Model T25920/T25926 (Mfd. Since 08/14)

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS

To complete a typical operation, the operator 

does the following:

1.  Examines workpiece to make sure it is suit-

able for turning. No extreme bows, knots, or 
cracks should exist.

2.  Prepares  and  trims  workpiece  to  make  it 

roughly concentric.

3.  Installs workpiece between centers, or attach-

es it to faceplate or chuck.

4.  Adjusts tool rest to 

1

8

" above workpiece cen-

terline, and sets minimum clearance between 
the workpiece and lip of tool rest to 

1

4

".

5.  Rotates workpiece by hand to verify that the 

spindle and workpiece rotate freely through-
out the range of motion.  

6.  Positions  dust  collection  hood  near  work 

piece to collect wood chips secure in place. 

7.  Ties  back  loose  hair  and  clothing,  and  puts 

on face shield and respirator. Takes all other 
required safety precautions. 

8.  Starts  lathe,  adjusts  lathe  speed,  and  care-

fully begins turning operation, keeping chisel 
against tool rest entire time it is cutting.

The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-
ice machine operator with a basic understanding 
of how the machine is used during operation, so 
the machine controls/components discussed later 
in this manual are easier to understand.

Due  to  the  generic  nature  of  this  overview,  it  is 

not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn 
more  about  specific  operations,  read  this  entire 
manual  and  seek  additional  training  from  expe-
rienced  machine  operators,  and  do  additional 
research outside of this manual by reading "how-
to" books, trade magazines, or websites.

If you are not experienced with this type 

of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND 

that you seek additional training outside of 

this manual. Read books/magazines or get 

formal training before beginning any proj-

ects. Regardless of the content in this sec-

tion, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable 

for accidents caused by lack of training.

Keep hair, clothing, and 

jewelry away from mov-

ing parts at all times. 

Entanglement can result 

in death, amputation, or 

severe crushing injuries!

Eye injuries or respiratory problems can 

occur while operating this tool. Wear per-

sonal protective equipment to reduce your 

risk from these hazards.
