ASSEMBLING THE HAND CHISEL REST
The standard tool rest for hand
chisels is used as follows:
1. Set the chisel rest holder (54) on
the lathe bed and secure in
position with the securing plate
(53) and the bolt/washer
(51/52) as shown in Fig 4.
2. Position the rest (55) slightly
above the lathe centreline and
approx 3mm from the proposed
workpiece and tighten the
locking handle (59) to secure.
The rest can be used parallel with the workpiece or at 90 degrees for
faceplate turning.
OPERATION
1. Ensure the tool rest and tailstock are securely locked in position before
starting work.
2. Always rotate the workpiece by hand and check it does not strike the tool
rest before switching on the motor.
3. To turn the lathe ON, press the green push-button. Press the red button to
stop.
4. Avoid turning timber which has splits or substantial knots or voids and take
special care if these are discovered.
5. Always use the lowest speed when starting a new workpiece.
6. When turning, always roughly turn the work to a cylinder at low speed.
7. Take care that the chisel does not bite suddenly into the workpiece.
8. Always position the toolrest just above the centreline of the lathe.
