8.0 Electrical connections

The JWL-1221VS JET lathe is rated for 115 volt operation. It is supplied with a plug designed for use on a circuit with a grounded outlet that looks like the one pictured in A, Figure 9.

Before connecting to power source, be sure switch is in off position.

It is recommended that the lathe be connected to a dedicated 10 amp circuit with a circuit breaker or time-delay fuse. Local codes take precedence over recommendations. qualified electrician. This adapter is not permitted

in Canada. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

8.1 Grounding instructions

1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipmentgrounding conductor to a live terminal.

Figure 9

8.2 Extension cords

The use of extension cords is discouraged. Try to position equipment within reach of the power source. If an extension cord becomes necessary, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Check with a qualified

electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Failure to comply

may cause serious or fatal injury.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less

than 150 volts:

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A, Figure

9. An adapter, shown in B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a

9.0 Adjustments

Make sure all levers and locking handles are tightened before operating the lathe.

9.1 Tool rest


The tool rest assembly is designed to allow adjustment for height, position on the bed, and angle to the work.

Loosen locking handle (A) on tool rest base to slide base forward or back, and to angle it to the bed.

Tighten locking handle firmly before operating lathe.

Loosen small handle (B) to raise or lower tool rest and angle it to the work. Tighten handle before operating lathe.

Figure 11

The clamping system has been properly adjusted by the manufacturer. If in the future it does not properly lock tailstock in position, remove tailstock from bed, and turn it over. Adjust cam lock nut

(Figure 12) as needed.

Figure 10

9.2 Tailstock

Referring to Figures 11 and 12:

Loosen locking lever (C) and slide tailstock into position. Retighten locking lever.

Do not position edge of tailstock off end of bed. This will result in less clamping surface and may increase risk of

injury.

To remove tailstock, loosen lever (C) and slide tailstock off end of bed.

Handle (D) locks and unlocks tailstock quill. (The handle is adjustable – lift up on handle and rotate it on pin, then release, making sure it seats itself on the pin.)

Handwheel (E) advances and retracts quill.

NOTE: If quill is well advanced and won’t respond to handwheel rotation, push quill toward handwheel until it engages.

12

Figure 13

To move belt to a different pulley:

1. Open upper and lower pulley access doors.

Figure 12

9.3 Speed Change

Referring to Figures 13 and 14:

The lathe has three speed ranges, controlled by a combination of the electronic variable speed dial

(see section 10.0) and the position of the belt upon one of three pulley sets. Figure 13 identifies these ranges. This chart is also affixed to inside of pulley access door.

When there is no torque on the lathe (i.e. running without a workpiece attached), each of the lower settings has an RPM range as follows: (H) 600-

220, (M) 300-110, (L) 160-60.

2. Relieve belt tension by pulling handle (F,

Figure 14) while pushing up lever (G).

3. Move belt to desired pulley set. Make sure belt is properly seated in both pulleys, and both pulleys are aligned (belt is vertical, not slanted).

4. Push lever (G) down to tighten belt, and close access doors.

Keep access doors closed during operation.

Figure 14

9.4 Index pin


Indexing is used to create evenly spaced features in a work piece, while keeping the lathe spindle locked; for example, when cutting flutes on a spindle blank with a hand-held router, while the spindle blank is secured between lathe centers.

Your lathe provides 24 indexing positions. These are identified by inscribed numbers on the spindle pulley (H, Figure 15)

4. Rotate knurled head counterclockwise until pin releases. Move pulley to next desired hole, and repeat. NOTE: A 3mm hex key (K, Figure

15) can be inserted and turned in the hole of the knurled head, to help tighten or loosen the index pin.

Disengage index pin before starting lathe.

IMPORTANT: Do not use index pin to lock spindle, which will cause unnecessary wear to the pin. Use spindle lock for this purpose.

10.0 Operating controls


Speed dial (A): Rotate dial to set speed, which is shown as RPM (revolutions per minute) in the adjoining digital readout window.

