8.9 Material selection
The wood must be of good quality and without defects
such as Cross cracks or branches. Faulty wood tends to
splinter and we risk user and machine. Workpieces
made of glued woods should only be worked by an expe-
rienced craftsman. The turning of these woods requires
a careful gluing without weak spots, because the work-
piece can explode due to the resulting centrifugal force.
8.10 Material preparation
For the turning of long wood, the material must first be
cut to a square shape. For turning wood, the material
must also be cut to size. For example, you can saw out
the cross-section of the cross-piece with a band saw.
Suitable is an octagonal shape, thereby vibration can be
avoided.
DANGER!
Make sure that after installing the faceplate before tur-
ning the lathe, the auxiliary tool (rod and threaded
bolt) are removed.
DANGER!
Only mount the faceplate when the lathe is dis-
connected from the electrical supply.
