Assembly  
Tools required for assembly  
Forklift or hoist with straps/slings  
14mm wrench  
4mm and 8mm hex wrenches  
The Lathe should be  
disconnected from power during assembly.  
1. Remove any screws or straps that hold the  
Lathe parts to the pallet, and remove  
protective wrapping.  
2. The Lathe should be located in a dry area,  
on a sturdy floor, and with sufficient lighting.  
Leave plenty of space around the machine  
for operations and routine maintenance  
work.  
If you have a hoist or forklift:  
3. Lift the Lathe off the pallet using a forklift or  
hoist, and move it to the desired location.  
(Forks may need to be positioned more  
toward the headstock to balance the  
weight.) Proceed to step 6 to install the legs  
and levelers while the Lathe is still off the  
floor.  
If you do NOT have a hoist or forklift:  
4. If a forklift or hoist is not available, the use  
of one or more assistants is mandatory. First  
decrease the weight on the Lathe by  
removing the headstock, tailstock and tool  
support base (Refer to “Headstock and  
Tailstock Movement” on page 13 for  
removal instructions).  
The headstock is heavy; use  
caution when removing it from the lathe bed.  
Figure 1  
5. Lift the Lathe bed and set it upside down on  
the floor (make sure padding/cloths have  
been laid down to prevent scratching the  
bed). Or, set the Lathe bed upon a table of  
sufficient height to allow the legs and  
levelers to be assembled, as shown in  
Figure 1.  
6. While the Lathe is off the floor, install the  
legs to the bed using eight socket head cap  
screws with eight lock washers and eight flat  
washers (Figure 1). Tighten the screws  
firmly with a 8mm hex wrench.  
7. Screw the levelers into the threaded holes  
of the legs (Figure 1). Tighten the hex nuts  
against the bottom of the legs with a 14mm  
wrench.  
8

8. The levelers can be adjusted at any time to  
ensure the Lathe is stable and level.  
9. Set the Lathe right side up (or remove it  
from the table).  
10. Exposed metal areas of the Lathe, such as  
the bed and spindles, have been factory  
coated with a protectant. This should be  
removed with a soft cloth and a cleaner-  
degreaser. Clean the bed areas under the  
headstock, tailstock and tool support base.  
Do not use an abrasive pad, and do not  
allow solvents to contact painted or plastic  
areas.  
Figure 2  
11. Re-install headstock, tool support base, and  
tailstock.  
Comparator Rear Bracket  
Mount the comparator rear bracket (A, Figure 2)  
to the back of the tailstock with two 3/8 x 1-1/4  
socket head cap screws, two 3/8 lock washers  
and two 3/8 flat washers (B, Figure 2). The  
bracket has a slot so it can be aligned with the  
bracket on the headstock. (See “Comparator –  
Installing and Using” for further information.)  
Tool Caddy  
Figure 3  
The tool caddy, shown in Figure 3, can be  
mounted to the left end or right end of the Lathe.  
The left end, near the headstock area, is  
generally preferred for convenience. Use two  
socket head cap screws and two lock washers  
with an 8mm hex wrench to secure the tool  
caddy to the threaded holes in the Lathe.  
The tool caddy has holes for placing the  
knockout rod, spur center, live center, live center  
pin, comparator centers, and faceplate wrench.  
Accessories can also be stored in the tailstock,  
as shown in Figure 4.  
Guard  
Figure 4  
The guard must always be  
used in operations that will allow its use.  
1. On the guard, loosen the set screw on the  
outer collar (shown in Figure 5) with a 4mm  
hex wrench. Slide the outer collar off the  
guard support rod.  
2. Insert the guard support rod into the  
mounting bracket at the rear of the  
headstock, as shown in Figure 5. You will  
have to lift up on the spring pin, as shown,  
to slide the guard support rod into the  
mounting bracket. Release the spring pin  
and it will snap into position as you slide the  
support rod farther in.  
Figure 5

3. Install the outer collar and tighten the set  
screw.  
4. The guard can be pivoted to one of two  
positions: Operating mode (shown on front  
cover) or tilted back for stock loading  
(shown in Figure 6).  
5. Pull up on the spring pin, and begin tilting  
the guard, then release the spring pin.  
When the guard reaches either of the two  
positions, the spring pin will engage.  
Bed Extension (Optional Accessory)  
Figure 6  
An optional 18” bed extension assembly, stock  
number 6294727B, is available for the Lathe  
(see your Powermatic dealer). To mount the bed  
extension to the Lathe:  
1. Slide the tailstock away from the edge of the  
bed.  
2. Have an assistant hold the bed extension  
flush to the end of the Lathe bed, and insert  
three 3/8 x 1-3/4 socket head cap screws,  
three 3/8 lock washers and three 3/8 flat  
washers, through the holes in the bed  
extension into the threaded holes on the  
Lathe. See Figure 7.  
Figure 7  
(optional 18” bed extension shown)  
3. Shift the bed extension upward so that it is  
slightly higher than the Lathe bed. Tighten  
the screws with an 8mm wrench just enough  
to hold the bed extension to the Lathe bed.  
IMPORTANT: The surface of the bed  
extension must be level with the surface of  
the Lathe bed to allow smooth movement of  
the tailstock across the seam.  
4. Use a dead blow mallet, or a hammer with a  
block of wood, to tap down the bed  
extension until it is flush with the Lathe bed.  
See Figure 8. Never use a steel-faced  
hammer directly against the bed  
surfaces. Tap the bed extension where  
needed until its surface is aligned with the  
Lathe bed, and the inside ways are aligned.  
5. Firmly tighten the three socket head cap  
screws. Make sure your alignment of the  
bed surfaces doesn’t shift while tightening  
the screws.  
Figure 8  
6. Unscrew the stop bolt from the Lathe bed  
(Figure 7), and screw it into the hole at the  
end of the bed extension.  
10

