Unboxing and Cleaning
The Excelsior Mini Lathe comes assembled, except for the MT2
Live Center; MT2 Spur Center; quill handwheel handle and socket
screw. Also in the box will be a knockout bar and 3mm, 6mm and
8mm hex keys.
Check to make sure that you have all parts and that the product
is not damaged. If you find damage, contact Rockler Technical
Support at 1-800-260-9663 or support@rockler.com. Keep all
packaging in case the product will need to be returned.
The unpainted surfaces of the lathe, such as the bed, have been
coated with grease to prevent corrosion during shipping. Use
a solvent-based cleaner or degreaser to remove this protective
coating, and then apply Boeshield T-9® Rust and Corrosion
Protection to the surface to prevent rust from developing. Always
follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using any cleaning or
lubricating product.
> Do NOT lift more than you are able. If the Excelsior Mini
Lathe feels too heavy for you to lift on you own, obtain
the help of another adult to lift the unit into position.
Use proper lifting techniques
> Make sure that the bench or table holding the lathe is
strong enough to bear the weight and that it is solid and
rigid. The lathe is heavy, and serious injury could result if
the support were to fail.
