Cleanup Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and can explode or cause fire if used to clean machinery. Avo i d u sing t h e s e p r o d u c t s to c l e a n m a c hin e r y. The unpainted surfaces of your machine are coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage. This rust preventative has been your machine's close ally and guardian since it left the factory.
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 workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the machine.
Mounting Although not required, we recommend that you mount your new machine to the floor. Because this is an optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included. Generally, you can either bolt your machine to the floor or mount it on machine mounts. Both options are described below. Whichever option you choose, it is necessary to level your machine with a precision level.
Assembly 3. Secure the lathe to the legs with the (8) M8-1.25 x 35 cap screws and 8mm lock washers, as shown in Figure 11. To mount the lathe to the stand: 1. Stand the legs up approximately 41" apart, then get them reasonably aligned, as shown in Figure 10. x8 Figure 11. Securing lathe to the stand leg. 4. Install the tool rest lock lever to secure the tool rest, as shown in Figure 12. Figure 10. Stand legs approximately 41" apart to prepare for mounting the lathe. 2.
5. Align the quill keyway with the entry hole of the quill lock lever (see Figure 13), then install the lever into the tailstock so that the end of it mates with the quill keyway. Note: Make sure the dog-point end of the lock lever fits into the quill keyway so that the quill can move in and out of the tailstock without rotating.
5. Listen to and watch for abnormal noises or actions. The lathe should run smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. — Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and corrected before operating the machine further. Always unplug the machine when investigating or correcting any situation with the machine. 6. Turn the lathe OFF, then remove the yellow switch disabling key from the paddle switch, as shown in Figure 15.
SECTION 4: OPERATIONS Adjusting Head Damage to your eyes and lungs could result from using this machine without proper protective gear. Always wear safety glasses and a respirator when operating this machine. The Model G0462 headstock can be positioned anywhere along the bed and pivoted up to 180˚. To position the headstock along the length of the bed: 1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER! 2. Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury.
To pivot the headstock: 1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER! Adjusting Tailstock Position 2. Make sure the head lock lever is tight. 3. Pull the pivot lock pin out (see Figure 18) and pivot the headstock clockwise 90˚ or 180˚, as shown in Figure 19. Pivot Lock Pin Head Lock Lever The tailstock is equipped with a cam-action clamping system to secure it. When the lock lever is tightened, a locking plate lifts up and secures the tool rest to the bed.
Adjusting Tool Rest The tool rest is equipped with a cam-action clamping system to secure it. When the base lock lever is tightened, a clamping plate lifts up and secures the tool rest to the bed. For safe and good turning results, we recommend positioning the tool rest approximately 1⁄4" away from the workpiece, and approximately 1⁄ 8" above the workpiece center line (see Figure 22).
5. Insert the tapered end of the center into the spindle, then push it in with a quick, firm motion (see Figure 23). Spur Center Before beginning any turning operation that uses the live center installed into the tailstock quill, make sure the spur and live centers are properly aligned (refer to Aligning Centers on Page 33 for detailed instructions). Failure to head this warning could result in the workpiece being thrown from the lathe, resulting in death or serious personal injury.
3. Make sure the live center and the inside of the quill are free of debris and oil substances that could interfere with the proper mating of these parts. 4. Insert the tapered end of the live center into the quill with a quick, firm motion. 5. Make sure the center is secure by attempting to pull it out by hand—a properly installed center will not pull out by hand. 6. Rotate the quill handwheel to draw the quill back into the tailstock as far as possible without forcing the center to release.
Selecting Turning Tools • Lathe tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes and usually fall into five major categories. Scrapers—Mainly used where access for other tools is limited, such as hollowing operations. 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 29 shows an example of a round nose scraper. Refer to Accessories on Page 28 for examples of recommended wood chisels from Grizzly.
Spindle Turning Spindle turning, as shown in Figure 31, is the operation performed when a workpiece is mounted between the spindle and quill centers. To set up a spindle turning operation: 1. Mark both ends of your workpiece by drawing diagonal lines from corner to corner. The intersection point of these lines will show you the center of your workpiece. See the illustration in Figure 32 for details. Workpiece Pencil Lines Marked Diagonally Across Corners Workpiece Center Figure 31.
6. Use a wood mallet to embed the spur center at least 1⁄4" into the workpiece end center mark, as illustrated in Figure 33. 11. Position the tool rest approximately 1⁄4" away from the workpiece and approximately 1⁄8" above the center line, as illustrated in Figure 34. 1 ⁄4" Workpiece Distances 1 1/4" ⁄8" Center Line Tool Rest Figure 33. Spur center properly embedded. 7. 8. With the workpiece still attached, insert the spur center into the spindle.
Faceplate Turning Faceplate turning, as shown in Figure 35, is when a workpiece is mounted to the faceplate that is then mounted to the spindle. This type of turning is usually done with open-faced workpieces like bowls or plates. 2. Use the mark made in Step 1 to center the faceplate onto the workpiece back, then attach it with wood screws that do not have tapered heads (see Figure 37 for an example). Figure 37. Attaching the faceplate to a backing block, which is glued to the workpiece. Figure 35.
Outboard Turning Outboard turning is a variation of faceplate turning and is usually done when stock diameter is greater than 12''. For the size of the Model G0462 and its minimum turning speed, we recommend a maximum diameter of 17'' for outboard turning. The lathe setup at 90˚ for outboard turning uses the tool rest with the pivot arm extended, as shown in Figure 38.