For outboard turning, where the headstock is  
moved to the opposite end of the Lathe to  
accommodate large bowl blanks, you can (1)  
mount the 18” bed extension to the three lower  
holes on the Lathe frame, and (2) mount a  
vertical extension post [optional accessory,  
stock number 3520B-310] to the tool rest base.  
See Figure 9.  
Shelf Assemblies (Optional)  
The double ledges on the inside of the Lathe  
legs will provide support for a shelf (not  
provided), which is convenient for storing larger  
items while keeping them easily accessible.  
Figure 9  
(shown with optional accessories)  
Figures 10-11-12 illustrate three methods of  
creating a shelf, using common lumber and  
basic tools.  
IMPORTANT TIP: It is unlikely that a full-size  
shelf can be completely built and then inserted  
between the Lathe legs. Therefore, construct the  
shelf in pieces and insert screws only after the  
shelf has been established beneath the Lathe.  
Shelf Style 1 (Figure 10)  
Lay two 2x6 boards flat upon the inner ledges.  
Boards of 48” length are suitable, although 48-  
1/2” is optimal.  
Figure 10  
Shelf Style 2 (Figure 11)  
Lay two 2x4’s (or 2x6’s) on edge into the outer  
ledges. Boards of 48” length are suitable, 48-  
1/2” optimal.  
Cut two pieces from a plywood board, and  
screw them to the top edges of the 2x4’s. (One  
48” plywood piece will not fit through the legs of  
the Lathe; use at least two pieces.) Make the  
plywood pieces flush with the outside edge of  
the 2x4’s.  
Shelf Style 3: (Figure 12)  
This is a basket-style shelf consisting of two  
2x6’s and dowel rods. The advantage of this  
design is that most wood chips will fall through  
the shelf instead of accumulating on it. The  
instructions below are for building the shelf  
shown in Figure 12. The completed shelf is  
shown on the front cover of this manual.  
Figure 11  
Materials used:  
2 – 2x6’s (48” suitable, 48-1/2” optimal).  
8 – wood dowels, 4’ length, 5/8” diameter.

1. Mark your hole centers (2” centers) along  
the length of a 2x6. Place the holes so that  
the tops of the dowels will be even with the  
tops of the ledges on the Lathe. Also, adjust  
your hole centers as necessary so that the  
first and last dowel will begin at  
approximately the same distance from the  
ledge at both ends of the Lathe.  
2. Use a 5/8” spade bit chucked in a drill press  
or in a portable drill. Bore the holes through  
one 2x6; this will be the rear piece.  
3. On the other 2x6, do not bore through but  
only deep enough to securely hold the ends  
of the dowel rods. This will be the front  
Figure 12  
piece and will provide  
a
pleasing  
appearance at the front of your Lathe.  
4. When all holes have been bored, place the  
2x6’s on edge in the outer ledges of the  
Lathe.  
5. Cut the dowel rods to length with a miter  
saw or hand saw, so that after insertion the  
rods will be flush with the back of the rear  
2x6.  
6. Insert the dowel rods through the holes in  
the rear 2x6, as shown in Figure 12.  
7. A strip of wood can be screwed to the rear  
2x6 to cover the dowel holes and prevent  
the dowels from working out.  
Grounding Instructions  
Electrical connections must  
be made by  
a
qualified electrician in  
compliance with all relevant codes. This  
machine must be properly grounded to help  
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal  
injury.  
This machine must be grounded. In the event of  
a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides  
a path of least resistance for electric current to  
reduce the risk of electric shock.  
Improper connection of the equipment-  
grounding conductor can result in a risk of  
electric shock. The conductor, with insulation  
having an outer surface that is green with or  
without yellow stripes, is the equipment-  
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of  
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not  
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a  
live terminal.  
Check with a qualified electrician or service  
personnel if the grounding instructions are not  
completely understood, or if in doubt as to  
whether the tool is properly grounded.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord  
immediately.  
The Lathe will operate on single phase or three  
phase, 230 volt power supply. The Lathe should  
be connected to a dedicated circuit. Make sure  
the characteristics of your power supply match  
the specifications on the motor plate of the  
Lathe.  
Single Phase Operation  
A three wire pigtail for use on 230 volt single  
phase power is attached to the inverter and may  
be “hard-wired” to the power source, or  
connected to a UL/CSA listed receptacle plug.  
Connect the 230 volt supply to the black and  
white leads and ground the green lead.  
If you are hard-wiring the Lathe to a panel,  
make sure a disconnect is available for the  
operator. During hard-wiring of the Lathe, make  
sure the fuses have been removed or the  
breakers have been tripped in the circuit to  
which the Lathe will be connected. Place a  
warning placard on the fuse holder or circuit  
breaker to prevent it being turned on while the  
machine is being wired.

