Glossary Of Terms

The following is a list of common definitions, terms and phrases used throughout this manual as they relate

to this wood lathe and turning in general. Become familiar with these terms for assembling, adjusting or

operating this machine. Your safety is VERY important to us at Grizzly!

Bed: The long, rail-like metal base to which

the tailstock, tool base, and headstock are

attached.

Outboard Turning: Turning of workpiece with

the headstock situated at the far end of the

lathe so the work done is not over the bed of

the lathe.

Chuck: A mechanical device that attaches to the

spindle and holds the workpiece.

Roughing Out: Taking stock from square billet to

round blank.

Faceplate: The metal disc that threads onto the

headstock spindle.

Spindle: This term has two meanings. First, it

refers to the threaded shaft in the headstock

to which the faceplate is attached. Second, it

refers to any work that is spindle-turned.

Faceplate Turning: Turning situation in which

the grain of the turning stock is at right angles

to the lathe bed axis.

Spindle-Turning: Work performed where the

grain and length of the workpiece are parallel

to the axis of the bed.

Backing Block: A sacrificial piece of wood glued

to the base of the workpiece and screwed to

the faceplate. Often used to prevent mount-

ing marks from appearing on the completed

workpiece.

Swing: The capacity of the lathe, measured

by doubling the distance from the bed to the

spindle center.

Headstock: The cast metal box to which the

motor is attached and contains the spindle,

bearings, belts, and electrical components for

operating the lathe.

Tailstock: The metal component at the opposite

end of the bed from the headstock containing a

quill and live or dead centers. It maintains pres-

sure on the spindle-turned workpiece.

Index Head: The mechanism that allows the

headstock spindle to be locked at specific

intervals for layout or other auxiliary tasks.

Tool Base: The movable metal fixture attached

to the bed upon which the tool rest is fixed.

Offset Turning: A turning situation where the

center of the workpiece is offset at various

stages of the work to produce different shapes.

Tool Rest: The adjustable metal arm upon which

the tool rests during a turning operation.

Way: One of the metal rails that make up the bed

of the lathe.

Additional Safety for Wood Lathes

Serious injury or death can occur from getting entangled in, crushed between, or struck

by rotating parts on a lathe! Rotating workpieces can come loose and strike operator or

bystanders with deadly force if they are improperly secured, rotated too fast, or are not strong

enough for the rotational forces required for turning. Improper tool setup or usage can cause

tool kickback or grabbing, resulting in impact injury or entanglement. To reduce the risk of

operator (or bystander) injury or death, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed

the hazards and warnings below.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Availability

Circuit Information

Before installing the machine, consider the avail-

ability and proximity of the required power supply

circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the

requirements for this machine, a new circuit must

be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,

fire, or equipment damage, installation work and

electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or

qualified service personnel in accordance with all

applicable codes and standards.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical

equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel

in the building and the machine. The power sup-

ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to

safely handle the full-load current drawn from the

machine for an extended period of time. (If this

machine is connected to a circuit protected by

fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

For your own safety and protection of

property, consult an electrician if you are

unsure about wiring practices or electrical

codes in your area.

Electrocution, fire, or

equipment damage may

occur if machine is not

correctly grounded and

connected to the power

supply.

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to

a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will

be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will

be connected to a shared circuit where multiple

machines may be running at the same time, con-

sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to

ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

Full-Load Current Rating

The full-load current rating is the amperage a

machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.

On machines with multiple motors, this is the

amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all

motors and electrical devices that might operate

at one time during normal operations.

Circuit Requirements

This machine is prewired to operate on a power

supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets

the following requirements:

Full-Load Current Rating at 220V ....... 4 Amps

Nominal Voltage .........208V, 220V, 230V, 240V

Cycle..........................................................60 Hz

Phase........................................... Single-Phase

Power Supply Circuit ......................... 15 Amps

Plug/Receptacle ............................. NEMA 6-15

The full-load current is not the maximum amount

of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine

is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond

the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length

of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—

especially if connected to an undersized circuit.

To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over-

loading the machine during operation and make

sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that

meets the specified circuit requirements.

Grounding Requirements

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event

of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding

reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a

path of least resistance for electric current.

