Installing the face plate: Ensure the two locking grub screws are backed out until they do not protrude past Fig.
- Page 22 WL-B1420P ADJUSTMENTS SETTING UP THE Fig. H1 HEADSTOCK SPUR CENTRE Installing the spur centre: Make sure the mating surfaces of both the spur centre and the headstock spindle are clean. You can use an acetone-moistened cloth to remove any other debris, oil, etc.

- Page 24 WL-B1420P ADJUSTMENTS INDEXING Fig. J1 Indexing is used to create evenly spaced features around the circumference of the workpiece while keeping the spindle locked. There are 24 index positions in the spindle pulley, each 15° apart, to help you rotate the workpiece evenly for accurately spaced features.
- Page 25 WL-B1420P ADJUSTMENTS Always start at slower speeds for rough cuts and Fig. K2 larger workpieces. Use faster speeds for refined cuts and detailed work. Set the suitable speed range for your operation by adjusting the belt position. Change the speed within a speed range using the speed adjustment knob.

Page 26: Operation
WL-B1420P ADJUSTMENTS SPEED RECOMMENDATIONS • High range is best when turning a workpiece where a clean finish is required and only light cuts are made. • Mid range is a compromise between high and low ranges. • Low range, which has more torque, is best when turning a workpiece where a lot of material must be removed and a rough finish does not matter. - Page 27 WL-B1420P OPERATION Adjust the tool rest according to the type of operation, and set a minimum clearance between the workpiece and the lip of tool rest to 6 mm gap. Rotate the workpiece by hand to verify the spindle and workpiece rotate freely throughout full range of motion.
- Page 28 WL-B1420P OPERATION To help embed the spur centre into the Fig. M2 workpiece, cut 3 mm deep saw kerfs in the WORKPIECE CENTRE headstock end of the workpiece along the diagonal lines marked in step 1. If your workpiece is over 50 x 50 mm, cut the...
- Page 29 WL-B1420P OPERATION ROUGHING OUT CUT Roughing out is the first step of the lathe operation, which uses the large roughing gouge tool to smooth out sharp corners to make the workpiece cylindrical. When roughing out a workpiece, run the lathe at low speed and always cut downhill, from the large diameter side of the workpiece to the small diameter side.
- Page 30 WL-B1420P OPERATION CREATING BEADS Making a parting cut for the desired depth and location of your bead. Place the parting tool on the tool rest and move the tool forward to make the full bevel of the tool come into contact with the workpiece. Gently raise the handle to make cuts of the appropriate depth.
- Page 31 WL-B1420P OPERATION Use sandpaper finer than 120 grit, as coarse sandpaper may scratch the workpiece. Fold the sandpaper into a pad will allow easier and safer sanding. Do not wrap the sandpaper around your fingers or the workpiece. Apply light pressure to the workpiece during sanding. Use power-sanding techniques to avoid concentric sanding marks around your finished piece.
- Page 32 WL-B1420P OPERATION Shaping the inside of a bowl or plate Turn off the lathe and move the tailstock out of the way. Mount the workpiece onto the face plate and install the face plate on to the headstock. Adjust the tool rest in front of the workpiece to be just below the centreline and at the right angle to the lathe’s turning axis.