Extension cords  
If an extension cord is necessary, make sure the  
cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on  
the machine’s motor plate. An undersized cord  
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss  
of power and overheating.  
*based on limiting the line voltage drop to 5V at 150% of the  
rated amperes.  
NR: Not Recommended.  
Figure 13  
Use the chart in Figure 13 as a general guide in  
choosing the correct size cord. If in doubt, use  
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge  
number, the heavier the cord.  
Adjustments  
Headstock and Tailstock Movement  
To slide the headstock or tailstock, swing the  
locking handle (A, Figure 14) backward or  
forward until the headstock/tailstock can slide  
freely. When the headstock/tailstock is  
positioned, rotate the locking handle to tighten it  
securely.  
Figure 14

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
To remove headstock, tailstock or toolrest base  
from the bed, unscrew and remove either of the  
stop bolts (B, Figure 14). After re-mounting  
these items on the Lathe, re-insert the stop bolt.  
For most turning operations, except outboard  
turning, the headstock should be positioned at  
the left end of the bed, and only the tailstock  
moved to accomodate the workpiece.  
Cam Tightness  
If the headstock, tailstock or tool rest base does  
not tighten properly down against the Lathe bed  
when the locking handle is tightened, it may  
need adjusting. Figure 15 uses the tailstock as  
the example:  
1. Unscrew and remove the stop bolt on the  
end of the lathe bed (B, Figure 14) and slide  
the tailstock off the end of the bed.  
2. Turn the tailstock on its side, and tighten the  
lock nut with a wrench. See Figure 15.  
3. Mount tailstock on bed and insert the stop  
bolt.  
Figure 15  
Tool Support  
A 14” tool support is provided with your Lathe. It  
is designed to allow adjustment for height,  
position on the bed, and angle to the work.  
Loosen the locking handle on the tool support  
base (C, Figure 16) to slide the support base  
forward or back, and to angle it to the bed.  
Tighten the locking handle firmly before  
operating the Lathe.  
Loosen the small handle (D, Figure 16) to raise  
or lower the tool support and angle it to the  
work. Tighten the handle before operating the  
Lathe.  
Figure 16  
The small handle (D, Figure 16) can be inserted  
into one of three holes on the tool support base.  
The position shown in Figure 16 is preferred so  
that the locking handle contacts the groove in  
the tool rest shaft.  
Locking Handles  
Each small locking handle such as D, Figure 16  
can be rotated to a more convenient position.  
Simply lift up on the handle, rotate it on the pin,  
then release it, making sure it seats itself on the  
pin.

Live Center and Cone  
The live center cone, shown in Figure 17,  
screws clockwise onto the threads of the live  
center body.  
To remove the cone from the live center, first  
insert the live center pin through the hole in the  
live center body as shown in Figure 17. If the pin  
will not insert at first, rotate the cone until the pin  
can be inserted. The cone can now be removed  
by holding the body stationary while unscrewing  
the cone.  
Figure 17  
Indexer  
The indexer allows you to cut evenly spaced  
features in a workpiece while keeping the Lathe  
headstock spindle locked; for example, when  
cutting flutes on a spindle blank with a router,  
while the spindle blank is secured within the  
Lathe centers.  
There are 12 holes in the spindle collar spaced  
30° apart, and 4 holes in the headstock casting  
which accept the index pin (see Figures 18 and  
19). The combination of holes will allow you to  
mark your workpiece for evenly spaced features.  
1. To use the indexer, thread the index pin  
(Figure 18) into one of the four holes until  
the index pin engages the spindle and  
prevents it from turning. This will be your  
first indexing position.  
Figure 18  
2. Unscrew and remove the index pin, and  
look down the hole, carefully counting the  
number of holes as you rotate the spindle  
using the handwheel. Continue to rotate the  
spindle until you reach the hole needed for  
your second flute cutting, then re-insert the  
index pin.  
3. Refer to the more detailed instructions and  
chart on page 28 to determine in which  
holes to place the index pin relative to the  
number of flutes desired in your workpiece.  
Figure 19  
NOTE: Remove index pin before turning on  
the Lathe.  
Centers – Installing and Removing  
1. Disconnect Lathe from power source.  
2. To install a spur center or live center (the  
spur center should first be mounted to your  
workpiece; see under “Operation” for more  
details), clean the tapered end of the center  
and the inside of the headstock taper  
spindle, then push the center into the  
headstock spindle.  
15  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
3. To remove a spur center or live center, first  
remove the workpiece from the Lathe. Insert  
the knockout rod (Figure 20) through the  
hole in the handwheel and firmly tap the  
tapered end of the spur center. The sliding  
collar on the knockout rod helps give the  
necessary impact without having to use a  
mallet against the end of the rod.  
IMPORTANT: Hold the center by either placing  
your thumb and forefinger on the outside  
diameter of the spur center, or wrapping the  
center with a rag. The center can be damaged if  
allowed to fall.  
Figure 20  
Face Plate – Installing and Removing  
1. Disconnect Lathe from power source.  
2. Mount the face plate to your bowl blank.  
3. Push in the spindle lock button (Figure 21)  
and rotate the handwheel slightly until the  
spindle locks. Keep the spindle lock button  
pushed in.  
4. Install the face plate onto the threads of the  
headstock spindle and rotate clockwise  
hand-tight. When the Lathe is turned on  
(forward rotation), the rotational force will  
snug the face plate even further onto the  
threads.  
Figure 21  
If at any time you will be  
reversing spindle rotation, make sure the  
two set screws in the face plate are tight!  
One of these is shown in Figure 22. Failure  
to do this may cause the face plate to loosen  
from the headstock spindle.  
5. To remove the face plate, loosen the two  
socket set screws (Figure 22). Engage the  
spindle lock button and turn the face plate  
counterclockwise with the face plate  
wrench, as shown in Figure 21.  
Comparator – Installing and Using  
Figure 22  
The spindle comparator consists of two  
comparator centers inserted into the brackets at  
the back of the Lathe. The comparator is used to  
mount a finished, or “reference spindle” from  
which measurements can be taken, the  
measurements being transferred to the new  
piece which is being turned.  
The guard must be removed  
to use the spindle comparator. Use caution  
and wear a face mask when turning without  
the guard installed.  
1. Remove the guard from the headstock  
bracket.  
16

