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.

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:
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.

Four-Jaw Chucks
Precision Combination Chuck
Spare Parts
Many spare parts can be found via incamachines.com.
The current driving belt is labeled with "190J6 TBA POLY-V 483J6" and "2088".

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!
Specs
- 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 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
