Key Name
Description
1
Control Panel
Houses the ON/OFF switch, FOR/REV switch, variable speed control, and digital
read out.
2
Head-stock
Holds the spindle and houses the belt drive system and electrical components. The
spindle can rotate forward or reverse. Both ends of the spindle are threaded 1" x 8
TPI. The operator must use the ALAREVO12_Extension accessory with the left
spindle configuration.
3
Power Inverter
The Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) inverter does a whole lot of fancy electrical
things to make the DC motor spin at different rates with very good torque. The
standout benefits from a standard DC Inverter (SCR) is torque control at low speeds,
no dropping of rpm when loading spindle, and -of course- clean power that
minimizes heat. Under side-by-side comparison, it is obvious which give more
precise and consistent control over the tool. *Power Inverter was relocated under
tail-stock in product testing phase.
4
Spindle Lock
Spring loaded spindle lock to easily change belts or be used with the indexing
system (not shown - see internal map on next page).
Key Name
Description
5
Upper Belt Door
Access door for quick and easy belt changes. Also, it snaps closed with a magnetic
insert.
6
Tool Rest
The tool rest can be moved to any position on the lathe bed and locked to suit the
job at hand. The tool rest has a tall profile to allow the bowl turner to turn steep
angles. The leading edge is made from 6mm hardened steel.
7
Bed
Serves as the ground plane for the head-stock, banjo, and tail-stock.
8
Lower Belt Door
Access door for quick and easy belt changes. Also, it snaps closed with a magnetic
insert.
9
DC Motor
Direct Current Motor. Used in conjunction with the (3) Power Inverter and belt
system to spin the spindle at user-controlled rates.
10
Face Plate
Used to mount things.
11
Drive Center
Used only in the head-stock spindle to mount a piece of stock material on the lathe.
12
Banjo
Mounts the tool rest. Can be located anywhere on the bed. Easily locks and unlocks
with the lock lever (same as 18 tail-stock lock).
13
Live Center
Used only in the tail-stock spindle to mount a piece of stock material on the lathe.
The live center rotates freely and features a removable thimble.
14
Center Lock
Once the workpiece is secured with (15) Tail-stock plunge wheel, use this to make
sure it does not come loose!
NOTICE! Make sure to unlock the center-lock prior to
cranking the Tail-stock plunge wheel.
15
Tail-stock Plunge
Wheel (Quill)
Clockwise to go in, counterclockwise to come out. Come all the way out to pop out
the (self ejecting) live center.
16
Center Storage
Stores your stuff.
17
Tail-stock
Holds the workpiece in in line with the spindle. The spindle quill has a plunge
distance of 2 1/2 in. It can accommodate centers and other tools which have a
number 2 Morse Taper. The tail stock can be moved to any position on the lathe bed
and locked to suit the job at hand.
18
Tail-stock Lock
Clockwise to lock down, Counter Clockwise to unlock. Couldn't be simpler.
19
Extension Mounts
Mounts the ALAREVO12 Extension accessory to extend the capacity. There is also
an identical bolt pattern on the headstock side (but lower) for outboard turning
capabilities with a maximum throw of 16".
