Optional flute cutting attachment.
Cutting parallel flutes
Remove the relevant set of blanking
screws from the saddle and store in a
safe place. When you remove the
bracket, replace the blanking screws;
they will keep the tapped holes clean.
Attach the drill / router support bracket
to the saddle. Several hole sets can be
selected depending on the diameter of
the job and the amount of extension that
your drill or router has. Attach the drill
or router [not provided] and set to the
height required for your job. To set the
cutter on the center height of the lathe,
fit the rotating center into the tailstock
and use the point as a reference.
You can get different effects on the job
by setting the cutter above or below the
center height of the lathe.
Note. Remove the drive belt from the
motor while fluting. If you switch on the
motor while the spindle is locked it will
stall and it could cause damage.
If you are using the spiral indexing
system and the motor is switched on it
could cause damage to your lathe.
You can use the lathe indexing system
described earlier in the manual or the
spiral indexing system for indexing
the spindle when parallel fluting but
you can not use the lathe indexing
system when spiral fluting.
Use the saddle depth control knob to
adjust the depth of the cutter.
Use the bed stops to control the length of
the flute.
