If your Central Machinery Lathe won't turn on, ensure the speed control lever is at its lowest setting. Check that the lathe is plugged into a working, 120-volt, grounded outlet. Also, inspect and replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker if necessary.
How to improve the cut quality of my Central Machinery 65345 Lathe?
If the quality of cut is poor when using your Central Machinery Lathe, there are several potential causes. First, the cutting tool may be above the workpiece center line, so lower it. Second, the lathe speed may be too slow, so increase it. Third, the cutting tool might be dull, so sharpen or replace it. Finally, you might be cutting too aggressively, so use a lighter touch.
What to do if my Central Machinery 65345 will not turn off?
If your Central Machinery Lathe will not turn off, unplug it immediately from the electrical outlet. Do not operate the lathe until a qualified service technician repairs it, as this could be due to a damaged or faulty power switch or internal wiring.
Why is my Central Machinery Lathe vibrating excessively when turning thin workpieces?
Excessive vibration when turning thin workpieces on your Central Machinery Lathe can occur if the cutting tool is positioned below the workpiece center line; raise the cutting tool to the center line. It can also happen if you are cutting too aggressively; use a lighter touch.
Why is my Central Machinery Lathe vibrating excessively when turning larger workpieces or bowls?
Excessive vibration when turning larger workpieces or bowls on your Central Machinery Lathe might be due to improperly located headstock and/or tailstock at the ends of the workpiece. Check for proper workpiece centers. Also, the workpiece may be unbalanced; cut off stock until the workpiece is balanced.