2. Install the comparator spur center into the  
headstock bracket, by lifting up on the  
spring pin and inserting the comparator spur  
center until its point is about even with the  
point of the spur center in the headstock  
spindle. See Figure 23. The spring pin in the  
bracket should engage one of the holes in  
the comparator center at this position.  
3. Install the rear comparator center in the  
tailstock bracket and tighten the bracket  
handle. See Figure 24.  
4. Mount the spur center with the spindle blank  
that you will be turning. Loosen the tailstock  
locking handle, and slide the tailstock until  
the live center is about 1-inch from the  
spindle blank, then tighten the locking  
handle. Advance the live center using the  
tailstock handwheel, until the live center is  
secured in the spindle blank.  
Figure 23  
5. Mount the reference spindle between the  
comparator centers, as shown in Figure 24.  
NOTE: The reference spindle should be  
mounted last after all adjustment of the  
tailstock and ram has been accomplished  
with the spindle blank. Likewise, when  
turning operation is complete, remove the  
reference spindle first.  
Figure 24  
(shown with optional 18” bed extension)  
Speed Change  
1. Disconnect Lathe from power source.  
2. To change speed ranges, pull open the  
access door on the headstock.  
3. Loosen the pivot lock handle (A, Figure 25)  
and lift up the tension handle (B, Figure 25)  
to raise the motor. Tighten the pivot lock  
handle (A, Figure 25) to hold the motor in  
the raised position.  
4. There should be sufficient slack in the belt  
to reposition it to the other steps on the  
sheaves. The label on the access door  
shows the required belt position.  
5. Loosen the pivot lock handle (A, Figure 25)  
and lower the motor to tension the belt. Be  
sure that the Poly-V grooves of the belt seat  
properly in the corresponding groove of the  
sheave. Do not overtension; a very light  
pressure on the tension handle (B, Figure  
25) is adequate to prevent belt slippage.  
Figure 25  
Belt shown in LOW speed range position  
6. Tighten the pivot lock handle (A, Figure 25).

Sheave and Belt Alignment  
The motor and spindle sheaves are aligned with  
each other at the factory, but if any service is  
performed that affects their alignment it is very  
important that they be realigned. To realign  
them, loosen the two set screws on the spindle  
sheave (C, Figure 25) with a hex wrench, and  
slide the spindle sheave into the proper position.  
Re-tighten set screws.  
When sheaves and belt are properly aligned,  
there should be no unusual pulsing sounds or  
noise coming from the belt.  
Checking Spindle Play  
The spindle bearing has been set at the factory  
for general turning applications. There should be  
no "end play" or looseness along the spindle’s  
axis. If any looseness should ever occur, it may  
be rectified by carefully tightening the bearing  
lock nut on the spindle, as follows. (See Figure  
26).  
1. Use a screwdriver to carefully bend back  
any tabs on the tabbed lock washer (C,  
Figure 26) that interfere with the insets (B,  
Figure 26) on the spanner nut.  
2. Place the end of a flat head screwdriver  
down against one of the insets of the  
bearing lock nut (B, Figure 26).  
Figure 26  
3. Tap the handle of the screwdriver with a  
mallet so that it turns the spanner nut (A,  
Figure 26) tighter in a clockwise direction.  
Rotate the spanner nut only about 1/16” at a  
time.  
Do not overtighten the  
spanner nut or the spindle bearings will  
overheat.  
4. The spanner nut should be tightened just  
enough to remove the end play and the  
spindle should still rotate very freely. Run  
the lathe for a time, and check for heat from  
the spindle bearings. If the bearings are  
running hot, the spanner nut is too tight and  
should be loosened slightly.  
5. After the spanner nut (B, Figure 26) has  
been properly adjusted, carefully bend back  
into place any tabs on the tabbed lock  
washer (C, Figure 26).  
Sheave/Drive Belt Replacement  
Replacing the spindle sheave can be a difficult  
procedure; it is recommended that the  
headstock be taken to an authorized service  
center for this.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
1. Disconnect Lathe from power source.  
2. Loosen the pivot lock handle (A, Figure 25)  
and lift up the tension handle (B, Figure 25)  
to raise the motor.  
3. Tighten the pivot lock handle (A, Figure 25)  
to hold the motor in the raised position. Slip  
the belt off the pulleys.  
4. Loosen the two set screws on the  
handwheel (A, Figure 26) with a hex  
wrench, and pull the handwheel off the  
headstock spindle.  
5. Loosen and remove the bearing lock nut (B,  
Figure 26) and tabbed lock washer (C,  
Figure 26).  
6. Slide the spindle a little way out of the  
headstock, just enough to remove sheave or  
belt.  
NOTE: You may have to tap the end of the  
spindle with a wood block to move it. (Do  
NOT use a steel face hammer directly  
against the spindle.)  
7. If replacing the spindle sheave, loosen the  
two set screws (C, Figure 25), and slide the  
sheave off the spindle.  
8. Install the new spindle sheave, loosely  
securing the two set screws. Make sure the  
sheave is oriented properly.  
9. Slide the spindle back into place, install  
tabbed lock washer (C, Figure 26), and  
bearing lock nut (B, Figure 26). Check for  
any spindle play at this point (See  
“Checking Spindle Play” section).  
10. Re-install the handwheel and tighten the set  
screws (A, Figure 26).  
11. Align the new sheave (see “Sheave and Belt  
Alignment”) then tighten the two set screws  
(C, Figure 26) securely on the sheave.  
12. Loosen the pivot lock handle and lower the  
motor using the tension handle. Re-tighten  
the pivot lock handle.  
Operating Controls  
See Figure 27.  
(A) On/Off Button: Push in to stop the machine;  
pull out to start the Lathe.  
NOTE: If there is a power outage while  
operating the Lathe, the Lathe will not  
automatically restart once power is restored.  
Cycle the on/off switch in order to restart the  
machine.