Do not start lathe at maximum speed.

Start at lowest speed within that range and gradually increase to full speed.

Fwd/Rev switch (B): Forward is counterclockwise rotation of spindle, as viewed from tailstock end. It is the normal rotation for standard woodturning operations. Reverse is clockwise rotation. Spindle direction can be changed without turning off the lathe.

On/off switch (C): Pull up to start lathe, push down to stop. The safety key (C

1

) can be removed to prevent unauthorized use of lathe. Key must be reinserted to start lathe.

If a power outage should occur during operation, the lathe will not immediately restart when power is resumed. Flip paddle switch off and then back on to start lathe.

Digital readout (D): The digital readout may display an error code if a malfunction occurs on the lathe. Also, an alarm signal may be emitted until the issue has been resolved. If an error code occurs, consult section 15.0, Troubleshooting.

Figure 15

1. Rotate spindle until index pin (I) aligns with desired hole.

2. Push index pin into hole and rotate knurled head (J) to engage threads and secure in position.

11.0 Operation

The information which follows is general in nature and is not intended to be a complete course in wood turning. Nothing can replace the knowledge gained by conversation with experienced woodturners, or consulting books or trade articles.

Above all, simple trial and error will aid in developing proficiency in the craft.

11.1 Inspection

Before operating the lathe, check that everything is in proper working order:

1. Machine is on a level surface.

2. Check bearings; adjust only if endplay exists.

3. Check belt; it should be snug but not overly tight.

4. Bed ways; keep clean, use steel wool to remove any rust spots, and apply paste wax to prevent buildup of rust and finishes.

5. Tool support; use a mill file to remove nicks and dings.

6. Spindle tapers; should be clean and free of dust and chips for proper seating of tapers.

7. Tailstock; clean and lubricate quill and locking device.

8. Lighting; proper lighting is essential to eliminate shadows and reduce eye strain.

11.2 Turning Tools

If possible, select only quality, high-speed steel turning tools. High-speed steel tools hold an edge and last longer than ordinary carbon steel. As one becomes proficient in turning, a variety of specialty tools for specific applications can be acquired. The following tools provide the basics for most woodturning projects (see Figure 17):

Skews – 1-1/2" and 1" or 1-1/4", used to make finishing cuts and details.

Large Roughing Gouge – 1" to 1-1/4", used to eliminate waste wood.

Spindle Gouges – 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", used to turn beads, coves and other details.

Deep Fluted Bowl Gouge – 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2", used for turning bowls & plates.

Square Scraper (Bedan) – 3/8” or 1/2", used to create square shoulders.

Large Round Nose (Domed) Scraper – 1-1/2", used to reduce ridges on interior of bowls, round edges of bowls, etc.

Parting Tool - 1/8", used for scraping, making a cut-off, or to set diameters for sizing.

Figure 17

Basic Turning Tools

For safety and best performance, keep tools sharp.

If a tool stops cutting or requires excessive pressure to make a cut, it needs to be sharpened.

A number of brand name sharpening jigs and fixtures are available; however, a woodturner should learn to sharpen tools freehand.

For best results, use a slow speed grinder (1800 rpm) fitted with a 60-grit aluminum oxide wheel (for shaping) and a 100-grit alum. oxide wheel (for final sharpening and touchup). The grinder should be located near your lathe and at a comfortable height. A diamond dresser will keep the wheels true and eliminate glazing.

Never allow the tool to rest in one place on the wheel, keep it moving and use a light touch.

Carbon steel tools can overheat easily and should be cooled frequently. If the edge turns blue, it has lost its temper and should be ground past the blue area. High-speed steel tools are not as likely to overheat, but can be damaged if allowed to get red hot. High-speed steel tools should not be quenched for cooling. Honing with a diamond lap or slipstone will save trips to the grinder and keep the edge fresh.

11.3 Spindle Turning

Spindle turning takes place between the centers of the lathe. It requires a spur or drive center in the headstock, and a live or dead center in the tailstock. A cup center rather than a cone center in the tailstock will often reduce the risk of splitting the stock.

