Page 7: Functional Description
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION FOREWORD The Delta 46-745, 46-746, and 46-765X 16” adjustable speed wood lathes are big capacity machines, designed for industry, commercial shops, and schools, wherever a demand for continued accuracy and long life through safe, heavy- duty operation exists. - Page 8 ATTACHING END CAPS Attach the end caps, (A) Fig. 8, to both ends of the lathe with 1/4-20 x 1/2” button head screws (A) Fig. 9 (out- side) the lathe bed through the end caps to the 1/4-20 flange nut (inside) (B) Fig.
- Page 9 (B) Fig. 10. Attach the Headstock (D) Fig. 11, Tool Rest (E) Fig. 11, and Tailstock (F) Fig. 11 to the lathe bed (G) Fig. 11. Notice the tool and centers storage areas located at (H) Fig.

6. The REVERSE (REV) button is used FOR SANDING PURPOSES ONLY. NOTE: When using the faceplate, be certain that the faceplate locking screw (A) Fig. 23 is tight. NOTE: To remove faceplate, loosen the set screw (A) Fig. 23 two full turns. Use the supplied wrench (B) Fig. -
Page 13: 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 14: Mounting The Work
Place the lubricant on the wood either before or after it is put on the lathe. Many turners use beeswax, tallow, or a wax-and-oil mixture as a lubricant. A ball bearing center is ideal because it eliminates lubricating. -
Page 15: Roughing A Cylinder
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 16: 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. 38). Sometimes, in striv- ing for a certain position in relation to the work, the beginner will often overlook this all-important point. - Page 17 Cutting beads quickly and accurately with the small skew is one of the most difficult lathe operations. Various working methods can be used . The first cut is a vertical incision at the point where the two curved sur- faces will eventually come together.
- Page 18 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 19 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.

3. While holding the motor (A) Fig. 73 with one hand, use a 9/16” wrench (B) to remove nut (C). Lift motor (A) and remove belt from motor pulley. 4. Pull motor (A) Fig. 73 out, bring it around the back of the lathe, and place it on the lathe bed (Fig. 74) turnings. - Page 22 Fig. 75 5. Use a Phillips screwdriver (A) Fig. 75 to remove the five cover screws (B) (three of which are shown). The other two screws are located under the power cords. 6. With a 5/16” Allen wrench (A) Fig 75, remove Allen screw (B) Fig. 76. NOTE: When re-assembling, make sure that the screw passes completely through the pivoting control bracket and into the headstock, allowing the headstock cover to pivot.
