Slide tailstock along column until the points of
the two centers nearly meet and then lock
tailstock to column:
Using one hand, rotate the tailstock and column until the two center points are exactly
in line with one another.
Holding the tailstock in this position, securely
tighten the Set Screw, No. 2, fromthe
underside of the headstock.
If necessary,
loosen

Mount the lathe securely on work bench or table
with screws or bolts,
Three _" diameter holes are
provided
for mounting,
two are located in the base
oE the headstock
and one is in the foot,
-This
lathe is so designed
that the motor can be
mounted
on the bench to the rear of the headstock,
or below on a bench shelf with the belt traveling
through a ho|e cut in the bench.
In either position,
-a hinged motor mount will make it easier to change
the beltto different pulley steps Eor changing speeds,
A standard
_" "V" belt is recommended,
To install the belt, slip it through the opening in the
headstock and onto the pulley.
LUBRICATION:
The precision ball bearings used in this lathe have
been packed with grease at the factory. They should
require no further lubrication for the life of the
bearing.
To maintain
smooth efficient operations,
a few drops of light oil should be applied 0cessionally to the tailstock screw and the tailstock ram,
V_/ipe the tubular
lathe bed occasionally with an
oily rag to prevent rust and allow free movement
of the tool rest clamp and tailstock.
SPEED AND ROTATION:
Check the direction of rotation when installing th_
motor.
The spur Center must turn counter clockwise
when viewed from the tailstock end of the lathe.

Undernormal conditiotas, best results will be obtained by using a 1/3 horsepower
1750 R.P,M.
motor. For continuous heavy duty work, a _ horse_ower motor of the same speed is recommended.

Through
the use of this pin, the spindle
may be
held stationary
for various
operations
such as laying
out patterns
and centerlines
on face plate work. The

a means
of spacing

A drilled

to remove
face plates, An
Allen

the same size as the hole, can be inserted
and revolved
until
it bears

This will lock the spindle

With
the index

the latb, e may be
used as a fixture for holding
long twist or spiral work
for the hand finishing
operations,
it is always a good
policy
to double
check all control
units before
applying
power
with a job set up in the lathe,
q_e
operator
should
be sure that the tailstock

locked,
that the tool rest
and toot rest holder are held rigidly in position,
that
the belt is in the right pulley groove
for the speed
desired,
and finally
that the index
pin is retracted
and clear of the pulley.
The set screw, No. 30, in the tailstock
should be
checked
occasionally
to assure
the proper pressure

Major adjustment of distance between centers may
be made by loosening the tailatock lock allowing
the operator to move the tailstock along the tubular
bed to a desired position.
The tailstock 10ck must
be securely tightened
before the work is under
power.
HANDWHEEL:
Minor adjustments
of distance between centers are
made by turning the handwheel
thus moving the
cup center toward or away from the work piece as
desired.
TAILSTOCK RAM LOCK:
As its name indicates, the ram lock holds the ram
in a fixed position so that it will not move and
loosen its grip on the work piece as a result of vibration. The tailstoek
ram must be locked securelyin

centers,

CHISELS:

The five basic types df turning

They are available
vidually,
or in matched
sets.

chisels are shown
in
in various
sizes indi-

in a scraping manner
by
into the work piece with

The round nose chisel is recommended
for cutting
coves in face plate and cylindrical
work.
Like the
spear point, the round nose chisel cuts in a scraping
manner
with the beveled
side down,

The
gouge
chisel
is used for the slower
speed
rough Cutting operations
as well as for finishing
cuts
on irregular
shapes.
The gouge should
be used with
the beveled
edge down.
The chisel should be roiled
slightly
in the direction
in which it is advancing
as
shown in Figure 3.

The parting tool may be used for square
cuts of
many
types:
sizing
cuts
as shown
in Figure
5,
shoulder
cuts, and perhaps
most commonly
for cutting off finished
work as described
later in this sheet.
In addition
to the above mentioned
chisels,
a regular
square
nose chisel is often found
to be quite useful
for certain wood turning
operations.

FIGURE

5

Best quality work is obtained
only when a sharp
edge is maintained
on the cutting tools. When sharpening
the chisels,
grinding
and honing
should
be
done only on the bevels so as to preserve
the original
shape of the chisel. Skew chisels must be flat ground,
not hollow
ground.

FIGURE

OPERATION_

3

Pieces to be turned
between
centers
such as table
legs, lamp standards,
etc. are usually
turned
from
pieces of square
cross section.
The rough work piece
should be cut at least 3_ inch longer than the finished
piece to allow
material
for cut-off
after turning
is
complete.
To support
the work properly
between
the centers;
the ends must be cut square.
To locate the center on the ends of the work piece,
draw diagonal
lines from corner
to corner
on each
end.
Mark the center on each end with a punch or
awl.
In the case of hard wood it might be necessary
to drill a small hole about
_/h inch deep at the center
points and to make saw cuts _ inch deep along the
diagonal
lines on one end to allow proper
seating
of
the spur center.
In softer wood,
the spur center as
well as the cup center may be seated by tapping
with
a mallet.
When the spur center has been set in the
wood, mark a reference
point on both the wood and
the spur center
so that the piece may be accurately
recentered
if removed
from the lathe
before
completion.
Mount the work in the lathe between
the two centers adding
a small amount
of lubricant
to the cup
center to minimize
burning
of the wood.
With the tailstock
held f_rmly to the tubular
bed,
advance
the tailstock
ram until the work
piece is
held firmly.
Retract
the ram slightly until the piece
turns freely between
the centers.
Lock the tailstock
ram lock securely
to maintain
the position
of the
cup center.

The skew chisd
is used for finishing cuts on cylinder work with its edge at an angle to the axis of the
work piece as shown in Figure
4,
The skew is also
often used to cut clearance
behind
a shoulder
cut
where cutting rather
than scraping
action is desired.

as
shown in Figure 6, and adjust the height so that the
cutis
taken at the centerline
of the piece. Facing
is
generally
accomplished
with the chisel at right angles
to the w0rk piece taking
somewhat
of a scraping
cut.
For face plate turning,
the chisel should be placed
so that the work turns down into it.
In other words,
cut to the left of center as shown in Fig. 6.
For further
information
or suggestions
on the
operation
of the Lathe
refer to the Wood
Lathe
manual
which came with the tool.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Do not operate
the lathe while wearing
loose sleeves,
dangling
neckties,
or any other type of loose clothing
that might become
entangled
in the revolving
work.
After
setting
the work
up in the lathe,
double
cheek to be sure •that it is mounted
securely.
Fast
spinning
pieces
may cause
serious
damage
if they
break loose as a result of careless mounting.
Always
spin the work by hand before applying
power.
Always
use the tool rest when cutting
with the
chisels. Keep the tool rest close to the work, and keep
the chisels Sharp.
Do not be afraid
of high speeds
on ordinary
spiridle work.
It is recommended
that you install a motor switch
at the lef(hand
end of the lathe
