What to do if Record Power Lathe tailstock moves when applying pressure?
If the tailstock on your Record Power Lathe moves when you apply pressure, consider these possible solutions. You might be applying excessive pressure to the workpiece, so only use enough force to hold the timber securely between centers. Also, the tailstock might not be secured in place, so tighten the tailstock locking lever. Finally, the lathe bed and tailstock mating surfaces could be dirty, so remove and clean them.
Why is my Record Power Lathe making excessive motor noise?
Excessive motor noise in your Record Power Lathe can be attributed to a couple of reasons. It could be a faulty motor, which would require replacement. Alternatively, the pulley blind set screws might be loose, and you would need to tighten them.
What to do if turning tool digs into timber on Record Power Lathe?
If your turning tool digs into the timber or grabs it when using your Record Power Lathe, there are several potential reasons. The turning tool might be blunt, requiring you to sharpen 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, so move it closer. Finally, ensure you are using the correct turning tool for the job.
Why does my Record Power Lathe motor overheat?
Your Record Power Lathe motor may overheat because it's overloaded, so you should reduce the load on the motor. Another possible cause is insufficient cooling, so you should clean the motor to increase airflow or reduce how long you use it.
What to do if my Record Power Lathe spindle stalls?
If the spindle on your Record Power Lathe stalls or won't turn, the issue could stem from several causes. It might be due to an excessive depth of cut, in which case you should reduce the cutting depth. Alternatively, a loose or broken belt could be the culprit, requiring you to adjust the belt tension or replace the drive belt. Worn spindle bearings can also cause this issue, necessitating bearing replacement. Finally, check if the indexing lock is engaged; if so, disengage it and inspect the spindle pulley for any damage, replacing it if needed.
