This is the content required for an introduction to our metal lathe - reading this does NOT replace the mandatory session with a tutor! It will make it a lot quicker though ;-)
Safety
Dangers | Precautions |
---|---|
exposed, rotating chuck - can easily catch loose clothing, jewellery or hair |
|
loose workpieces can be thrown at high speeds |
|
small debris can be thrown towards the user | a face shield in addition to goggles is recommended |
cluster of shavings ('rats nests') can be caught by the chuck => very sharp; quickly rotating object... | regularly remove shavings around the chuck (with the machine turned off) |
autofeed will cause a crash if left unattended! | never leave the machine unattended, especially when working with autofeed |
shavings (especially steel) are very sharp & hot, parts of the machine/workpiece can become hot | Don't try to remove shavings by hand. Stop the machine and use a pair of pliers or brushes. |
no prevention of turning on after loss & restoration of power (keine Anlaufsicherung) | if the power has been lost for whatever reason, always turn the switch "off" before restoring it! |
Demonstration
The tutor will show you these steps in detail:
Function and Maintenance
- compound slides move 0.2mm per 1/10 of a revolution (1 indent)
- radius reduces twice as much
Change Gearing
Change and Secure a Workpiece
Tooling
Turning a Piece with and without Autofeed
- turn a part to size
- outside diameter
- inside diameter
- drill a hole
Waiting List
This introduction takes longer than many others and usually can't be done spontaneously during regular opening times. If you would like to receive it, please add yourself to >> this list << and we will find a good time once a few members are on it!