Figure 18 shows the basic profile shapes in spindle turning.

3. Drive the spur center about 1/4” into the workpiece, using a wood mallet or dead blow hammer as shown in Figure 20. Be careful that you do not split the workpiece. Never use a steel face hammer and never drive the workpiece onto the spur center while it is

mounted in the Lathe spindle.

Figure 18

11.3.1 Stock Selection

Stock for spindles should be straight grained and free of checks, cracks, knots and other defects. It should be cut 1/8" to 1/4" larger than the finished diameter and may require additional length so the ends can be removed later. Larger stock should have the corners removed to produce an octagon making the piece easier to rough down to a cylinder.

1. With a combination square, or plastic center finder for round stock, locate and mark center on each end of the workpiece. Accuracy is not critical on full rounds but extremely important on stock where square sections are to remain.

Put a dimple in the stock with an awl or nail, or use a spring-loaded automatic center punch.

2. Extremely hard woods may require kerfs cut into the ends of the stock (Figure 19) using a band saw, so the wood will accept the spur center and the live center.

Figure 20

4. Make sure the headstock is locked to the

Lathe bed.

5. Clean the tapered end of the spur center and the inside of the headstock spindle.

6. Insert the tapered end of the spur center (with the attached workpiece) into the headstock spindle.

7. Support the workpiece while bringing the tailstock into position about 1” away from the end of the workpiece. Lock the tailstock to the bed.

8. Advance the tailstock spindle with the handwheel in order to seat the live center into the workpiece. Use enough pressure to secure the workpiece between the centers so that it won’t fly off, but do not use excessive pressure.

9. Tighten the spindle locking handle.

The tailstock ram is capable of exerting excessive pressure against the workpiece and the headstock. Apply only sufficient force with the tailstock to hold the workpiece securely in place. Excessive pressure can overheat center bearings and

damage both workpiece and Lathe.

10. Move tool support into position. It should be parallel to the workpiece, just below the centerline and approximately 1/8" to 1/4" from the corners of the workpiece to be turned, as in Figure 21. Tighten support base to Lathe bed.

Figure 19

Figure 21

11. Rotate workpiece by hand to check for proper clearance.

12. Start lathe at lowest speed and bring it up to the appropriate RPM for the size of workpiece used. Consult the machine’s digital readout.

11.3.2 Cutting Techniques

Roughing Out

1. Begin with a large roughing gouge. Place the tool on the tool support with the heel of the tool on the surface to be cut.

2. Slowly and gently raise tool handle until cutting edge comes into contact with the workpiece.

3. Beginning about 2” from the tailstock end of the workpiece, roll the flute (hollowed-out portion) of the tool in the direction of the cut.

See Figure 22. Make long sweeping cuts in a continuous motion to rough the piece down to a cylinder.

4. Keep as much of the bevel of the tool as possible in contact with the workpiece to ensure control and avoid catches. NOTE:

Always cut down-hill, or from large diameter to small diameter. Always work toward the end of a work-piece, never start cutting at the end. points of the skew to the spinning workpiece may cause a catch and ruin the workpiece).

6. Add details to the workpiece with skew, parting tool, scraper or spindle gouge.

Beads

1. Make a parting cut for what is to be a bead to the desired depth. Place the parting tool on the tool support and move tool forward to make the full bevel of the tool come into contact with the workpiece. Gently raise handle to make cut to the appropriate depth.

2. Repeat for other side of the bead.

3. Using a small skew or spindle gouge, start in the center between the two cuts and cut down each side to form the bead. Roll the tool in direction of cut.

Coves

1. Use a spindle gouge. With the flute of the tool at 90 degrees to the workpiece, touch the point of the tool to the workpiece and roll in towards the bottom of the cove. See Figure 23. Stop at the bottom; attempting to go up the

opposite side may cause the tool to catch.

