Clamping The Workpiece; Fastening The Workpiece On The Face Plate - Westfalia RWL 1000 IA Bedienungsanleitung

Clamping the Workpiece

1. Undo the clamping lever (O) of the tailstock (E) and slide the tailstock into
position so that the workpiece just fits in between the lathe tip (T) and the
tip (14) of the tailstock.
2. Turn the spindle screw of the tailstock in the direction of the workpiece
until the teeth of the lathe tip bite into the material and the workpiece is
clamped tight.
3. Lock the tailstock shaft in place by tightening the locknut on the shaft.
4. Align the tool rest. The tool rest should not be too far away from the
workpiece (fig. 7) so that the lever effect on the tool is kept as small as
possible.
Under no circumstances, the tool rest may come into contact with the
workpiece.

Fastening the Workpiece on the Face Plate

The workpiece has to be fastened onto the face plate
(S) if you intend to turn bowls, vases and plates. As
the lathe has a pitch of 165 mm, workpieces should
not have a diameter exceeding 300 mm.
