G0632 16" x 42" Variable Speed Wood Lathe

SYMPTOM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Vibration noise while 
machine is running; noise 
changes when speed is 
changed.

1.  Belt cavity cover(s) loose.

1.  Tighten the screws that mount the belt cavity 

cover(s); if necessary install a soft, vibration damp-
ening material between the belt cover and the head-
stock casting.

Vibration noise while 
machine is running; noise 
remains constant when 
speed is changed.

1.  Dented fan cover on motor.

1.  Replace or adjust fan cover. Inspect motor fan and 

replace if damaged.

Excessive vibration.

1.  Workpiece mounted incorrectly.

2.  Workpiece warped, out of round, or 

is flawed.

3.  Spindle speed is set too fast for 

mounted workpiece.

4.  Lathe is resting on an uneven sur-

face.

5.  Motor mount bolts are loose.
6.  Belt is worn or damaged.
7.  Spindle bearings are worn.

1.  Re-mount workpiece, making sure that centers are 

embedded in true center of workpiece.

2.  Cut workpiece to correct, or use a different 

workpiece.

3.  Reduce the spindle speed.

4.  Shim stand or adjust feet on stand to remove any 

wobbles present in the stand.

5.  Tighten motor mount bolts.
6.  Replace belt (see 

Page 38

).

7.  Replace spindle bearings.

Chisels grab or dig into 
workpiece.

1.  Tool rest set too low.

2.  Tool rest set too far from workpiece.

3.  Wrong chisel/tool being used.

4.  Chisel/tool dull.

1.  Set tool rest higher. See 

Page 30

 for how to prop-

erly set the tool rest height.

2.  Move the tool rest closer to the workpiece. See 

Page 30

 for the proper workpiece/tool rest clear-

ance.

3.  Use the correct chisel/tool; educate yourself by 

reading books, trade magazines, or seeking help 
from an experienced lathe operator.

4.  Sharpen or replace the chisel/tool you are using.

Bad surface finish.

1.  Wrong spindle speed.
2.  Dull chisel or wrong chisel being 

used for the operation.

1.  Use trial-and-error to find a better spindle speed.
2.  Sharpen chisel or try a different chisel.

Inaccurate turning results 
from one end of the 
workpiece to the other.

1.  Headstock and tailstock are not 

properly aligned with each other.

1.  Realign the tailstock to the headstock (see 

Page 

38

).

Tailstock moves.

1.  Tailstock mounting bolt loose.
2.  Bed surface is oily or greasy.

1.  Tighten.
2.  Clean bed surface to remove excess oil/grease.

Can't remove tapered tool 
from tailstock barrel.

1.  Tailstock barrel had not retracted all 

the way back into the tailstock.

2.  Debris was not removed from taper 

before inserting into barrel.

1.  Turn the barrel handwheel until it forces taper out of 

barrel.

2

.  

Always make sure that taper surfaces are clean.
