WARNING: For your own safety, after adjusting the tool rest be sure and lock the tool rest base and the tool rest.

Look at the speed chart. Notice that a 2" square turning up to 18" long should run at 875 R.P.M. for "roughing". Move the V- belt on the pulleys to the slowest speed as outlined under "Changing Speeds" section.

WARNING: For your own safety rotate the wood by hand to make sure that the corners do not strike the tool rest or anything else before turning the lathe "ON". Always be sure the workpiece is properly mounted and the lathe is set at the proper speed (RPM).
