ing operations.
F. Live Center—Mounts in the tailstock barrel
taper and supports the workpiece from the
opposite side of the spur center by engaging
in the workpiece and spinning freely.
In order for the safety warnings and operation
instructions to be fully understood, please take
time to learn these important lathe terms and
definitions.
G. Tailstock Barrel Lock—Locks the tailstock
barrel in place after being driven into the
workpiece and before starting the lathe.
Spindle Turning—When a workpiece is mount-
ed between both spur (headstock) and live
(tailstock) centers.
H. Tailstock Adjustment Knob—Moves the
tailstock barrel in/out to firmly embed the
live center into the workpiece.
Face Plate Turning—When a workpiece is
mounted to the face plate, which is mounted to
the headstock spindle. The face plate has holes
for attaching the workpiece or a backing block
with screws.
I. Tailstock Lock—Locks the tailstock into
position along the bed.
Backing Block—A waste board that is screwed
or bolted to the face plate, then centered and
glued to the workpiece, so that the workpiece
can be attached to the face plate without drill-
ing or screwing marks.
J. Tool Rest Holder—Mounts the tool rest to
the bed and adjusts perpendicular to the

Additional Safety for Wood Lathes
1. KEEPING GUARDS IN PLACE. Make sure all guards are in place and that the lathe sits on a flat, stable
surface.
2. EYE/FACE PROTECTION. Always wear eye protection or a face shield when operating the lathe.
3. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION. Always wear a respirator when using this machine. Wood dust may
cause allergies or long-term respiratory health problems.
4. MOUNTING WORKPIECE. Before starting, be certain the workpiece has been properly imbedded on
the headstock and tailstock centers and that there is adequate clearance for the full rotation.
5. WORKPIECE CONDITION. Always inspect the condition of your workpiece. DO NOT turn pieces with
knots, splits, and other potentially dangerous conditions. Make sure joints of glued-up pieces have
high quality bonds and won't fly apart during operation.
6. ADJUSTING TOOL REST. Adjust tool rest to provide proper support for the turning tool you will be
using. Test tool rest clearance by rotating workpiece by hand before turning lathe ON.
7. TURNING SPEED. Select the correct turning speed for your work, and allow the lathe to gain full
speed before using.
8. USING SHARP CHISELS. Keep lathe chisels properly sharpened and held firmly in position when turn-
ing.
9. OPERATING DAMAGED LATHE. Never operate the lathe with damaged or worn parts.
10. ADJUSTMENTS/MAINTENANCE. Make sure your wood lathe is turned OFF, disconnected from its
power source, and all moving parts have come to a complete stop before starting any inspection,
adjustment, or maintenance procedure.
11. STOPPING LATHE. DO NOT stop the lathe by using your hand against the workpiece. Allow the lathe
to stop on its own.
12. AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Keep long hair and loose clothing articles such as sleeves, belts, and
jewelry items away from the lathe spindle.
13. FACEPLATE TURNING. When face plate turning, use lathe chisels on the downward spinning side of
the workpiece only.
14. SANDING/POLISHING. Remove the tool rest when performing sanding or polishing operations on the
rotating spindle.
15. MATERIAL REMOVAL RATE. Removing too much material at once may cause workpiece to fly out of
the lathe.
16. REDUCING WORKPIECE VIBRATION. If the workpiece vibrates, immediately turn the lathe OFF.
Check to make sure the workpiece is centered and balanced. Trim excess waste off corners with a
bandsaw or table saw to reduce vibration. Make sure workpiece is securely attached in setup.

When turning the lathe ON, stand to the
side of the spinning direction until the lathe
reaches full speed and you can verify that
the lathe will not throw the workpiece.
•
•
Always start the lathe and perform all rough
cutting with the speed setting at the lowest
point, as shown in Figure 16.
Select the right speed for the size of
workpiece you are turning. Use the slower
range on the speed dial for large workpieces
(4" diameter and over); use the middle
range on the speed dial for medium sized
workpieces (2" to 4" diameter); and use
the faster range on the speed dial for small
sized workpieces (under 2" in diameter).

to the lowest speed.
When turning pieces thicker than 2" x 2", cut
off the corners first (so the workpiece profile
looks similar to the illustrated workpiece in
Figure 15). Figure 17 shows a workpiece
too big for turning with the corners still
on.
•
•
When rough cutting face plate work, use
the live center in the tailstock for support,
as can be seen in the setup in Figure 17.
After the rough cutting is complete, move
the tailstock out of the way.
Figure 17. DO NOT attempt to turn workpieces
thicker than 2" x 2" without first cutting the
corners off!
Learn the correct techniques for each tool
you will use. If you are unsure, read books
or magazines about lathe techniques and
seek training from experienced users.

Selecting Turning
Tools
Lathe tools (Figure 18) come in a variety of
shapes and sizes and usually fall into five major
categories.
•
•
•
Gouges—Mainly used for rough cutting,
detail cutting, and cove profiles. The rough
gouge is a hollow, double-ground tool with
a round nose, and the detail gouge is a
hollow, double-ground tool with either a
round or pointed nose. Figure 19 shows an
example of a gouge.
Figure 18. Basic set of lathe turning tools.
Skew Chisel—A very versatile tool that can
be used for planing, squaring, V-cutting,
beading, and parting off. The skew chisel
is flat, double-ground with one side higher
than the other (usually at an angle of 20-
40˚). Figure 20 shows an example of a skew
chisel.
Figure 19. Gouge.
Scrapers—Mainly used where access for
other tools is limited, such as hollowing
operations. This is a flat, double-ground
tool that comes in a variety of profiles
(Round Nose, Spear Point, Square Nose,
etc.) to match many different contours.
Figure 21 shows an example of a round nose
scraper.
Figure 20. Skew chisel.
•
•
Parting Tools—Used for sizing and cutting
off work. This is a flat tool with a sharp
pointed nose that may be single- or double-
ground. Figure 22 shows an example of a
parting tool.
Specialty Tools—These are the unique, spe-
cial function tools to aid in hollowing, bowl
making, cutting profiles, etc.

