OPERATION
The lathe is designed exclusively for machining wood.
All hardwood and softwood, particularly pine, larch and yew, can be used for turning. The wood
must be well seasoned. Squared timber or trunk or branch sections should be cut into a
symmetrical form (octagonal, round) first. Centre the workpiece first before clamping so as to
ensure that the workpiece does not turn out of balance.
Depending on the thickness and type of wood, it may be necessary to drill a hole in the centring
point and make several small saw cuts in the end of the timber section facing the lathe tip so that
the teeth of the lathe tip can bite into the material more effectively..
13.1
Clamping the workpiece
1. Undo the lock lever of the tailstock and slide the tailstock into position so that the workpiece
just fits in between the lathe tip and the tip 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 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!