(B) Forward/Reverse  
When turning with a face  
plate, make sure both set screws on the face  
plate are tight (see Figure 22) before  
reversing the spindle. Failure to comply may  
cause the face plate to spin loose from the  
spindle.  
(C) Speed Control Dial: Always start the Lathe  
at the lowest speed, with the dial rotated all the  
way counter clockwise.  
A.C. Inverter (mounted to rear of headstock)  
The 3520B Lathe uses the latest technology in  
A.C. inverter drives to provide infinitely variable  
spindle speeds within the specified ranges  
(shown under “Specifications” on page 6). The  
inverter controls the speed of the motor by  
varying the frequency of the voltage supplied to  
the motor. The inverter provides an acceleration  
ramp that eliminates the shock of normal  
starting. Also, a braking feature eliminates long  
coasting periods after the Lathe is turned off.  
The 2 horsepower motor is specially designed  
for use with inverter drives, and is balanced to  
reduce noise and minimize vibration.  
The A.C. Inverter does not require any  
programming – it is pre-programmed from the  
factory. The buttons on the face of the  
inverter should never be pushed at any time.  
Use only the controls on the front of the  
headstock.  
If you suspect there is a problem with the  
inverter or the inverter settings, contact WMH  
Tool Group technical service at 1-800-274-6848.  
Operation  
The information which follows is general in  
nature and is not intended to be a complete  
course in wood turning. Nothing can replace the  
knowledge gained by talking with experienced  
woodturners or consulting books, articles, etc.  
Above all, simple trial and error will aid in  
developing proficiency in the craft.  
Inspection  
Before operating the lathe, check that everything  
is in proper working order:  
1. Level your machine; use the adjustable  
levelers to help reduce vibration.  
2. Check bearings; adjust only if endplay  
exists.  
3. Check belt; it should be snug but not overly  
tight.  
20  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
4. Bed ways; keep clean, use steel wool to  
remove any rust spots, and apply paste wax  
to prevent buildup of rust and finishes.  
5. Tool support; use a mill file to remove nicks  
and dings.  
6. Spindle tapers; should be clean and free of  
dust and chips for proper seating of tapers.  
7. Tailstock; clean and lubricate ram and  
locking device.  
Lighting; proper lighting is essential to eliminate  
shadows and reduce eye strain.  
Turning Tools  
If possible, select only quality, high-speed steel  
turning tools. High-speed steel tools hold an  
edge and last longer than ordinary carbon steel.  
As one becomes proficient in turning, a variety  
of specialty tools for specific applications can be  
acquired. The following tools provide the basics  
for most woodturning projects (see Figure 28):  
Skews – 1-1/2" and 1" or 1-1/4", used to make  
finishing cuts and details.  
Large Roughing Gouge – 1" to 1-1/4", used to  
eliminate waste wood.  
Spindle Gouges – 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", used to turn  
beads, coves and other details.  
Deep Fluted Bowl Gouge – 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2",  
used for turning bowls & plates.  
Square Scraper (Bedan) – 3/8” or 1/2", used to  
create square shoulders.  
Figure 28  
Large Round Nose (Domed) Scraper – 1-1/2",  
used to reduce ridges on interior of bowls, round  
edges of bowls, etc.  
Basic Turning Tools  
Parting Tool - 1/8", used for scraping, making a  
cut-off, or to set diameters for sizing.  
For safety and best performance, keep tools  
sharp. If a tool stops cutting or requires  
excessive pressure to make a cut, it needs to be  
sharpened.  
A
number of brand name  
sharpening jigs and fixtures are available;  
however, a woodturner should learn to sharpen  
tools freehand. For best results, use a slow  
speed grinder (1800 rpm) fitted with a 60-grit  
aluminum oxide wheel (for shaping) and a 100-  
grit alum. oxide wheel (for final sharpening and  
touchup). The grinder should be located near  
your lathe and at a comfortable height. A  
diamond dresser will keep the wheels true and  
eliminate glazing.  
Never allow the tool to rest in one place on the  
wheel, keep it moving and use a light touch.