Serious injury could occur if you connect

machine to power before completing setup

process. DO NOT connect to power until

instructed later in this manual.

This machine is equipped with a power cord that

has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding

plug. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle

(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DO NOT modify the provided plug!

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The

wire with green insulation (with or without yellow

stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair

or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec-

essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding

wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

GROUNDED

6-15 RECEPTACLE

Check with a qualified electrician or service per-

sonnel if you do not understand these grounding

requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether

the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice

that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon-

nect it from power, and immediately replace it with

a new one.

Current Carrying Prongs

6-15 PLUG

Grounding Prong

Extension Cords

Figure 4. Typical 6-15 plug and receptacle.

We do not recommend using an extension cord

with this machine. If you must use an extension

cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only

on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can

damage electrical components and shorten motor

life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord

size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller

(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

No adapter should be used with plug. If

plug does not fit available receptacle, or if

machine must be reconnected for use on a

different type of circuit, reconnection must

be performed by an electrician or qualified

service personnel, and it must comply with

all local codes and ordinances.

Any extension cord used with this machine must

be in good condition and contain a ground wire

and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must

meet the following size requirements:

Minimum Gauge Size...........................14 AWG

Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.

Cleanup

Gasoline and petroleum

products have low flash

points and can explode

or cause fire if used to

clean machinery. Avoid

using these products

to clean machinery.

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are

coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that

prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.

This rust preventative works extremely well, but it

will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your

machine. The time you spend doing this now will

give you a better appreciation for the proper care

of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

Many cleaning solvents

are toxic if inhaled. Only

work in a well-ventilated

area.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven-

tative, but the following steps work well in a wide

variety of situations. Always follow the manufac-

turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you

use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated

area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

NOTICE

Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as

acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may

damage painted surfaces.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

•

Disposable rags

Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

Safety glasses & disposable gloves

Plastic paint scraper (optional)

T23692—Orange Power Degreaser

A great product for removing the waxy shipping

grease from your machine during clean up.

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

1. Put on safety glasses.

2. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal

amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak

for 5–10 minutes.

3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-

er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe

off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper,

scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe

off the rest with the rag.

Figure 8. T23692 Orange Power Degreaser.

4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,

then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality

metal protectant to prevent rust.

Site Considerations

Weight Load

Physical Environment

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight

of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon

which the machine is placed will bear the weight

of the machine, additional equipment that may be

installed on the machine, and the heaviest work-

piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the

weight of the operator and any dynamic loading

that may occur when operating the machine.

The physical environment where the machine is

operated is important for safe operation and lon-

gevity of machine components. For best results,

operate this machine in a dry environment that is

free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi-

cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.

Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are

generally those where the ambient temperature

range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity

range exceeds 20%–95% (non-condensing); or

the environment is subject to vibration, shocks,

or bumps.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will

be processed through this machine and provide

enough space around the machine for adequate

operator material handling or the installation of

auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,

leave enough space around the machine to open

or remove doors/covers as required by the main-

tenance and service described in this manual.

See below for required space allocation.

Electrical Installation

Place this machine near an existing power source.

Make sure all power cords are protected from

traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals, or

other hazards. Make sure to leave enough space

around machine to disconnect power supply or

apply a lockout/tagout device, if required.

Lighting

Children or untrained people

may be seriously injured by

this machine. Only install in an

access restricted location.

Lighting around the machine must be adequate

enough that operations can be performed safely.

Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract

or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Anchoring to Floor

Assembly

Number of Mounting Holes ............................ 4

To assemble lathe:

Diameter of Mounting Hardware................. ¹⁄2

1. Position stand legs upright approximately 58"

apart, and get them reasonably aligned (see

Figure 11).

Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping

or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur

during operation, resulting in a machine that runs

slightly quieter and feels more solid.

If the machine will be installed in a commercial or

workplace setting, or if it is permanently connect-

ed (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes

may require that it be anchored to the floor.

If not required by any local codes, fastening the

machine to the floor is an optional step. If you

choose not to do this with your machine, we rec-

ommend placing it on machine mounts, as these

provide an easy method for leveling and they have

vibration-absorbing pads.

