The "Güde" wood lathe is very simple, but okay for learning how to turn wood.
=== 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"''), <strike>four-jaw chuck, faceplate</strike> (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 [https://github.com/comakingspace/do-something/issues/7 issue #7]) :
* [[Johannes]] and [[Lukas]] [[weld]]ed 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 [https://github.com/comakingspace/do-something/issues/119 working on a lathe-mounted disc sander]
In addition, these accessories might be interesting in the future:
* buy (or turn on the [[Metal Lathe|metal lathe]]) an [https://drechslershop.de/drechselfutter-mitnehmer-planscheiben/adapter/adapter-m-33-din-800m-18-x-25.html 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|disc sander]] (just much smaller)

SAFETY NOTE: Make sure you lock the box with the on/off switch in place before use! DO NOT start the lathe when it can swivel, you may not be able to safely turn it off then and the belt/pulleys are exposed!

* max. workpiece diameter: 254 mm
* max. workpiece length: 450 mm
* spindle speeds: 650-3800 rpm (variable)
* motor: 370 W
* spindle thread: M33
* workholding options:
** headstock: [[Four-Jaw Chucks|four-jaw chuck]]
** tailstock: morse taper - accessories: rotating center, drill chuck
=== Speed Selection ===
The D 460F has an electronic speed selection which is regulated by a potentiometer (without scale!) above the on/off switch.
=== Upgrades/Improvements ===
Ideas:
* it would be nice to fix the control box more properly - this should be coordinated with Micha Ba. who is the machine's owner!
* get/make a faceplate and a drive center for more workholding flexibility
