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.

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.

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!

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
