavy and caution must be exercised. They are cast iron and if dropped they will break. 3.
Assembly and setup. The machine comes mostly assembled. You will have to assemble the legs, headstock, tailstock, tool storage and the tool rest to the bed of the machine. Note. It is recommended that the head stock, tool rest and tailstock be removed from the bed of the lathe to ease assembly (Covered later in the manual).
Page 24
Lay the bed on 2" X 4" timbers in the upside down position. Lift the legs to the vertical position and lower them onto the bed. Secure with the fixing screws provided. Note. At least two people will be needed to perform the assembly, one to hold the leg in position and one to fit the fixing screws.
Page 25
Assembled lathe If you decide to fit the tool rest after fitting the tail stock, follow the below procedure. Fit the tool rest onto the bed of the lathe ensuring that the washer recess fits into the slot in the bed. Fit the banjo onto the bed with the bolt through the washer and assemble the nut onto the thread.

Tool rest clamp handle Washer assembled in position Banjo clamp handle Fitting the stock knob. Screw the tail stock knob onto the tail stock handle. Tail stock knob Tail stock handle Connecting the electrical supply. Ensure that the electrical supply corresponds with that of the machine (Single phase 220V).
Page 27
Fitting the remote controller. The remote controller can be fitted in either of two positions, attached to the tail stock or attached to the tailstock leg. Fitting the remote controller to the tailstock leg. 1. Fit the support plate to the bed by removing the two clamp bolts and with the two clamp screws secure the support plate.
Page 28
Note. The headstock can only be controlled by one controller and you must select which controller is used by selecting with the controller selection switch. Controller selection switch Cleaning the machine. Remove the rust protection grease with WD 40 or a similar solvent. It is important that you remove all the grease and re-lubricate with a Teflon-based lubricant.

Fitting the rotating center. Rotating center Ensure that the bore of the tail stock is clean. The rotating center has a number 2 Morse Taper that fits into the tail stock. Push the center into the tail stock bore firmly, and ensure that it is securely located.

Emergency stop button Start / stop buttons Speed display Forward / reverse switch Variable speed adjustment knob Head stock clamp lever Head stock clamp lever. The head stock clamp lever allows the head stock to be released and moved to any position on the lathe bed.
Page 32
Variable speed adjustment knob. Increase speed Decrease speed The Variable speed adjustment knob adjusts the spindle speed. Turns clockwise to increase the speed, turns counter-clockwise to decrease the speed High / low speed. The lathe has two sets of pulleys for high (135 - 3500 RPM) and low (50 - 1300 RPM) speed ranges.

Pulleys and drive belt Pulley cover Motor lock handle Motor adjustment handle Indexing the spindle. The spindle has 3 sets of indexing holes 14 / 36 / 48. The selection plunger is located at the end of the head stock. To move between the 3 sets of holes, loosen the clamp knobs and slide the indexing plunger assembly to align with the selected hole set.
Maintenance. General. Keep your machine clean. At the end of each day, clean the machine. Wood contains moisture, and if sawdust or wood chips are not removed they will cause rust. In general, we recommend that you only use a Teflon-based lubricant on the lathe. Regular oil attracts dust and dirt.
Page 36
the tailstock should be slid along the bed to check for any area that it binds in the bed slot. The same procedure as above should be conducted on the head stock should it be required. Note. It is very unlikely that the headstock will require adjustment as it is not moved as often as the tailstock, so has less tendencies for ware.
Page 37
Center point alignment. The tailstock has two clamp screws that are accessible from the top of the tailstock. The clamp screws hold the slide plate to the tailstock casting. There is clearance in the holes that allows the tailstock to be moved in relation to the slide plate. The headstock also has two clamp screws, but one is accessible from under the headstock.
Troubleshooting. Lathe will not start. 1. Check that the start switch is in the correct position. 2. Check that the electrical power cord is plugged into the power outlet. 3. Check that the electrical supply is on (reset the breaker). 4.
Page 39
Machine vibrates. 1. Machine not level on the floor. Re-level the machine ensuring that it has no movement. 2. Damaged drive belt. Replace the belt. 3. Job is not balanced. Change to slower speed and/ or balance the job. 4. Damaged pulley. Replace the pulley. 5.