Carbon steel tools can overheat easily and  
should be cooled frequently. If the edge turns  
blue, it has lost its temper and should be ground  
past the blue area.  
High-speed steel tools are not as likely to  
overheat, but can be damaged if allowed to get  
red hot. High-speed steel tools should not be  
quenched for cooling. Honing with a diamond  
lap or slipstone will save trips to the grinder and  
keep the edge fresh.  
Spindle Turning  
Spindle turning takes place between the centers  
of the lathe. It requires a spur or drive center in  
the headstock and a live or dead center in the  
tailstock. A cup center rather than a cone center  
in the tailstock will often reduce the risk of  
splitting the stock.  
Figure 29 shows the basic profile shapes in  
spindle turning.  
Figure 29  
Figure 30  
Figure 31  
Stock Selection  
Stock for spindles should be straight grained  
and free of checks, cracks, knots and other  
defects. It should be cut 1/8" to 1/4" larger than  
the finished diameter and may require additional  
length so the ends can be removed later. Larger  
stock should have the corners removed to  
produce an octagon making the piece easier to  
rough down to a cylinder.  
1. With a combination square, or plastic center  
finder for round stock, locate and mark  
center on each end of the workpiece.  
Accuracy is not critical on full rounds but  
extremely important on stock where square  
sections are to remain. Put a dimple in the  
stock with an awl or nail, or use a spring-  
loaded automatic center punch.  
2. Extremely hard woods may require kerfs cut  
into the ends of the stock (Figure 30) using  
a band saw, so the wood will accept the  
spur center and the live center.  
3. Drive the spur center about 1/4” into the  
workpiece, using a wood mallet or dead  
blow hammer as shown in Figure 31. Be  
careful that you do not split the workpiece.  
Never use a steel face hammer and never  
drive the workpiece onto the spur center  
while it is mounted in the Lathe spindle.  
4. Make sure the headstock is locked to the  
Lathe bed.  
5. Clean the tapered end of the spur center  
and the inside of the headstock spindle.  
6. Insert the tapered end of the spur center  
(with the attached workpiece) into the  
headstock spindle.  
22  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
7. Support the workpiece while bringing the  
tailstock into position about 1” away from  
the end of the workpiece. Lock the tailstock  
to the bed.  
8. Advance the tailstock spindle with the  
handwheel in order to seat the live center  
into the workpiece. Use enough pressure to  
secure the workpiece between the centers  
so that it won’t fly off, but do not use  
excessive pressure.  
9. Tighten the spindle locking handle.  
The tailstock ram is capable  
of exerting excessive pressure against the  
workpiece and the headstock. Apply only  
sufficient force with the tailstock to hold the  
workpiece securely in place. Excessive  
pressure can overheat center bearings and  
damage both workpiece and Lathe.  
10. Move tool support into position. It should be  
parallel to the workpiece, just below the  
centerline and approximately 1/8" to 1/4"  
from the corners of the workpiece to be  
turned, as in Figure 32. Tighten support  
base to Lathe bed.  
11. Rotate workpiece by hand to check for  
proper clearance.  
Figure 32  
12. Start lathe at lowest speed and bring it up to  
the appropriate RPM for the size of  
workpiece used. Consult digital readout on  
the headstock.  
Cutting Techniques  
Roughing Out  
1. Begin with a large roughing gouge. Place  
the tool on the tool support with the heel of  
the tool on the surface to be cut.  
2. Slowly and gently raise tool handle until  
cutting edge comes into contact with the  
workpiece.  
3. Beginning about 2” from the tailstock end of  
the workpiece, roll the flute (hollowed-out  
portion) of the tool in the direction of the cut.  
See Figure 33. Make long sweeping cuts in  
a continuous motion to rough the piece  
down to a cylinder.  
Figure 33  
4. Keep as much of the bevel of the tool as  
possible in contact with the workpiece to  
ensure control and avoid catches. NOTE:  
Always cut down-hill, or from large diameter  
to small diameter. Always work toward the  
end of a work-piece, never start cutting at  
the end.  
23  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
5. Once the workpiece is roughed down to a  
cylinder, smooth it with a large skew. Keep  
the skew handle perpendicular to the spindle  
and use only the center third of the cutting  
edge for a long smoothingcut (touching one  
of the points of the skew to the spinning  
workpiece may cause a catch and ruin the  
workpiece).  
2. Lightly mark the center of the "V" with the tip  
of the skew.  
3. Move the point of the skew to the right half  
of the desired width of your cut.  
4. With the bevel parallel to the right side of the  
cut, raise the handle and push the tool in to  
the desired depth, as shown in Figure 35.  
6. Add details to the workpiece with skew,  
parting tool, scraper or spindle gouge.  
Beads  
1. Make a parting cut for what is to be a bead  
to the desired depth. Place the parting tool  
on the tool support and move tool forward to  
make the full bevel of the tool come in  
contact with the workpiece. Gently raise  
handle to make cut to the appropriate depth.  
2. Repeat for other side of the bead.  
3. Using a small skew or spindle gouge, start in  
the center between the two cuts and cut  
down each side to form the bead. Roll the  
tool in direction of cut.  
Figure 35  
5. Repeat from the left side. The two cuts  
should meet at the bottom and leave a clean  
"V" cut.  
Coves  
1. Use a spindle gouge. With the flute of the  
tool at 90 degrees to the workpiece, touch  
the point of the tool to the workpiece and roll  
in towards the bottom of the cove. See  
Figure 34. Stop at the bottom; attempting  
to go up the opposite side may cause the  
tool to catch.  
6. Additional cuts may be taken to add to  
either the depth or width of the cut.  
Parting Off  
1. Use parting tool.  
2. Adjust lathe speed to lower RPM for parting  
through a workpiece.  
3. Place tool on tool support and raise the  
handle until it starts to cut and continue to  
cut toward the center of the workpiece.  
4. Loosely hold on to the piece in one hand as  
it separates from the waste wood.  
Sanding and Finishing  
Leaving clean cuts will reduce the amount of  
sanding required. Move the tool support out of  
the way, adjust the lathe to a low speed, and  
begin with fine sandpaper (120 grit or finer).  
Coarser sandpaper will leave deep scratches  
that are difficult to remove, and dull crisp details  
on the spindle. Progress through each grit  
without skipping grits (for example, do not jump  
from 120 grit to 220 grit). Fold the sandpaper  
into a pad; do not wrap sandpaper around your  
fingers or the workpiece.  
Figure 34  
2. Move the tool over the desired width of the  
cove.  
3. With the flute facing the opposite direction,  
repeat step 1 for other side of cove. Stop at  
bottom of cut.  
To apply a finish, the workpiece can be left on  
the lathe. Turn off the lathe and use a brush or  
paper towel to apply the finish. Remove excess  
finish before restarting lathe. Allow to dry and  
sand again with 320 or 400 grit sandpaper.  
Apply second coat of finish and buff.  
"V" Cuts  
1. Use the long point of the skew. (NOTE: Do  
not press the long point of the skew directly  
into the workpiece to create the "V"; this will  
result in a burned or burnished "V" with  
fibers being rolled up at both sides.)  
24

