BASIC ADJUSTMENT
Change Spindle Speed
This lathe is equipped with an electronic variable speed controller allowing the user to change
the speed of the spindle (within the 3 different spindle speed ranges: 250 - 750, 600 - 1800 &
1350 - 4000rpm) by simply turning the speed control dial.
IMPORTANT: Turning speeds vary depending on the size and diameter of the
workpiece as well as which stage you are at in the overall turning process. When turning a
smaller diameter workpiece, a higher spindle speed is recommended. Proper spindle speed
selection comes with practice and experience and when in doubt always start at a slower speed
increasing when you are sure that it is safe to do so.
Note: Use the chart as a base guideline for selecting the appropriate spindle
speed.

vary.