Figure 22

5. Once the workpiece is roughed down to a cylinder, smooth it with a large skew. Keep the skew handle perpendicular to the spindle and use only the center third of the cutting edge for a long smoothing cut (touching one of the

Figure 23

2. Move the tool over the desired width of the cove.

3. With the flute facing the opposite direction, repeat step 1 for other side of cove. Stop at bottom of cut.

"V" Cuts

1. Use the long point of the skew. (NOTE: Do not press the long point of the skew directly into the workpiece to create the "V"; this will result in a burned or burnished "V" with fibers being rolled up at both sides.)

2. Lightly mark the center of the "V" with the tip of the skew.

3. Move the point of the skew to the right half of the desired width of your cut.

16

4. With the bevel parallel to the right side of the cut, raise the handle and push the tool in to the desired depth, as shown in Figure 24.

Figure 24

5. Repeat from the left side. The two cuts should meet at the bottom and leave a clean "V" cut.

6. Additional cuts may be taken to add to either the depth or width of the cut.

Parting Off

1. Use parting tool.

2. Adjust lathe speed to lower RPM for parting through a workpiece.

3. Place tool on tool support and raise the handle until it starts to cut and continue to cut toward the center of the workpiece.

4. Loosely hold on to the piece in one hand as it separates from the waste wood.

Sanding and Finishing

Leaving clean cuts will reduce the amount of sanding required. Move the tool support out of the way, adjust the lathe to a low speed, and begin with fine sandpaper (120 grit or finer). Coarser sandpaper will leave deep scratches that are difficult to remove, and dull crisp details on the spindle. Progress through each grit without skipping grits (for example, do not jump from 120 grit to 220 grit). Fold the sandpaper into a pad; do not wrap sandpaper around your fingers or the workpiece.To apply a finish, the workpiece can be left on the lathe.

Turn off the lathe and use a brush or paper towel to apply the finish. Remove excess finish before restarting lathe. Allow to dry and sand again with

320 or 400 grit sandpaper. Apply second coat of finish and buff.

11.4 Face Plate and Bowl Turning

Mounting Stock

Use of a face plate is the most common method for holding a block of wood for turning bowls and plates:

17

1. Select stock at least 1/8" to 1/4" larger than each dimension on the finished workpiece.

2. Always select the largest diameter face plate that can be used for the workpiece to be turned.

3. True one surface of the workpiece for mounting against the face plate.

4. Using the face plate as a template, mark the location of the mounting holes on the workpiece, and drill pilot holes of the appropriate size. Face plates are drilled for No.

12 screws. (Phillips and square drive screws will hold up better than slotted screws. Sheet metal screws are case hardened with deeper and sharper threads than wood screws.)

If the mounting screws on the face plate interfere with the workpiece, a glue or waste block can be used:

5. Make a block the same diameter as the face plate, Figure 25. Both waste block and workpiece should have flat surfaces for gluing.

6. Glue the block to the workpiece. Avoid using brown paper or newspaper between the waste block and workpiece. It may work fine if you are using scrapers, but a slight catch with a bowl gouge can separate the two.

NOTE: When using a waste block, be careful with the adhesive you select. Dry workpieces can be bonded with ordinary white or yellow glue but must be clamped to ensure a good bond. Green workpieces require cyanoacrylate type glue.

Figure 25

Faceplate or Chuck?

While faceplates are the simplest, most reliable method of holding a block of wood for turning, chucks can also be used. As there are dozens of chucks to choose from, the woodturner should first consider all the different types of turning that will be done, and read reports or discuss with other turners who own chucks before making a decision.

A chuck is not a requirement, but is handy when working on more than one piece at a time. Rather than removing screws, you simply open the chuck and change workpieces.

The most popular ones are four jaw scroll chucks with a variety of jaws to accommodate different size tenons. Most also come with a screw chuck as well.

