PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
•
Keep the unit clean and free of dust by wiping with a cloth or vacuuming off any woodchips or dust after
each use.
•
All bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated and no further lubrication is required.
•
Regular applications of a surface protectant/lubricant will help prevent rust and keep the tool rest, head, and
tailstock sliding smooth on the bedway.
• Periodically inspect the power cord and plug for damage. Replace the power cord and the plug at the first
signs of visible damage.
RECOMMENDED OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
A large range of optional aftermarket accessories can be used with this lathe. Your local dealer may be able to
offer suggestions based on what is readily available in your area.
Key issues to keep in mind when shopping for aftermarket accessories are:
Headstock and tailstock feature a MT#2 taper – to avoid damaging the lathe use only headstock and tailstock
centers with a matching taper.
Headstock spindle threads are 1" diameter x 8 threads per inch (T.P .I.) – to avoid stripping or damaging the
threads, use only threaded headstock attachments (such as face plates and jaw chucks) that have matching
threads.
We also offer a large variety of products to help you increase convenience, productivity, accuracy and safety
when using your wood lathe Here's a small sampling of optional accessories available from your local General
