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

Specs

• max. workpiece diameter: 320 mm
• max. workpiece length: 1000 mm
• spindle speeds: 850 - 1250 - 1750 - 2510 rpm
• motor: 370 W
• spindle thread: M18
• accessories included: drive center (Vielzack-Stirnmitnehmer/"Dornenkrone")

Upgrades/Improvements

We should soon tweak this machine to improve usability:

• replace pulley adjustment and casing screws by thumbwheels or so
• buy (or turn on the metal lathe) an 18 to 33 mm adapter (to match common accessories like faceplates)
• buy (or make) a faceplate
