The "Güde" wood lathe is very simple, but was okay for our first attempts at woodturning. It was replaced by the Tyme Avon, which should be much more satisfying, in September 2022.
Its motor will probably become a full-time disc sander in Lukas' basement: Project:Disc Sander.
Caution - Overheats Old Fuses
This lathe may trip an old-fashioned fuse (circuit breaker, Sicherung) when turned off an on repeatedly as every start of the motor draws a lot of power. To prevent this issue, plug the lathe into the "modern" black/white outlet box below the main power Verteiler to the right of the lathe! Please ask a tutor or manager if you're not sure about any of this.
Specs
- max. workpiece diameter: 320 mm
- max. workpiece length: 1000 mm
- spindle speeds: 850 - 1250 - 1750 - 2510 rpm
- motor: 370 W
- spindle thread: M18
- workholding options: drive center (Vielzack-Stirnmitnehmer/"Dornenkrone"),
four-jaw chuck, faceplate(wrong thread)
Speed Selection
The lathe can run at various speeds depending on which pulleys are connected by the belt (picture on the housing). Do not put excessive tension on the belt - you'll be very happy about the belt slipping in case you've made a mistake and the tool digs into the workpiece!
Upgrades/Improvements
We have tweaked this machine to improve usability (also see issue #7) :
- Johannes and Lukas welded two spots onto the tailstock screw so it doesn't turn past its intended blocker anymore (gap was too wide)
- Patrick made the tool rest rock solid by removing the grub screw that pressed against the vertical rod and drilling a threaded hole into the rod instead
- Lukas is working on a lathe-mounted disc sander
In addition, these accessories might be interesting in the future:
- buy (or turn on the metal lathe) an 18 to 33 mm adapter (to match commonly sold accessories like faceplates)
- buy (or make) a faceplate
- can be made like the plate of the disc sander (just much smaller)
- "8 things not to do with faceplates" - sizing, attaching etc