6. Glue the block to the workpiece. Avoid using  
brown paper or newspaper between the  
block and workpiece. It may work fine if you  
are using scrapers, but a slight catch with a  
bowl gouge can separate the two.  
Face Plate and Bowl Turning  
Face plate turning is normally done on the  
inboard side of the headstock over the bed.  
Larger workpieces must be turned on the  
outboard side (remove tailstock and tool support  
base, and move headstock to opposite end of  
bed). See Figure 9.  
NOTE: When using a glue block, be careful with  
the adhesive you select. Dry workpieces can be  
bonded with ordinary white or yellow glue but  
must be clamped to ensure a good bond. Green  
workpieces require cyanoacrylate type glue.  
Mounting Stock  
Use of a face plate is the most common method  
for holding a block of wood for turning bowls and  
plates:  
Faceplate or Chuck?  
While faceplates are the simplest, most reliable  
method of holding a block of wood for turning,  
chucks can also be used. As there are dozens  
of chucks to choose from, the woodturner should  
first consider all the different types of turning that  
will be done, and read reports or discuss with  
other turners who own chucks before making a  
decision.  
1. Select stock at least 1/8" to 1/4" larger than  
each dimension on the finished workpiece.  
2. Always select the largest diameter face plate  
that can be used for the workpiece to be  
turned.  
3. True one surface of the workpiece for  
mounting against the face plate.  
A chuck is not a requirement, but is handy when  
working on more than one piece at a time.  
Rather than removing screws, you simply open  
the chuck and change workpieces.  
4. Using the face plate as a template, mark the  
location of the mounting holes on the  
workpiece, and drill pilot holes of the  
appropriate size. Face plates are drilled for  
No. 12 screws. (Phillips and square drive  
screws will hold up better than slotted  
screws. Sheel metal screws are case  
hardened with deeper and sharper threads  
than wood screws.)  
The most popular ones are four jaw scroll  
chucks with a variety of jaws to accomodate  
different size tenons. Most also come with a  
screw chuck as well.  
Wood Selection  
If the mounting screws on the face plate  
interfere with the workpiece, a glue or waste  
block can be used:  
Firewood is the cheapest, most widely available  
stock to use while learning to turn bowls. Simply  
waste wood for a while practicing turning  
techniques. Develop skill with each tool before  
attempting to make a finished piece. It is best to  
start with dry wood, without worrying about  
drying or distortion. Once turning becomes  
comfortable, try green wood which cuts very  
easily. As the turner gains experience, he or she  
will find extraordinary grain and figure in the  
form of burls, crotches and bark inclusions.  
5. Make a block the same diameter as the face  
plate, Figure 36. Both glue block and  
workpiece should have flat surfaces for  
gluing.  
Checks and Cracks  
Green wood will check and crack. For best  
results, leave logs in as long a length as you can  
handle. As the material starts to dry, surface  
cracks will develop on the ends of the log. Cut  
off two to three inches and you should find good,  
sound wood. Also cut the log in half along the  
pith to avoid having it in the finished piece. Most  
checks radiate from the pith. As you turn bowls  
from green wood, make sure you maintain a  
consistent wall thickness throughout the piece.  
Leaving a piece thick in some areas and thin in  
others will cause the wood to dry unevenly and  
promote checks and cracks.

7. As the bowl takes shape, work on the  
bottom (tailstock end) to accomodate  
attaching a face plate.  
Distortion  
Distortion is a problem associated with turning  
green wood. It will vary from one type of wood to  
the next. Typically, fruitwoods tend to distort  
more than others. It also varies with the time of  
year the tree was cut and how the logs are  
stored.  
8. Turn a short tenon (about 1/8" long) the size  
of the hole in the faceplate. See Figure 37.  
This will allow centering the workpiece when  
the faceplate is attached.  
Tools for Bowl Turning  
The deep fluted bowl gouge is the most  
essential and versatile tool for most bowl and  
plate turning. The bowl gouge is heavier and  
easier to control than other types of gouges. It  
also allows removal of wood much faster and  
with less vibration than other gouges. Most  
average sized bowl work can be accomplished  
with a 3/8" or 1/2" bowl gouge. A 1/4" bowl  
gouge is best suited for smaller bowls and light  
finishing cuts. Larger 3/4" and 1" bowl gouges  
are only used for extremely large pieces.  
Figure 37  
Large domed scrapers can also be used to help  
clean up the interior surfaces of bowls. A light  
touch with the scraper slightly tilted will eliminate  
some of the ridges occasionally left by an  
inexperienced bowl gouge.  
9. (NOTE: If you plan to use a chuck, turn a  
tenon of the appropriate length and diameter  
to fit your chuck.)  
10. Stop the lathe, remove workpiece and attach  
face plate or chuck (see "Mounting Stock"  
above).  
Bowl Turning Techniques  
To Shape Outside of Bowl  
The surfaces of faceplate and  
1. Odd shaped burls, crotches and other  
irregular shaped blanks require special  
preparation before mounting in a chuck or  
onto a faceplate. Remove the bark, if there  
is any, from what appears to be the center of  
the top of the workpiece.  
workpiece should mount flush to each other.  
11. Finish turning the outside of bowl with 1/2"  
or 3/8" bowl gouge. Leave additional  
material at base of bowl for support while  
turning interior. This will be removed later.  
To Shape Interior of Bowl  
2. Drive spur center into the top of the  
workpiece with a mallet or dead blow  
hammer.  
1. Stop the lathe and move tailstock away.  
(You may want to remove the center from  
the tailstock to prevent bumping it with your  
elbow.)  
3. Slip the spur center into the headstock taper  
and bring the tailstock with a live or ball  
bearing center into position. Lock the  
tailstock to the bed and advance the  
tailstock spindle in order to seat the cup  
center into the workpiece. Tighten the ram  
locking handle.  
2. Adjust tool support in front of the bowl just  
below centerline, at a right angle to the lathe  
ways.  
3. Rotate workpiece by hand to check  
clearance.  
4. Turn workpiece by hand to ensure proper  
clearance.  
4. Face off top of bowl by making a light  
shearing cut across the top of workpiece,  
from rim to center.  
5. Start lathe at lowest speed and bring it up to  
the maximum safe speed for the size of  
work to be turned (see page 30). If the  
machine starts to vibrate, lower the speed  
until vibration stops.  
5. Place 1/2" bowl gouge on tool support at  
center of the workpiece with the flute facing  
top of bowl. The tool handle should be level  
and pointed toward the four o'clock position,  
as shown in Figure 38.  
6. Rough out the outside of the bowl with the  
1/2" deep fluted bowl gouge, holding the  
handle of the tool firmly against your hip. For  
best control, use your whole body to move  
the gouge through the workpiece.

