12. At each end of lathe, have assistants connect
guide rods to safely keep lathe from swaying
or tipping while lifting.
When lifting lathe with straps, the load will
be top heavy. Take extra care to keep load
balanced vertically, and only lift it far enough
to remove shipping pallet.
13.
Raise lathe a couple of inches and check
balance of load.
— If load is not safely balanced, immediately
lower lathe and resolve issue before
attempting to lift it again.
14. Raise lathe enough to clear shipping pallet,
carefully remove pallet, then lower lathe into
position.
Leveling & Mounting
We highly recommend that this lathe be fastened
to the floor using L-type anchor bolts set in
concrete that is part of a typical concrete lathe
foundation. By doing so, cutting or harmonic
vibration will be absorbed by the foundation and
not transferred to the workpiece finish. If using
anchor bolts set in concrete, the lathe must also
be leveled using shims. If using the included
lathe feet, the lathe must be leveled using the
leveling bolts.
For accurate turning results and to prevent
warping cast-iron bed and ways, lathe
bedways MUST be leveled from side to side
and from front to back on both ends.
Re-check bedways 24 hours after installation,
two weeks after that, and then annually to
make sure they remain level.
Leveling machinery helps precision components,
such as bedways, remain straight and flat during
the lifespan of the machine. Components on a
machine that is not level may slowly twist due to
the dynamic loads placed on the machine during
operation.
For best results, use a precision level (see Figure
16), that is at least 12" long and sensitive enough
to show a distinct movement when a 0.003" shim
(approximately the thickness of one sheet of
standard newspaper) is placed under one end of
the level.
Figure 16. Example of a precision level. Figure 16. Example of a precision level.
If using the included leveling pads (see Figure
17), place them under the six leveling jack bolt
locations, then adjust the bolts to level the lathe.
Most electrical codes require that machines
connected to the power source by fixed
conduit MUST be secured to the floor.