2. Carefully position lathe assembly on top of

Anchoring to Concrete Floors

stands and align mounting holes.

Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)

are a popular way to anchor machinery to a con-

crete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the

floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move

the machine later, if needed. However, anytime

local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring

methodology specified by the code.

3. Secure lathe assembly to stand legs with (8)

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS

To complete a typical operation, the operator

does the following:

Operation Overview

1. Examines workpiece to make sure it is suit-

able for turning. No extreme bows, knots, or

cracks should exist.

The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-

ice machine operator with a basic understanding

of how the machine is used during operation, so

the machine controls/components discussed later

in this manual are easier to understand.

2. Prepares and trims up workpiece with a

bandsaw or table saw to make it roughly con-

centric.

Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is

not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn

more about specific operations, read this entire

manual and seek additional training from expe-

rienced machine operators, and do additional

research outside of this manual by reading "how-

to" books, trade magazines, or websites.

3. Installs workpiece between centers, or attach-

es it to faceplate or chuck.

4. Adjusts tool rest to ⁄8" above workpiece

centerline, and sets minimum clearance

between workpiece and lip of tool rest to ⁄4

gap.

5. Rotates workpiece by hand to verify spindle

and workpiece rotate freely throughout full

range of motion.

To reduce your risk of

serious injury, read this

entire manual BEFORE

using machine.

6. Verifies pulley ratio is set for type of wood

and size of workpiece installed.

7. Verifies spindle speed dial is turned all the

way counterclockwise so spindle does not

start in high speed.

Eye injuries or respiratory problems can

occur while operating this tool. Wear per-

sonal protective equipment to reduce your

risk from these hazards.

8. Verifies spindle direction switch is set for cor-

rect direction.

9. Puts on safety glasses, face shield, and res-

pirator.

10. Turns lathe ON, adjusts lathe speed, and

carefully begins turning operation, keeping

chisel against tool rest entire time it is cutting.

11. Turns lathe OFF when cutting operation is

Workpiece Inspection Adjusting Headstock

Some workpieces are not safe to turn or may

require modification before they are safe to turn.

Before turning, inspect all workpieces for the

following:

The Model G0766 headstock is equipped with a

cam-action clamping system to secure it to the

lathe bed. When the lever is tightened, a locking

plate lifts up underneath the bed and secures

the tailstock in place. The headstock can be

positioned anywhere along the lathe bed.

•

Workpiece Type:

This machine is intended for turning natural

wood products. Never attempt to turn any

composite wood materials, plastics, metal,

stone, or rubber workpieces; turning these

materials can lead to machine damage or

severe injury.

To position headstock along length of bed:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Loosen headstock lock lever (see Figure 16).

•

Foreign Objects:

Nails, staples, dirt, rocks and other foreign

objects are often embedded in wood. While

cutting, these objects can become dislodged

and hit the operator, cause tool grab, or break

the turning tool, which might then fly apart.

Always visually inspect your workpiece for

these items. If they can't be removed, DO

NOT turn the workpiece.

•

Large/Loose Knots:

Headstock Lock

Lever

Loose knots can become dislodged during

the turning operation. Large knots can cause

a workpiece to completely break in half

during turning and cause machine damage

and injury. Choose workpieces that do not

have large/loose knots.

Figure 16. Headstock lock lever location.

3. Slide headstock to desired location on bed,

and use headstock lock lever to secure head-

stock in position.

•

Excessive Warping:

Workpieces with excessive bowing or twist-

ing are unstable and unbalanced. Never turn

these workpieces at high speed, or instability

will be magnified and the workpiece can be

ejected from the lathe causing injury. Only

turn concentric workpieces!

Note: The large clamping hex nut underneath

the headstock will require occasional adjust-

ing to ensure proper clamping pressure of

the headstock to the bed. Turn this hex nut

in small increments to fine tune the clamping

pressure as needed.

Always operate lathe with headstock firmly

locked to bed. Otherwise, serious personal

injury may occur, as workpiece or faceplate

could shift during operation or be ejected

from lathe.

Tool Rest

Adjusting Tailstock

Adjusting Tool Rest

The tailstock adjusts in the same manner as the

headstock.

