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 "Güde" wood lathe is very simple, but okay for learning how to turn wood.
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"),
four-jaw chuck, faceplate(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 issue #7) :
- Johannes and Lukas welded 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 working on a lathe-mounted disc sander
In addition, these accessories might be interesting in the future:
- buy (or turn on the metal lathe) an 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 (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!
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