pressure. Coarser sandpaper tends to leave  
deep scratches that are hard to eliminate.  
Use power-sanding techniques to avoid  
concentric sanding marks around your  
finished piece. Avoid rounding over the rim  
and foot with sandpaper; try to keep details  
crisp. Finish sanding with 220 grit.  
3. Remove sanding dust with tack rags or  
compressed air and, with lathe turned off,  
apply first coat of finish. Let stand for several  
minutes, wipe off excess. Allow to dry before  
sanding again with 320 or 400 grit  
sandpaper.  
Figure 38  
6. Use the left hand to control cutting edge of  
gouge, while right hand swings tool handle  
around toward your body (Figure 38). The  
flute should start out facing top of workpiece,  
and rotate upward as it moves deeper into  
the bowl to maintain a clean even curve. As  
the tool goes deeper into the bowl,  
progressively work out toward the rim. It  
may be necessary to turn the tool support  
into the piece as you get deeper into the  
bowl.  
4. Turn lathe back on and continue the  
separation cut almost all the way through  
the base. Stop at about 3" and use a small  
fine tooth saw to separate the bowl from the  
waste.  
5. Apply second finish coat and allow to dry  
before buffing.  
Maintenance  
(NOTE: Try to make one, very light  
continuous movement from the rim to the  
bottom of the bowl to ensure a clean,  
sweeping curve through the piece. Should  
there be a few small ridges left, a light cut  
with a large domed scraper can even out the  
surface.)  
Before doing maintenance on  
the Lathe, disconnect it from the electrical  
supply by pulling out the plug or switching  
off the main switch. Failure to comply may  
cause serious injury.  
Maintenance on the 3520B Lathe should be  
performed at periodic intervals to ensure that the  
machine is in proper working order, that all  
fasteners are tight, and all necessary  
adjustments have been made. Inspection and  
maintenance should be performed at least twice  
a year, but more frequently if the Lathe receives  
constant use.  
7. Develop wall thickness at the rim and  
maintain it as you work deeper into the bowl  
(Once the piece is thin toward the bottom,  
you cannot make it thinner at the rim). When  
the interior is finished, move the tool support  
to exterior to re-define bottom of bowl.  
(General rule of thumb: the base should be  
approximately 1/3 the overall diameter of the  
bowl).  
Clean and oil the lathe bed(s) so that headstock,  
tailstock and tool support base will slide easily.  
Clean any rust spots that may develop on the  
bed with a commercial rust remover.  
8. Work the tight area around faceplate or  
chuck with 1/4" bowl gouge.  
Use compressed air to blow out the interior of  
the headstock, in order to keep sawdust and  
chips from accumulating on belts and sheaves.  
Also blow off debris that accumulates on the  
inverter. Do not disassemble inverter to  
clean!  
9. Begin the separation with a parting tool, but  
do not cut all the way through yet.  
Sanding and Finishing  
1. Remove the tool support and adjust lathe  
speed to approximately 500 RPM. High  
speed can build friction while sanding and  
cause heat check in some woods.  
Frequently clean out the morse tapers on both  
headstock and tailstock. Commercially available  
taper cleaners may be acquired from tool stores.  
2. Begin with fine sandpaper (120 grit) and  
progress through each grit, using only light

Indexer Positions  
How to use the chart  
The indexer is shown as viewed from the  
tailstock end of the Lathe. Points A, B, C and D  
are the holes in the head casting. The holes in  
the spindle collar may be considered as  
numbered 1 through 12.  
Example: You wish to rout 9 flutes on your  
spindle blank. Locate the “9” in the “No. of  
Flutes” column; each flute angle will be 40°. The  
index pin should first be inserted into hole  
combination “A-1”. Make your first flute at this  
position. Back off the index pin and rotate the  
spindle until the index pin can be inserted into  
hole combination “A-5”; this will be followed by  
“A-9”. Succeeding flutes will be made with the  
index pin in the B position: “B-2”, “B-6” and so  
on.

Electrical: Remote ON/OFF Switch (Optional Accessory)  
NOTE: The Lathe can only operate when both the headstock and remote switches are in the “ON”  
position.  
To mount the remote switch to your Lathe, proceed as follows.  
1. Disconnect all electrical power to the Lathe.  
2. Remove the two screws from the control panel. Do NOT disconnect control panel from wiring  
harness.  
3. Run the remote switch’s wiring harness through the opening in the back of the headstock and out  
through the front of the headstock.  
4. Connect the remote switch’s wiring harness to the back of the Push/Pull switch (refer to the electrical  
schematic on page 40).  
5. Reinstall the control panel to the headstock. From the back of the headstock, lightly pull out any  
excess wire that may be inside the headstock.  
6. The magnetic back on the remote switch will allow the switch to be placed anywhere on the Lathe.  
7. Connect electrical power to the Lathe and resume operations.
