Additional Safety for Wood Lathes

9. OPERATING DAMAGED LATHE. Never

1. KEEPING GUARDS IN PLACE. Make sure

all guards are in place and that the lathe sits

on a flat, stable surface.

operate the lathe with damaged or worn

parts.

10. ADJUSTMENTS/MAINTENANCE. Make

sure your wood lathe is turned OFF, dis-

connected from its power source, and all

moving parts have come to a complete stop

before starting any inspection, adjustment,

or maintenance procedure.

2. EYE/FACE PROTECTION. Always wear

eye protection or a face shield when operat-

ing the lathe.

3. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION. Always

wear a respirator when using this machine.

Wood dust may cause allergies or long-

term respiratory health problems.

11. STOPPING LATHE. DO NOT stop the lathe

by using your hand against the workpiece.

Allow the lathe to stop on its own.

4. MOUNTING WORKPIECE. Before starting,

be certain the workpiece has been properly

imbedded on the headstock and tailstock

centers and that there is adequate clear-

ance for the full rotation.

12. AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Keep long

hair and loose clothing articles such as

sleeves, belts, and jewelry items away from

the lathe spindle.

5. WORKPIECE CONDITION. Always inspect

the condition of your workpiece. DO NOT

turn pieces with knots, splits, and other

potentially dangerous conditions. Make sure

joints of glued-up pieces have high quality

bonds and won't fly apart during operation.

13. FACEPLATE TURNING. When faceplate

turning, use lathe chisels on the downward

spinning side of the workpiece only.

14. SANDING/POLISHING. Remove the tool

rest when performing sanding or polishing

operations on the rotating spindle.

6. ADJUSTING TOOL REST. Adjust tool rest

to provide proper support for the turning tool

you will be using. Test tool rest clearance

by rotating workpiece by hand before turn-

ing lathe ON.

15. MATERIAL REMOVAL RATE. Removing

too much material at once may cause

workpiece to fly out of the lathe.

16. REDUCING WORKPIECE VIBRATION. If

the workpiece vibrates, immediately turn

the lathe OFF. Check to make sure the

workpiece is centered and balanced. Trim

excess waste off corners with a bandsaw

or table saw to reduce vibration. Make sure

workpiece is securely attached in setup.

7. TURNING SPEED. Select the correct tun-

ing speed for your work, and allow the lathe

to gain full speed before using.

8. USING SHARP CHISELS. Keep lathe chis-

els properly sharpened and held firmly in

position when turning.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete.

Every shop environment is different. Always

consider safety first, as it applies to your

individual working conditions. Use this and

other machinery with caution and respect.

Failure to do so could result in serious per-

sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor

work results.

Like all machinery there is potential danger

when operating this machine. Accidents are

frequently caused by lack of familiarity or

failure to pay attention. Use this machine

with respect and caution to lessen the pos-

sibility of operator injury. If normal safety

precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-

ous personal injury may occur.

Clean Up

Site Considerations

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy

oil to prevent corrosion during shipment. Remove

this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or

citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895

Citrus Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts

must be removed. For optimum performance

from your machine, clean all moving parts or

sliding contact surfaces. Avoid chlorine-based

solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner

that may damage painted surfaces. Always follow

the manufacturer’s instructions when using any

type of cleaning product.

Floor Load

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight

and footprint specifications of your machine.

Some workbenches may require additional rein-

forcement to support both the machine and the

workpiece.

Placement Location

Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of

material to be processed through each machine,

and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or

other machinery when establishing a location for

your new machine. See Figure 5 for the minimum

working clearances.

Gasoline and petroleum

products have low flash

points and can explode

or cause fire if used to

clean machinery. DO

NOT use these products

to clean the machinery.

110V

15"

Many cleaning solvents

are toxic if inhaled.

Minimize your risk by only

using these products in a

well ventilated area.

Figure 5. Minimum working clearances.

G7895—Grizzly Citrus Degreaser

This natural, citrus-based degreaser is a great

solution for removing export grease, and it’s much

safer to work around than nasty solvents.

Children and visitors may be

seriously injured if unsuper-

vised. Lock all entrances to

the shop when you are away.

DO NOT allow unsupervised

children or visitors in your

shop at any time!

To remove the live center:

1. Turn the quill handwheel counterclockwise

until the tailstock quill bottoms out, causing

the center to be forced out of the quill.

The tailstock quill lock handle must always

be locked down while the lathe is in use. The

workpiece can be thrown from the lathe if

this step is not observed. Also, the tailstock

quill should not protrude from the tailstock

housing more than 2'' or the quill will not be

supported enough. Failure to follow these

warnings may result in personal injury.

Figure 15. Tightening faceplate.

To mount a workpiece to your faceplate, refer to

Page 19.

Installing/Removing

Faceplate

Selecting Turning

Tools

The faceplate can be installed only if the spur cen-

ter has been removed from the headstock spindle.

The knock-out bar is included with the lathe for

installing and removing the faceplate.

Lathe tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes

and usually fall into five major categories.

•

Gouges—Mainly used for rough cutting,

detail cutting, and cove profiles. The rough

gouge is a hollow, double-ground tool with

a round nose, and the detail gouge is a hol-

low, double-ground tool with either a round or

pointed nose. Figure 16 shows an example

of a gouge.

To install the faceplate:

1. UNPLUG LATHE FROM POWER!

2. Remove the spur center (See Page 15).

3. Thread the faceplate onto the headstock

spindle.

4. Using the knock-out bar, hand tighten the

faceplate as shown in Figure 15.

Note: Reverse Steps 3-4 to remove the face-

plate.

Figure 16. Gouge.

