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.

=== 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 make) a faceplate

Wood Lathes

Woodturning - notches by skew chisel.gif
Synonyms: woodturning lathes; DE: Drechselbänke,

Material: woodturning blanks
Used with: face shield, woodturning tools
Access Requirements: Woodturning Introduction

Similar (More or Less): metal lathe


We have wood lathes in the wood workshop that can be used as an entry to woodturning - once a community of turning enthusiasts develops and the machines become too weak for more ambitious projects, we can think about replacing them with a professional model.

Tyme Avon ATL301

Status: Working

The Tyme Avon is an old, but solidly built lathe that has replaced our flimsy Güde 1000.

Specs

We seem to have the Model ATL301 with 36" (915 mm) between centers and a bed length of 52" (1320 mm).

  • max. workpiece diameter (above bed): 280 mm (11")
    • max. workpiece diameter (swiveled 90°): 495 mm (19.5")
    • max. workpiece diameter (swiveled 180°): 610 mm (24")
  • max. workpiece length: 900 mm
  • spindle speeds: 470 - 750 - 1150 - 2000 rpm
  • motor: 550 W (3/4 hp)
  • spindle thread: M25 × 2 mm; internal No. 2 morse taper (MK2)
  • workholding options:
    • headstock: drive center, faceplate, four-jaw chuck, ...
    • tailstock: No. 2 morse taper (MK2) - accessories: rotating centers, our "usual" drill chucks also fit

Speed Selection

The lathe can run at various speeds depending on which pulleys are connected by the belt:

spindle speeds resulting from each belt position

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!

New belts are still sold at store.lathes.co.uk


Accessories

  • An alternative tool rest for our Tyme Avon

  • We have two barrels which can be used with the Tyme Avon - we are usually using the right one, since it spins with the workpiece.
