CHANGING SPEEDS
1. Turn the power off at the main
switch.
2. Loosen motor mounting bolts
under pulley cover.
3. Change belt to the desired pulley
steps.
4. Lift belt tension lever to tighten
belt.
5. Retighten motor mounting bolts.
CHANGING FACEPLATE AND
DRIVE CENTRE
The adjustment spanner has jaws
which fit across flats on the
headstock spindle. Locate the
spanneracross the flats and
unsrew th faceplate or drive centre
towards you. See Fig.7
MOVING TAILSTOCK AND
TOOLREST
The taiistock and toolrest are held
to the bed with lock nuts
underneath the bed rails. To move
them to a new position, loosen the
nut with the adjustment spanner,
slide the tailstock or toolrest along
the bed and retighten the nut, The
toolrestis held in place by the
lockknob. See Fig.8
MOTOR :
An induction type motor is provided
with the lathe. The rear cover of the
lathe has ventilation slots to provide
additional air movement over the
motor.
;
|
The rear cover can be removed by
simply undoing four screws to
Inspect the motor when needed.
Always keep motor ventilations slots
clear, cleaning woodchips frequently.
See Fig. 9

CHISELS FOR WOODTURNING
1. Large skew
2. Medium skew
3. Largé gouge
4. Medium gouge
5. Small gouge
6. Round nose
7. Spearpoint
3. Parting too!
Successful woodturners investin
good quality chisels and keep them
~ well maintained. Figure 7 shows a
typical 8 piece chisel set which will
cover most of your needs. Use the
gouges for roughing in round nose
for shaping, skews for planing and
fine line detailing, spear point for V
grooves, and the parting tool for
cutting off finished work.
After using your chisels maintain
their fine cutting edge with an
ollstone, taking care to keep the
original angles. Or use a profes
sional sharpening tool with a
holder to set angles, a fine |
grinding wheel for resharpening
and a stropping wheel or polishing
th cutting edge. See Fig11

Fig. 11
TURNING BETWEEN CENTRES
Turning between centres is the
operation of turning a long
workpiece supported at one end by
the driving centre, and by the tail
stock centre at the other.
MARKING THE CENTRES-Draw
two diagonal lines across each end
of the workpiece, from corner to
corner, The junction ofthe lines -
will be the correct centre, Mark the
centres with an awl or a drill. See
Fig.12 |
CO Les FA
Fig.12
:
REMOVING WASTE STOCK-With
a jack plane or bandsaw remove
the four corners of the timber along
its length to form an octagonal
workpiece. This speeds the
operation of turning down to round.
See Fig.13 |
MOUNTING THE WORK
BETWEEN CENTRES-Unscrew
driving centre from the lathe
spindle. Locate the point ofthe
driving centre in the hole marked at
one end of the timber, and hammer
home with a wooden mallet of soft
hammer. See Fig.14
Fig.14
Screw the timber and driving
centre onto the headstock spindle,
and move the tailstock up to the
opposite end of the timber, locating
the tailstock spindle in the centre
hole marked previcusty.
Tighten the tail stock lock nut
underneath the bed rails Turn the
tailstock spindle until the work is
held firmly but still rotates freely.
Tighten the spindle lock nut.
POSITIONING TOOL REST-The
position of the chisel and operator
comfortis more important than the
actual height of the tool rest. Set it
at centre height to begin with, and
adjust it slightly higher or lower after
trial to suit the operation. See Fig.15
Always rotate the work one full turn
before switching on the motor to be
sure that the timber is free of all
obstructions.
FACEPLATE TURNING N
Faceplate turning is the operation
of turning a large workpiece
supported by the faceplate only.
MAKING A BACKING PIECE-Use a
piece of 1"(25mm) thick timber
larger than the diameter of the
faceplate.
Screw the backing piece to the
faceplate using woodscrews
through the holes in the back of
the faceplate. Mount the faceplate
and backing piece onto the lathe
spindle and carefully turn the
timber until itis completely
circular and slightly larger in
diameter than the faceplate. See
Fig.16
Fig.16
The backing piece provides a
surface on which to mountthe
workpiece and is also a protective
spacer between your chisels and
the metal faceplate
MOUNTING WORK TO THE
BACKING
PIECE-Spread wood-working
adhesive over the packing piece.
Place brown paper overthe
adhesive and apply adhesive to the
outside of the paper. Spread
adhesive on the workpiece, press
the workpiece against the brown
paper. Allow the adhesive to dry
completely, Clamping may be
required, Follow the adhesive
manufacturer's instructions
carefully.
When turning is completed the
finished article can be easily pried
off the face plate with a flat chisel.
Work can also be screwed directly
to the faceplate by drilling from the
holes in the back of the faceplate
completly through the backing
piece. Make sure that enough
material is allowed so that the
chisel will not hit a screw during the
turning operation. Excess timber
can be cut off with a handsaw or fret
saw when turning is completed.
TURNING THE TIMBER
TURNING BETWEEN CENTRES-
Use a gouge or round nose chisel to
rough the timber to the desired
shape. Hold the chisel firmly
against the tool rest. Use the hand
holding the handle of the chisel to
raise of lower the cutting point, with
the tool rest as a fulcrum.
When the rough shape is ready use
other chisels for final shaping and
decorative grooving as required.
See Fig1/
[
FACEPLATE TURNING-Mount the
faceplate and workpiece to the
lathe spindle. Start by turning the
outside of the work first. Whenever
possible bring the tailstock up to
support the workpiece.
Move the tailstock well clear when
turning the inside of the work. Extra
care must be taken that the chisel
does not catch on the work,
particularly when the inside turning
is long and narrow. See Fig.18
FINISHING.
Turned timber can be power sanded
on the lathe using a folded strip of
sandpaper across the work.
Remove the tool rest so that you
have proper access to the
workpiece.
