5.3 Locating your machine

Before you remove your machine from the 

packaging, select the area where you will use 

your machine. There are no hard and fast rules 

for its location, but below are a few guidelines:

1. There should be sufficient area at the front of 

the machine to allow you to work on it

comfortably.

2. There should be sufficient area at the back of 

the machine to allow access for adjustments

and maintenance to be conducted.

3. Adequate lighting. The better the lighting the 

more accurately and safely you will be able to

work.

4. Solid floor. You should select a solid flat floor, 

preferably one made of concrete or

something similar.

5. Locate it close to a power source and dust 

collection.

6. Allow an area for the storage of blanks, 

finished products and tools.

6. Assembly and setup

The machine comes mostly assembled. You will 

have to assemble the legs, headstock,

tail stock, tool storage and the tool rest to the 

bed of the machine.

Note. It is recommended that the head stock, 

tool rest and tail stock be removed from the bed

of the lathe to ease assembly

6.1 Assembling legs to the bed of the lathe

There is a stop at both ends of the bed. The 

stop is a safety feature that makes it impossible 

for the headstock or tail stock to slide off the 

end of the bed. Remove the stops and loosen 

the clamps on both the head stock, tool rest 

and tail stock. Slide them off the bed. This will 

greatly reduce the weight of the bed and allow 

easier assembly. 

Note

: The headstock and tail 

stock are very heavy and extreme caution must 

be exercised when removing them from the bed 

of the lathe. Take care not to cause damage 

during removal.

Lay the bed on timbers in the upside down 

position. Lift the legs to the vertical position and 

lower them onto the bed. Secure with the fixing 

screws provided.

Note: 

At least two people will be needed to 

perform the assembly, one to hold the leg in 

position and one to fit the fixing screws.

Note:
