פיגורע 5.2: שפּיץ view of the lathe in operation, showing the workpiece and tool rest.
5.1 Workpiece Preparation:
- Select a suitable piece of wood, free from knots, cracks, or foreign objects.
- Ensure the workpiece dimensions do not exceed the lathe's capacity (max. 60 cm length, 25 cm diameter).
- Mark the center points on both ends of the workpiece for mounting between centers.
5.2 Mounting the Workpiece:
- צווישן צענטערס: Place one end of the workpiece onto the headstock's 4-tooth drive center. Bring the tailstock forward and engage its live center into the marked center of the workpiece. Lock the tailstock firmly on the machine bed and advance the tailstock quill to apply sufficient pressure to hold the workpiece securely.
- On Faceplate: For irregular or short workpieces, attach the workpiece to the 80mm faceplate using screws. Then, screw the faceplate onto the M18 threaded spindle of the headstock.
5.3 Adjusting the Tool Rest:
- Position the tool rest as close as possible to the workpiece without touching it.
- Ensure the top of the tool rest is slightly below the center line of the workpiece.
- Lock the tool rest securely in place.
5.4 Setting Speed and Operation:
- גיכקייט אַדזשאַסטמאַנט: Use the rotary knob on the headstock to set the desired spindle speed. The variable speed ranges from 800 to 3000 rpm. Start with a lower speed for roughing and larger diameters, increasing as the workpiece becomes balanced and smaller.
- מאַכט אויף: Press the green 'I' button to start the lathe.
- ווענדן: With the workpiece rotating, gently bring your turning tool into contact with the workpiece, resting it on the tool rest. Apply steady pressure to remove material.
- מאַכט אַוועק: To stop the lathe, press the red 'O' button.
