STEP 18
(Machining the Flywheel)
NOTE:
Complete Steps 15-17 successfully before
proceeding or damage to the Flywheel or
lathe may occur
.
1. Rotate the Cross Feed Hand Wheel counter clock
wise so that the cutting tip is positioned just inside the
inner edge flywheel surface.
2. Loosen the Spindle Feed Locking Knob.
3. Loosen the Spindle Handle Wheel Locking Knob.
4. Rotate the Spindle Feed Hand Wheel clock wise until
the Cutter just touches the Flywheel Surface.
5. Rotate the Spindle Feed Hand Wheel counter
clockwise until the Cutter just clears the flywheel surface.
6. Lock the Cross Feed Hand Wheel.
7. Loosen the Cross Feed Lock Knob.
8. Check all clearances closely to make sure that nothing
will “crash” when the power is turned on and the flywheel
starts rotating.
NOTE:
It may help to manually turn the Flywheel
by hand to check all clearances.
ENSURE THAT THE CUTTING TIP IS CLEAR OF THE
FLYWHEEL PRIOR TO TURNING ON THE SPINDLE
MOTOR.
MAKE SURE THE DRUM / ROTOR CROSS FEED
SWITCH IS IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION.
KEEP HANDS clear of moving parts at all times. Keep
hair, loose clothing, neckties, shop rags, jewelry, fingers,
and all parts of body away from moving parts.
Always wear safety glasses or a face shield.
Cutting an exposed surface such as a brake drum, rotor
or flywheel will produce flying chips and debris.
9. Turn on the Main Power Switch.
10. Move the Feed Selector switch to the Rotor position.
11. Set the Speed Feed Dial to 4-6.
12. Rotate the Spindle Feed Hand Wheel counter -clock-
wise to remove approximately 5 - 6 thousandth of and
inch of material.
13. Lock the Spindle Feed Hand Wheel.
14. Lock the Spindle Feed Lock Nut.
NOTE:
When machining cup-type flywheels you must stay
with the lathe, because you must stop the unit and
reposition the tool bar for the outside lip surface.
You must also remove the same amount from the
outside mounting surface as was removed from the
lower surface; failure to do this may cause incorrect
clutch operation.
