Operation
29
The 15/24 Lathe is equipped with a precise position function that allows you to ensure center to center contact between
the drive spur and live center (spindle and quill).
The adjustment is simple.
1. Loosen the four Allen screws.
2. Lock down the tailstock.
3. Lock quill.
4. Adjust center to center alignment.
5. Tighten the four Allen screws.
Operation
1. Before starting the lathe, confirm: 1. The headstock and tailstock are locked to the bed. 2. The drive spur and
live center are securly inserted and seated into the headstock and tailstock. 3. The stock (wood) is securely
centered and seated into the drive spur and live center. 4. The live center is locked in place. 5. The drive belt is
on the correct pulleys (RPM range) for the operation.
2. Choosing RPM range (Pulley Steps) . The lathe has three combinations of pulleys for fast, medium and slow
speed ranges. Changing the drive belt to different combinations of the pulleys changes the speed range.
IMPORTANT: RPM range settings
When choosing RPM (speed range), confirm the correct speed range before adjusting electronic knob for RPM.
The
slow -speed range creates more torque at the spindle and is the correct choice when turning large blanks at
slow RPM or other applications requiring extra torque. The medium and fast speed ranges are for general turning,
sanding and finishing.
RPM range can be changed by disconnecting power to the machine. Opening the access door on the front of the
headstock, loosening the motor lock, lifting the motor with the handle, and adjusting the drive belt to the correct
location (fast, medium, or slow, see chart on access door). Tension the belt until there is approximately 1/8
– ¼”
deflection of the belt. Tighten the locking lever, close the door, and connect power to the machine.
