Workpiece Inspection Adjusting Headstock
The headstock on this lathe is equipped with a
cam-action clamping system to secure it to the
lathe bed. When the lever is tightened, a locking
plate lifts up underneath the bed and secures
the tailstock in place. The headstock can be
positioned anywhere along the lathe bed.
Always operate lathe with headstock firmly
locked to bed. Otherwise, serious personal
injury may occur, as workpiece or faceplate
could shift during operation or be ejected
from lathe.
Some workpieces are not safe to turn or may
require modification before they are safe to turn.
Before turning, inspect all workpieces for the
following:
•
Workpiece Type:
This machine is intended for turning natural
wood products. Never attempt to turn any
composite wood materials, plastics, metal,
stone, or rubber workpieces; turning these
materials can lead to machine damage or
severe injury.
•
Foreign Objects:
Nails, staples, dirt, rocks and other foreign
objects are often embedded in wood. While
cutting, these objects can become dislodged
and hit the operator, cause tool grab, or break
the turning tool, which might then fly apart.
Always visually inspect your workpiece for
these items. If they can't be removed, DO
NOT turn the workpiece.
• Large/Loose Knots:
Loose knots can become dislodged during
the turning operation. Large knots can cause
a workpiece to completely break in half
during turning and cause machine damage
and injury. Choose workpieces that do not
have large/loose knots.
•
Excessive Warping:
Workpieces with excessive bowing or twist-
ing are unstable and unbalanced. Never turn
these workpieces at high speed, or instability
will be magnified and the workpiece can be
ejected from the lathe causing injury. Only
turn concentric workpieces!
3. Slide headstock to desired location on bed,
and use headstock lock lever to secure head-
stock in position.
Note: The large clamping lock nut underneath
the headstock will require occasional adjust-
ing to ensure proper clamping pressure of
the headstock to the bed. Turn this lock nut
in small increments to fine tune the clamping
pressure as needed.