•

Skew Chisel—A very versatile tool that can

be used for planing, squaring, V-cutting,

beading, and parting off. The skew chisel is

flat, double-ground with one side higher than

the other (usually at an angle of 20-40˚).

-16-

Figure 17 shows an example of a skew chisel.

Spindle Turning

Spindle turning (Figure 20) is the operation per-

formed when a workpiece is mounted between

the headstock and the tailstock.

Figure 17. Skew chisel.

•

Scrapers—Mainly used where access for

other tools is limited, such as hollowing oper-

ations. This is a flat, double-ground tool that

comes in a variety of profiles (Round Nose,

Spear Point, Square Nose, etc.) to match

many different contours. Figure 18 shows an

example of a round nose scraper.

Typical spindle turning operation.

Figure 20.

To set up a spindle turning operation:

Figure 18. Round nose scraper.

1. Mark both ends of your workpiece by draw-

ing diagonal lines from corner to corner. The

intersection point of these lines will show you

the center of your workpiece. See Figure 21

for details.

•

Parting Tools—Used for sizing and cut-

ting off work. This is a flat tool with a sharp

pointed nose that may be single- or double-

ground. Figure 19 shows an example of a

parting tool.

��

Figure 19. Parting tool.

•

Specialty Tools—These are the unique,

special function tools to aid in hollowing, bowl

making, cutting profiles, etc. The Swan Neck

Hollowing Tool shown on Page 22 is a good

example of a specialty tool.

2. Using a wood mallet, tap the point of the spur

center into the center of the workpiece, so

that it leaves a center mark, then remove the

spur center.

9. Position the tool rest approximately ⁄4" away

from the workpiece and approximately ⁄8

above the center line, as shown in Figure

23.

3. Using a ¹⁄8" drill bit, drill a ³⁄16" deep hole at the

center mark.

4. Cut the corners off your workpiece if it is over

��

2" x 2" to make turning safer and easier.

��

5. Drive the spur center into the center of the

workpiece with a wood mallet to embed it at

least ¹⁄4", as shown in Figure 22.

��

Figure 23. Tool rest set ¹⁄8" above the

center line and ¹⁄4" away from workpiece.

10. Test the setup by hand turning the workpiece

to make sure there is enough clearance all

the way around before starting.

��

Spindle Turning Tips:

•

When turning the lathe ON, stand to the side

of the spinning direction until the lathe reach-

es full speed and you can verify that the lathe

will not throw the workpiece.

Figure 22. Spur center properly embedded.

6. With the workpiece still attached, insert the

spur center into the headstock spindle.

•

Use the slowest speed when starting or stop-

ping the lathe, and when rough cutting.

7. With the live center installed in the tailstock,

slide the tailstock toward the workpiece until

the live center touches the workpiece center-

point, then lock the tailstock in this position.

Select the right speed for the size of workpiece

you are turning. Use slower speeds for

large workpieces (4" diameter and over); use

the middle range speeds for medium sized

workpieces (2" to 4" diameter); and use faster

speeds for small sized workpieces (under 2"

in diameter).

8. Use the quill handwheel to push the live cen-

ter into the workpiece at least a ¹⁄4".

•

Keep the turning tool on the tool rest the

ENTIRE time that it is in contact with the

workpiece.

Do not press the workpiece too firmly with

the tailstock or the bearings will bind and

overheat. Likewise, do not adjust too loose-

ly or the workpiece will spin off the lathe.

Use good judgement. Serious personal

injury could result if care is not taken.

Learn the correct techniques for each tool

you will use. If you are unsure, read books or

magazines about lathe techniques and seek

training from experienced users.

•

Turn the lathe OFF immediately if the

workpiece vibrates excessively. Check to

make sure the workpiece is centered and

balanced. Remove the workpiece and trim

excess waste off corners with a bandsaw

or table saw to reduce vibration. Make sure

workpiece is securely attached in the setup.

NOTICE: Only use tap screws or wood screws

with non-tapered heads (Figure 25) to attach the

faceplate to the workpiece. Do NOT use drywall

screws or screws with tapered heads because

these can split the faceplate, or the screws may

snap off during operation.

��

Faceplate Turning

Faceplate turning (Figure 24) is when a workpiece

is mounted to the faceplate, which is mounted to

the headstock spindle. This type of turning is usu-

ally done with open-faced workpieces like bowls.

Figure 25. Correct and incorrect screw types for

mounting faceplate to workpiece.

To mount your workpiece to a backing block:

1. Make the backing block (Figure 26) from

a piece of scrap wood that is flat on both

sides.

Figure 24. Typical faceplate turning operation.

Backing

Block

To mount your workpiece to the faceplate:

1. Find the center of your workpiece in the same

manner as when spindle turning.

backing block.

3. Center the faceplate on the workpiece and

attach it through the faceplate holes with

wood screws.

2. Locate and mark the center of both the

workpiece and the backing block.

3. Drill a ⁄4" hole in the center of the backing

spindle and tighten securely.

4. Glue the center of the backing block to the

center of the workpiece (look through the

drilled hole to line up centers), clamp the

backing block to the workpiece, and wait for

the glue to cure according to the manufactur-

er’s recommendation.

Note: If screws cannot be placed in the workpiece,

then a backing block can be glued to the workpiece

and attached to the faceplate with screws.

Sanding/Finishing

��

Wrapping the sandpa-

per completely around

the workpiece will pull

your hands into the mov-

ing workpiece and may

cause injury. Never wrap

sandpaper completely

around the workpiece!

After turning, the workpiece can be sanded, as

shown in Figure 27, and finished (in the same

manner) before removing it from the lathe.

��

Whenever sanding or finishing, move the tool rest

holder out of the way to increase personal safety

and gain adequate working room.
