mounting nut (item 44), completely. It is then mounted on the Bed Extension using
the same attachments. The Headstock is rotated to the desired angle (four
positions are provided), by slackening off the Headstock Clamp (item 24A),
pulling out the locking pin (item 35), rotating the head, and re-locking where
required. Finally the head is re-clamped. The tool rest may be positioned at any
desired angle, remembering to firmly clamp all joints.
G. Speed Selection
Your Wood Lathe is provided with variable spindle speeds, from 500 to 2000 RPM.
Speed change will only take place with the lathe running. To change speeds, pull
out the spring loaded handle, which locks the speed change lever in place, and
turn the lever to the appropriate speed requirement (Moving the lever clockwise
increases the speed, anticlockwise decreases).
Spindle speeds are dependant upon the size of workpiece being turned, and to
some extent, the type of wood. The following chart is a guide for the spindle
speeds for general turning. You should consult a wood turning manual for more
precise information, and for turning special woods.
It should be noted that the spindle speeds quoted in the Specification chart are
correct to within a 15% tolerance.
NOTE: When a workpiece is completed, or when you have finished with the
machine, always select the slowest speed before switching off.

F. The Bed Extension
(see Fig. 6)
13
A Bed Extension (item 52), is
provided so that outboard
turning can take place. It is
used when face plate turning
with larger workpieces, with
the headstock mounted at
90° to the lathe bed, or when it
is desired to work directly in
front of the workpiece, with
the headstock at 180° to its
normal position.
In order that the Tool Rest may
be used, it must first of all be
removed from its position on
the bed by unscrewing the