The tool rest assembly consists of two compo-

nents: the tool rest base (or banjo) and the tool

rest. The tool rest base moves forward/backward

and along the length of the lathe bed. The tool

rest rotates and moves up and down in the tool

rest base. Locks for both components allow you

to secure the tool rest in position as needed after

making these adjustments.

To position tailstock along length of bed:

1. Loosen tailstock lock lever and move tailstock

to desired position along bed, as shown in

Figure 17.

When adjusting the tool rest, position it as close

as possible to the workpiece without actually

touching it. This maximizes support where the

cutting occurs and minimizes leverage, reducing

the risk of injury if a "catch" occurs.

Tailstock Lock

Lever

Many woodturners typically set the height of the

tool rest ⁄8" above or below the centerline of the

workpiece, depending on their height, the type of

tool they're using, and the type of operation they're

performing. As a rule of thumb: For most (spindle)

turning operations, the cutting tool should con-

tact the workpiece slightly above centerline. For

most inside (bowl) turning operations, the cutting

tool should contact the workpiece slightly below

centerline.

Figure 17. Tailstock lock lever location.

2. Re-tighten tailstock lock lever to secure

Keeping all these factors in mind, your main goal

when adjusting the tool rest should be providing

maximum support for the type of tool being used,

in a position that is safe and comfortable for you.

tailstock to bed.

Note: The large clamping hex nut underneath

the tailstock will require occasional adjusting

to ensure proper clamping pressure of the

tailstock to the bed. Turn this hex nut in small

increments to fine tune the clamping pres-

sure as needed.

Improperly supported or positioned cutting

tools can "catch" on workpiece, ejecting

tool from your hands with great force. To

reduce this risk, always ensure tool rest is

properly positioned for each type of opera-

tion, cutting tool is firmly supported against

tool rest BEFORE cutting, and cutting tool

is properly positioned to cut at the correct

angle for tool and operation type.

Always operate lathe with tailstock firmly

locked to bed. Otherwise, serious personal

injury may occur by tailstock moving during

operation and workpiece being ejected at

high speed.

Note: The large clamping hex nut under-

neath the tool rest base will require occa-

sional adjusting to ensure proper clamping

pressure of the tool rest assembly to the bed.

Turn this hex nut in small increments to fine

tune the clamping pressure as needed.

Note: To maximize support, the tool rest

base should always be locked on both sides

of the bed. Never pull the tool rest so far back

Spindle Turning

Indexing

Spindle Turning

Indexing on a lathe is typically used for workpiece

layout and other auxiliary operations that require

equal distances around the workpiece circumfer-

ence, such as clock faces or inlays.

Spindle turning is the operation performed when

a workpiece is mounted between the headstock

and the tailstock, as shown in Figure 32.

By inserting the indexing pin into one of the four

outer indexes of the Model G0766 spindle housing

and engaging one of the 12 inner indexes in the

spindle, the workpiece can be positioned in 10°

increments, as shown in Figures 30–31.

2. Make a center mark by using a wood mallet

and tapping point of spur center into center of

workpiece on both ends.

7. With workpiece still attached, insert spur cen-

ter into headstock spindle (refer to Installing/

Removing Headstock Center on Page 24

for additional instructions).

3. Using a ⁄4" drill bit, drill a ⁄4" deep hole at

center mark on end of the workpiece to be

mounted on headstock spur center.

Note: Use tool rest to support opposite end of

workpiece so that workpiece and spur center

do not separate during installation.

Do not press the workpiece too firmly with

the tailstock or the bearings will bind and

overheat. Do not adjust the tailstock too

loosely or the workpiece will spin off the

lathe. Use good judgment and care, other-

wise, serious personal injury could result

from the workpiece being ejected at high

speeds.

Keep lathe tool resting on tool rest the

ENTIRE time it is in contact with workpiece

or when preparing to make contact between

lathe tool and workpiece. Otherwise, spin-

ning workpiece could force lathe tool out

Faceplate Turning

Spindle Turning Tips:

Faceplate Turning

•

When turning the lathe ON, stand away from

the path of the spinning workpiece until the

spindle reaches full speed and you can verify

that the workpiece will not come loose.

Faceplate turning is when a workpiece is mounted

to the faceplate, which is then mounted to the

headstock spindle, as shown in Figure 36. This

type of turning is usually done with open-faced

workpieces like bowls or plates.