Wood Selection

Firewood is the cheapest, most widely available stock to use while learning to turn bowls. Simply waste wood for a while practicing turning techniques. Develop skill with each tool before attempting to make a finished piece. It is best to start with dry wood, without worrying about drying or distortion. Once turning becomes comfortable, try green wood which cuts very easily. As the turner gains experience, he or she will find extraordinary grain and figure in the form of burls, crotches and bark inclusions.

Checks and Cracks

Green wood will check and crack. For best results, leave logs in as long a length as you can handle.

As the material starts to dry, surface cracks will develop on the ends of the log. Cut off two to three inches and you should find good, sound wood.

Also cut the log in half along the pith to avoid having it in the finished piece. Most checks radiate from the pith.

As you turn bowls from green wood, make sure you maintain a consistent wall thickness throughout the piece. Leaving a piece thick in some areas and thin in others will cause the wood to dry unevenly and promote checks and cracks.

Distortion

Distortion is a problem associated with turning green wood. It will vary from one type of wood to the next. Typically, fruitwoods tend to distort more than others. It also varies with the time of year the tree was cut and how the logs are stored.

Tools for Bowl Turning

The deep fluted bowl gouge is the most essential and versatile tool for most bowl and plate turning.

The bowl gouge is heavier and easier to control than other types of gouges. It also allows removal of wood much faster and with less vibration than other gouges. Most average sized bowl work can

18 be accomplished with a 3/8" or 1/2" bowl gouge. A

1/4" bowl gouge is best suited for smaller bowls and light finishing cuts. Larger 3/4" and 1" bowl gouges are only used for extremely large pieces.

Large domed scrapers can also be used to help clean up the interior surfaces of bowls. A light touch with the scraper slightly tilted will eliminate some of the ridges occasionally left by an inexperienced bowl gouge.

11.5 Bowl Turning Techniques

To Shape Outside of Bowl

1. Odd shaped burls, crotches and other irregular shaped blanks require special preparation before mounting in a chuck or onto a faceplate. Remove the bark, if there is any, from what appears to be the center of the top of the workpiece.

2. Drive spur center into the top of the workpiece with a mallet or dead blow hammer.

3. Slip the spur center into the headstock taper and bring the tailstock with a live or ball bearing center into position. Lock the tailstock to the bed and advance the tailstock spindle in order to seat the cup center into the workpiece. Tighten the ram locking handle.

4. Turn workpiece by hand to ensure proper clearance.

5. Start lathe at lowest speed and bring it up to the maximum safe speed for the size of work to be turned. If the machine starts to vibrate, lower the speed until vibration stops.

6. Rough out the outside of the bowl with the 1/2" deep fluted bowl gouge, holding the handle of the tool firmly against your hip. For best control, use your whole body to move the gouge through the workpiece.

7. As the bowl takes shape, work on the bottom

(tailstock end) to accomodate attaching a face plate.

8. Turn a short tenon (about 1/8" long) the size of the hole in the faceplate. See Figure 26. This will allow centering the workpiece when the faceplate is attached.

Figure 26

(NOTE: If you plan to use a chuck, turn a tenon of the appropriate length and diameter to fit your chuck.)

9. Stop the lathe, remove workpiece and attach face plate or chuck (see Section 11.4,

"Mounting Stock").

The surfaces of faceplate and

workpiece should mount flush to each other.

10. Finish turning the outside of bowl with 1/2" or

3/8" bowl gouge. Leave additional material at base of bowl for support while turning interior.

This will be removed later.

To Shape Interior of Bowl

1. Stop the lathe and move tailstock away. (You may want to remove the center from the tailstock to avoid bumping it with your elbow.)

2. Adjust tool support in front of the bowl just below centerline, at a right angle to the lathe ways.

3. Rotate workpiece by hand to check clearance.

4. Face off top of bowl by making a light shearing cut across the top of workpiece, from rim to center.

5. Place 1/2" bowl gouge on tool support at center of the workpiece with the flute facing top of bowl. The tool handle should be level and pointed toward the four o'clock position, as shown in Figure 27. ridges left, a light cut with a large domed scraper can even out the surface.)

