If your Record Power Lathe's motor is overheating, it could be due to the motor being overloaded. Try reducing the load on the motor. Alternatively, the motor may not be cooling sufficiently. In this case, clean the motor to increase airflow, or reduce how long you are using the lathe.
What to do if turning tool digs into timber on Record Power Lathe?
If the turning tool digs into the timber or grabs it when using your Record Power Lathe, it could be due to several reasons. The turning tool might be blunt, so try sharpening it. The tool rest could be set too low, so adjust it to the correct height. It's also possible that the tool rest is too far from the timber; move it closer. Finally, ensure you're using the correct turning tool for the job.
Why does the spindle stall on my Record Power Coronet?
If the spindle on your Record Power Lathe stalls or won't turn, it might be due to several reasons. You may be using an excessive depth of cut, so try reducing the cutting depth. Check if the belt is loose or broken; if so, adjust the belt tension or replace it. Worn spindle bearings could also be the cause, requiring replacement. Finally, make sure the indexing lock is disengaged and inspect the spindle pulley for damage, replacing it if needed.
How to fix excessive motor noise in Record Power Coronet?
Excessive noise from your Record Power Lathe's motor could stem from a faulty motor, which would need replacement. Another possibility is a loose pulley blind set screw; try tightening it.
What to do if tailstock moves when applying pressure on Record Power Coronet Lathe?
If the tailstock moves when applying pressure on your Record Power Lathe, it could be because you're applying too much pressure to the workpiece. Use only enough force to hold the timber securely between centers. Another reason could be that the tailstock isn't locked in place, so tighten the locking lever. Also, the lathe bed and tailstock mating surfaces might be dirty; remove and clean them.
What causes tailstock or tool rest holder to not lock on Record Power Coronet Lathe?
If the tailstock or tool rest holder won't lock securely on your Record Power Lathe, the clamp might be set incorrectly. Adjust the clamp.
