Finding the Center of the Wood Stock
Use only fresh, square lengths of wood stock or stock that has clearly defined center points
on each end of the stock. Follow the Steps below to find the center of the wood stock.
1.
Draw two diagonal lines across each end of the wood stock, from one corner to the
other corner.
2.
The point where the two lines cross is the center of the wood stock.
with an awl or drill.
Mounting the Wood Stock
1.
Make sure the length or your wood stock does not exceed the capacity of the Wood
Lathe. The maximum length or your wood stock should not exceed 40 inches.
2.
Adjust the Hand wheel (43) so that the threads of the Screw Axis (41) are halfway on
each side of the Tailstock (39). This will allow the most fore and aft adjustment in
the following steps.
3.
Adjust the position of the Tailstock to fit the length of your wood stock. Use the
supplied Tool Handle (22) to loosen the Nut (54) underneath the Tailstock.
4.
Move the Tailstock to the appropriate location. Tighten the Nut (54).
5.
Place your wood stock between the Tip (37) and the Lathe Tip (28). Make sure the
Lathe Tip is placed in the center point of your wood stock that was marked earlier.
6.
Turn the Hand wheel (43) clockwise until the Tip (37) touches the end of your
wood stock. Adjust the wood stock so the Tip is touching the center point of your
wood stock marked earlier.
7.
Continue to turn the Hand wheel to mount your wood stock. Stop tightening the
Hand wheel when the Lathe Tip prongs dig into the wood stock fully.
8.
Grip the wood stock and try to move it. The wood stock should be mounted firmly
and not move at all.
Positioning the Tool Rest
1.
Use the Tool Handle (22) to loosen the Nut (61) located underneath the Tool Carriage
(35).
2.
Move the Tool Carriage to the appropriate position. If you are beginning a new piece
of wood stock, choose an end to start and adjust the Tool Carriage to that location
and tighten the Nut (61) again.
4.
Loosen the Knob (59) for the Tool Carriage. This will allow you to adjust the Tool
Carriage height and degree of rotation. To begin, set the Tool Carriage even with the
centerline of the wood stock and parallel to the wood stock centerline.
5.
Tighten the Knob.
