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 shieldbuy (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")
Belt Tensioning
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 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
