CAUTION:
-Always use SAFETY GLASSES to protect eyes from chips.
-Tighten chucks securely to avoid unscrewing during operation.
-DO
NOT
slow lathe with hand
on
pulley.
-Operate chucks in excess of middle speed with care.
-
DO
NOT
have the belt tight as this causes the spindle to
stop quickly and may cause the chuck to unscrew.
CAUTIONII
Always Wear Approved Safety Glasses
when Operating Lathe. Tighten Chucks
Securelyto Prevent Chuckfrom Unscrewing.
Do Not Slow Lathe
by.
Placing Hand on
Pulley. Do Not Over Tighten Belt. Keep
Hands Away from Cutting Tool When
Making Cuts.
The
Taig Lathe
is
extremely well constructed
and
requires little'
maintenance. However,
the
lathe must
be
kept clean. After working ajob,
thoroughly clean the
lathe
of
all
debris
with
asoft cloth
and
asmall
brush.
Make
sure the spindle threads have
been
thoroughly cleaned
and
oil
the
bed
to prevent corrosion.
If
the
lathe
is
not
to
be
used for extended
periods, remove
the
drive belt
and
cover
the
lathe. Always check lathe
components for ease
of
operation
and
lubricate
as
necessary.
Use
light
oil-10 weight-such
as
automatic transmission fluid or
in
cold weather
WD
40.
Loosen
chucks or faceplate every few days
as
condensation may rust tools
on
spindle, especially near water or
in
high
humidity areas.
Pulley provides six spindle speeds. Approximate spindle speed with
1750
RPM
Motor
is
as follows:
525 Smallest motor pulley
to
largest
lathe
pulley
825
1300
2100
3350
5300 largest motor pulley to smallest lathe pulley
The motor should sit on an angle
with the weight of the motor
on
the
belt. The motor bracket should
be loose on the board to allow
the motor to be raised in order
to change speeds. Make
sure
the
belt contacts properly.

Acutting fluid (coolant) should be used on all materials. This will provide longertool life
and abetter finish. Water based coolants are not recommended unless lathe is cleaned
thoroughly after each use.
Water
based coolants
may
cause severe corrosion on metal
parts
if
machine is not cleaned well
and
re-oiled.
Carbide tipped tool bits may be used at approximately 3times the speed of high speed
tool bits.
In sharpening tool bits white
or
gray wheels are used for high speed tools.
Carbide tools require the use of adiamond wheel or agreen (silicon carbide) wheel. Do
Not cool tools by immersing in water. This may cause cracks on the carbide surface.
High speed tool bits should not change color (over heat) while sharpening. This will
anneal cutting edge and shorten useful tool life.
Setting tool bits in tool post may require shimming so that cutting edge will
be
exactly on
center. This is Very Important. One method to determine cutting edge is to machine
across the face of awork piece and notice if the tool bit cutting edge is traversing across
the center of the
work
piece. Tool bit cutting edge may be compared to the point on the
tailstock.
When using steady rest slide steady rest next to the chuck and adjust the brass jaws to
the work piece,
then
slide steady rest to the working position. This procedure allows the
steady rest center
to
match centerline of the lathe spindle.