•

Use the slowest speed when starting or stop-

ping the lathe.

Select the right speed for the size of workpiece

that you are turning (refer to Figure 25 on

Page 26).

•

Keep the turning tool on the tool rest the

ENTIRE time that it is in contact with the

workpiece.

Learn the correct techniques for each tool

you will use. If you are unsure about how to

use the lathe tools, read books or magazines

about lathe techniques, and seek training

from experienced and knowledgeable lathe

users.

Figure 36. Typical faceplate turning operation.

Mounting Workpiece on Faceplate

1. Mark workpiece center in same manner as

described in Spindle Turning (see Page 28).

Eye injuries or respiratory problems can

occur while operating this tool. Wear per-

sonal protective equipment to reduce your

risk from these hazards.

Note: Cut off corners of workpiece to make it

as close to "round" as possible, as described

in Spindle Turning, Step 5 (see Page 29).

2. Center faceplate on workpiece and attach it

(see Figure 37) with wood screws.

Figure 37. Typical attachment of faceplate to

workpiece.

Mounting Workpiece to Backing

Block

NOTICE

Only use screws with non-tapered heads

(see Figure 38) to attach faceplate to the

workpiece. Screws with tapered heads can

split faceplate or snap off during operation.

1. Make backing block from a suitable size

piece of scrap wood.

Note: Faces of backing block must be flat

and parallel to each other, or uneven surfac-

es will cause workpiece to spin eccentrically,

causing unnecessary vibration and runout. It

is best to mount backing block to faceplate

and turn other surface flat prior to mounting.

Correct

Incorrect

2. Locate and mark center of workpiece and

backing block.

3. Drill a ¹⁄4" hole through center of backing block.

Figure 38. Correct and incorrect screw types.

4. Look through hole in backing block to line up

center with workpiece and glue and clamp

backing block to workpiece.

3. Thread and secure faceplate onto headstock

spindle (refer to Installing Faceplate on

Page 26).

Note: Allow glue to cure according to manu-

facturer's instructions.

— If wood screws cannot be placed in

workpiece, faceplate can be mounted to a

backing block attached to workpiece (see

Mounting the Workpiece to a Backing

Block).

5. Follow Steps 1–3 under Mounting

Workpiece on Faceplate (see Page 30) to

attach backing block to faceplate.

Outboard Turning

Outboard turning is a variation of faceplate

turning and is accomplished with the headstock

positioned so the faceplate is not directly over the

bed, allowing a larger turning capacity than the

swing specification of the lathe.

The only way to rotate the headstock on this

machine is to remove it from the bed first, which

can be a heavy and cumbersome task. A much

simpler alternative to removing the headstock is

to remove the tailstock and slide the headstock

to the other end of the bed. This will position the

spindle so it is not directly over the bed whereby

outboard turning can safely be accomplished.

To outboard turn:

Sanding/Finishing

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

After the turning operations are complete, the

workpiece can be sanded and finished before

removing it from the lathe, as shown in Figure 40.

2. Remove tailstock and tool base from machine

by removing hex nuts and clamp washers

located underneath assemblies, then lifting

them from lathe bed.

3. Loosen headstock, then move it all the way to

tail end of lathe bed, as shown in Figure 39.

Figure 40. Typical sanding operation.

Note: Whenever sanding or finishing, move tool

rest holder out of the way to increase personal

safety and gain adequate working room.

Figure 39. Example of lathe prepared for

outboard turning.

4. Re-tighten headstock to bed.

Sandpaper

Wrapping

sandpa-

per completely around

workpiece could pull

your hands into mov-

ing workpiece and may

cause serious injury.

Never wrap sandpa-

per or finishing materi-

als completely around

workpiece.

When outboard turning, ALWAYS use a

floor-mounted tool rest and keep tool in

contact with rest during all turning opera-

tions. Failure to do so could cause tool to be

pulled out of operator's control and ejected

at high speed.

Scrapers—Typically 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.

Selecting Turning

Tools

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 43. Example of a round nose scraper.

•

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 41. Example of a 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°).

Figure 44. Example of a 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 34 is a good

example of a speciality tool.
