Lukas got a wood lathe and will soon make it public!

Some things to do before we can use it (also organized in issue #7):

  • clean & inspect the machine
  • mount it on a suitable workbench
  • buy a face shield
  • buy (or make) some woodturning tools
  • add a lever to the tool rest's nut

  • max. workpiece diameter: 320 mm
  • max. workpiece length: 1000 mm

Upgrades/Improvements

We should soon tweak this machine to improve usability:

  • buy (or turn on the metal lathe) an 18 to 33 mm adapter (to match common accessories like faceplates)
