ATTACHING THE BED EXTENSION

Disconnect the machine from the power source!

The total bed length of the lathe (center to center) can be increased to 37" by purchasing and installing an accessory bed extension. To attach the bed extension to the lathe:

1.Align the two holes in the end of the lathe bed (A) Fig. 30 with the two holes (B) in the end of bed extension. Fasten the extension to the lathe bed with two M10 x 40 x 1-1/2" hex head screws, lockwashers, and flat washers (C) using the supplied wrench (D).

2.IMPORTANT: Before tightening the screws, use a straight edge (E) Fig. 33 to level the lathe bed (A) with the bed extension (B).

MACHINE USE

The following directions will give the inexperienced operator a beginning point for common lathe operations. Practice on scrap material before attempting serious work.

LATHE TOOLS

Standard wood turning tools come in several different configurations (Fig. A1). The majority of turnings will require the gouge tool (A) Fig. A1. Use this round-nosed hollow chisel for roughing cuts, cove cuts, and other operations. The skew chisel (B) is a double-ground flat chisel, with an angled end. Use this tool for smoothing cylinders, for cutting shoulders, beads, vee-grooves, etc. The parting tool (C) is a double-ground chisel, used for cutting-off, or for making straight incisions or sizing cuts to any required diameter. Use the round-nose scraper (D) for mostly hollowing work, and the square-end scraper for the outside of bowls.