Spindle Turning
Spindle turning (Figure 23) is the operation per-
formed when a workpiece is mounted between
the headstock and the tailstock.
To set up a spindle turning operation, do
these steps:
1. Mark both ends of your workpiece by draw-
ing diagonal lines from corner to corner.
The intersection point of these lines will
show you the center of your workpiece. See
Figure 24 for details.
Figure 23. Typical spindle turning operation.
2. Using a wood mallet, tap the point of
the spur center into the center of the
workpiece, so that it leaves a center mark,
then remove the spur center.
3. Using a 1⁄4" drill bit, drill a 1⁄4" deep hole at
the center mark. (Additionally, if the end of
your workpiece is square, cut 1⁄8" deep saw
kerfs across the corners to help embed the
spur center.)
4. Drive the spur center into the center of the
workpiece with the wood mallet to embed
it at least 1⁄4", as shown in Figure 25.
5. With the workpiece still attached, insert
Figure 24. Workpiece marked diagonally from
the spur center into the headstock spindle.
corner to corner to determine the center.
6. With the live center installed in the tailstock,
slide the tailstock toward the workpiece
until the live center touches the workpiece,
then lock the tailstock in this position.
7. Use the tailstock adjustment knob to push
the live center into the workpiece at least a
1
⁄
4".

Face Plate Turning
Face Plate turning (Figure 26) is when a
workpiece is mounted to the face plate, which
is mounted to the headstock spindle.
To mount your workpiece to the face plate, do
these steps:
1. Find the center of your workpiece by draw-
ing diagonal lines from corner to corner
on the side of the workpiece that will be
mounted to the face plate. The intersection
point of these lines will show you the center
of your workpiece.
Figure 26. Typical face plate turning operation.
2. Cut off the corners of the workpiece if it is
thicker than 2" x 2".
3. Center the face plate on the workpiece and
attach it through the face plate holes with
wood screws, as shown in Figure 27.
NOTICE: Only use tap screws or wood
screws with non-tapered heads (Figure 27)
to attach the face plate to the workpiece.
Do NOT use drywall screws or screws with
tapered heads because these can split the
face plate, or the screws may snap off
during operation.
>FF;ꢀ
98;
4. Thread the face plate onto the headstock
spindle and tighten securely.
Note: If screws cannot be placed in the
workpiece, then a backing block can be
glued to the workpiece then attached to
the face plate with screws.
To mount your workpiece to a backing block,
do these steps:
Figure 27. Mounting face plate to a backing
block, which is glued to the workpiece.
1. Make the backing block from a piece of
scrap wood that is flat on both sides.
2. Locate and mark the center of both the workpiece and the backing block.
3. Drill a 1⁄4" hole in the center of the backing block.
4. Glue the center of the backing block to the center of the workpiece (look through the drilled hole to
line up centers), clamp the backing block to the workpiece, and wait for the glue to cure according
to the manufacturer’s recommendation.

Sanding/Finishing
After turning, the workpiece can be sanded
(see example in Figure 28) and finished before
removing it from the lathe.
Wrapping the sandpaper
completely around the
workpiece, will pull your
hands into the moving
workpiece and may cause
injury. Never wrap sand-
paper completely around
the workpiece!
Figure 28. Typical spindle sanding operation.
Whenever sanding or finishing on the Model
W1704, remove the tool rest holder to increase
personal safety and gain adequate working
room.
To remove the tool rest holder, do these
steps:
1. UNPLUG THE LATHE!
2. Remove the tool rest from the holder, as
shown in Figure 29.
Figure 29. Removing tool rest.
3. Using a 12mm socket or wrench, remove the
lock nut (Figure 30) that is located under
the tool rest holder on the bottom side of
the bed.
4. Pull the tool rest holder off the bed and
replace the lock nut on the threads, so that
it does not get lost.

MAINTENANCE
Make sure that your
machine is unplugged
during any maintenance
procedures
except
where instructed oth-
erwise! If this warning
is ignored, serious per-
sonal injury may occur.
General
To ensure optimum performance from your
lathe, make a habit of inspecting it before each
use. Check for the following conditions and
repair or replace when necessary:
Figure 31. Cleaning/lubricating unpainted part
of the bed.
•
•
•
•
Loose mounting bolts.
Worn switch.
Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
Lubrication
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.
Figure 32. Cleaning spindle tapers.
Lubricate the unpainted parts of the bed regu-
larly (Figure 31) to prevent rust and ensure a
smooth sliding action from the tool post holder
and the tailstock. Your goal is to achieve ade-
quate lubrication. However, too much lubrica-
tion will attract dirt and sawdust, which may
cause these components to lose their freedom
of movement.
In addition, clean the headstock and tailstock
barrel tapers (Figure 32) on a regular basis.