7. Develop wall thickness at the rim and maintain it as you work deeper into the bowl (Once the piece is thin toward the bottom, you cannot make it thinner at the rim). When the interior is finished, move the tool support to exterior to re-define bottom of bowl. (General rule of thumb: the base should be approximately 1/3 the overall diameter of the bowl).

8. Work the tight area around faceplate or chuck with 1/4" bowl gouge.

9. Begin the separation with a parting tool, but do not cut all the way through yet.

Sanding and Finishing

1. Remove the tool support and adjust lathe speed to approximately 500 RPM. High speed can build friction while sanding and cause heat check in some woods.

2. Begin with fine sandpaper (120 grit) and progress through each grit, using only light pressure. Coarser sandpaper tends to leave deep scratches that are hard to eliminate. Use power-sanding techniques to avoid concentric sanding marks around your finished piece.

Avoid rounding over the rim and foot with sandpaper; try to keep details crisp. Finish sanding with 220 grit.

3. Remove sanding dust with tack rags or compressed air and, with lathe turned off, apply first coat of finish. Let stand for several minutes, wipe off excess. Allow to dry before sanding again with 320 or 400 grit sandpaper.

4. Turn lathe back on and continue the separation cut almost all the way through the base. Stop at about 3" and use a small fine tooth saw to separate the bowl from the waste.

Apply second finish coat and allow to dry before buffing.

Figure 27

6. Use the left hand to control cutting edge of gouge, while right hand swings tool handle around toward your body (Figure 27). The flute should start out facing top of workpiece, and rotate upward as it moves deeper into the bowl to maintain a clean even curve. As the tool goes deeper into the bowl, progressively work out toward the rim. It may be necessary to turn the tool support into the piece as you get deeper into the bowl.

(NOTE: Try to make one, very light continuous movement from the rim to the bottom of the bowl to ensure a clean, sweeping curve through the piece. Should there be a few small

12.0 Maintenance

19

12.1 General maintenance

Periodically inspect lathe for loose fasteners, worn electrical cables, proper belt tension, belt wear, or any other situation that might affect operation or create a safety risk.

Wipe down the lathe after each use, and blow out chips and dust using compressed air (wear eye

and respiratory protection!).

Periodically apply a light coat of oil to headstock spindle, tailstock quill, bed surface, and tool rest post. Protect the bed from rust by applying paste wax or a commercially available rust protectant.

Bearings are permanently lubricated and sealed.

They do not require further lubrication.

12.2 Motor Brushes


Periodically inspect the two carbon brushes located at each side of the motor. If brushes need replacing, replace both at the same time.

A heavily worn or damaged brush, if allowed to remain, may eventually cause damage to internal motor elements.

1. Disconnect lathe from power.

2. Unscrew cap (A, Figure 28) using a screwdriver or coin, and withdraw brush.

3. Inspect brush. Replace brush if any of the following are seen: Brush is worn 1/4" (6mm) or more, collapsed spring, broken lead in spring, abnormal discoloration, signs of breakage, burning or crumbling.

4. Reinsert brush, or install new one, and screw in cap.

5. Repeat inspection for brush on opposite side of motor.

Figure 29

7. Remove three button head screws on the cover (C, Figure 30), and remove cover.

NOTE: The spindle lock will pop out with its spring. Be careful not to lose these parts.

Figure 30

8. Use a rubber mallet, or hammer against a block of wood, to tap spindle toward tailstock

(Figure 31).

Never use a steel face hammer directly against the spindle.

Figure 28

12.3 Belt replacement

Referring to Figures 29, 30, 31:

1. Disconnect lathe from power.

2. Release belt tension (see Figure 14), and open pulley access doors.

3. Remove spur center and faceplate.

4. Engage spindle lock, and loosen both set screws (A) in handwheel with 3mm hex key.

Unscrew handwheel from spindle. (Note: Lefthand threads; turn clockwise to remove.)

5. Disengage spindle lock.

6. Loosen both setscrews (B) in spindle pulley.
