Assembly
This lathe is mostly assembled in the factory. When all items are ready for the final assembly, lift the lathe
from the pallet. A few more items are to be set up before the machine is ready for a test run.
It takes approximately 45 minutes to clean and set up the lathe.
Unloading the Lathe
1. This lathe weighs 415 lbs. and requires
several people and proper gear to set up.
2. The lathe can be lifted with a crane and
lifting straps. To make the lathe less top-
heavy and easier to lift, remove the tailstock
and banjo, then install the extension bed
(see page 23 for details).
3. Wrap the lifting straps under the main lathe
bed and the extension bed, and slowly lift
the lathe from overhead. The lathe is much
heavier on the headstock side. Adjust the
straps to ensure the lathe is balanced when
lifted.
Note: The auxiliary switch is packed in a box
and is attached to the lathe with a cord.
Secure the box when lifting the lathe.
4. Lower the lathe gently to the floor to
prevent damage.
5. To minimize vibration while turning, ensure
the lathe is evenly supported by all six
leveling feet. Adjust the leveling feet with a
3/4” wrench as necessary.
2019 Lathe has a net weight of 415 lbs.
All lifting devices must be capable of
handling the load, or serious personal
injury and machine damage may
occur.
