The primary purpose of the metal lathe is to

make concentric cuts in metal stock. With the

lathe, round stock can be made perfectly con-

centric, threaded, drilled, knurled, bored, tapered,

etc. Square stock can be made into precision

round shafts used for axles, spindles, leadscrews,

punches, etc.

The maximum size of workpiece a lathe can cut

is determined by the swing, which is the distance

from the centerline of the spindle to the bed,

and the throw, which is the maximum distance

between the tailstock and the spindle. However,

some lathes feature open spindles that allow lon-

ger workpieces to extend through the headstock.

During typical operations, the lathe cuts with a

fixed cutting tool that is positioned against a rotat-

ing workpiece. To rotate a workpiece, the operator

centers it on a clamping device called a chuck or

faceplate, then securely clamps it to the spindle

so it will not fly loose during operation.

The spindle connects to the motor through a

series of gears and pulleys that control the allow-

able speed the spindle can rotate, which allows

the operator different options for cutting based on

the type of metal and size of workpiece.

The cutting tool is mounted on a tool post, which

is positioned by three different bases that move

lenearly in their own designated direction. The

bottom base is the carriage, which moves left and

right, and is equipped with a power feed system

for automated cutting and threading operations.

The middle base is the cross slide, which moves

in and out. The top base is the compound slide,

which moves diagonally.

The lathe is also outfitted with a support device

called a tailstock. The tailstock is mounted on the

lathe bed opposite of the spindle, and it moves

toward or away from the spindle and can be

locked against the bed to firmly support the end

of a workpiece that is not attached to the spindle.

protect you from accidental contact with mov-

ing parts or flying debris. Make sure they are

properly installed, undamaged, and working

correctly before using machine.

REMOVING TOOLS. Never leave adjustment

tools, chuck keys, wrenches, etc. in or on

machine—especially near moving parts. Verify

removal before starting!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper foot-

ing and balance at all times when operating

machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward

hand positions that make workpiece control dif-

ficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use

machinery in wet locations, cluttered areas,

around flammables, or in poorly-lit areas. Keep

work area clean, dry, and well lighted to mini-

mize risk of injury.

Safety Instructions for Machinery

APPROVED OPERATION. Untrained operators

can be seriously hurt by machinery. Only allow

trained or properly supervised people to use

machine. When machine is not being used, dis-

connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out

machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially

around children. Make workshop kid proof!

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children

and bystanders a safe distance away from work

area. Stop using machine if children or bystand-

ers become a distraction.

FEED DIRECTION. Unless otherwise noted, feed

work against the rotation of blades or cutters.

Feeding in the same direction of rotation may pull

your hand into the cut.

SECURING WORKPIECE. When required, use

clamps or vises to secure workpiece. A secured

workpiece protects hands and frees both of them

to operate the machine.

Additional Safety for Metal Lathes

1. CLEARING CHIPS. Metal chips can easily

cut bare skin—even through a piece of cloth.

Avoid clearing chips by hand or with a rag.

Use a brush or vacuum to clear metal chips.

2. CHUCK KEY SAFETY. A chuck key left in

the chuck can become a dangerous pro-

jectile when the spindle is started. Always

remove chuck key after using it. Develop a

habit of not taking your hand off of a chuck

key unless it is away from the machine.

3. TOOL SELECTION. Cutting with an incorrect

or dull tool increases the risk of accidental

injury because extra force is required, which

increases risk of breaking or dislodging com-

ponents. Always select the right cutter for

the job, and make sure it is sharp. A correct,

sharp tool decreases strain and provides a

better finish.

4. SECURING THE WORKPIECE. Make sure

workpiece is properly secured in the chuck or

faceplate before starting the lathe. A thrown

workpiece may cause severe injury or even

death.

5. LARGE CHUCKS. Large chucks are very

heavy and difficult to grasp, which can lead

to crushed fingers or hands if mishandled.

Get assistance when installing or remov-

ing large chucks to reduce this risk. Protect

your hands and the precision ground ways

by using a chuck cradle or piece of plywood

over the ways of the lathe when servicing

chucks.

6. SAFE CLEARANCES. Workpieces that

crash into other components on the lathe

may throw dangerous projectiles in all direc-

tions. Before starting the spindle, make sure

workpiece has adequate clearance by rotat-

ing it through its entire range of motion. Also,

check tool and tool post clearance, chuck

clearance, and saddle clearance.

7. SPEED RATES. Operating the lathe at the

wrong speed can cause nearby parts to

break or the workpiece to come loose, which

could result in them becoming dangerous

projectiles. Large workpieces must be turned

at slow speedsAlways use the appropriate

feed and speed rates.

8. STOPPING LATHE BY HAND. Stopping

the spindle by putting your hand on the

workpiece or chuck creates an extreme risk

of entanglement, impact, crushing, friction,

or cutting hazards. Never attempt to slow

or stop the lathe chuck by using your hand.

Allow the spindle to come to a stop on its

own or use the brake (if equipped).

9. CRASHES. Driving the cutting tool or other

lathe component into the chuck may cause

an explosion of metal fragments, which can

result in severe impact injuries and major

damage to the lathe. Reduce this risk by

releasing automatic feeds after use, not leav-

ing lathe unattended, and checking clear-

ances before starting the lathe. Make sure no

part of the tool, tool holder, compound slide,

cross slide, or carriage will contact the chuck

during operation.

10. LONG STOCK SAFETY. Long stock can

whip violently if not properly supported, caus-

ing serious impact injury and damage to the

lathe. Reduce this risk by supporting any

stock that extends from the chuck/headstock

more than three times its own diameter.

Always turn long stock at slow speeds.

11. COOLANT SAFETY. Contaminated coolant

is a very poisonous biohazard that can cause

personal injury from skin contact alone.

Incorrectly positioned coolant nozzles can

splash on the operator or the floor, result-

ing in an exposure or slipping hazard. To

decrease your risk, change coolant regularly

and position the coolant nozzle where it will

not splash or end up on the floor.

Weight Load

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight

of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon

which the machine is placed will bear the weight

of the machine, additional equipment that may be

installed on the machine, and the heaviest work-

piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the

weight of the operator and any dynamic loading

that may occur when operating the machine.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will

be processed through this machine and provide

enough space around the machine for adequate

operator material handling or the installation of

auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,

leave enough space around the machine to open

or remove doors/covers as required by the main-

tenance and service described in this manual.

See below for required space allocation.

Physical Environment

The physical environment where the machine is

operated is important for safe operation and lon-

gevity of machine components. For best results,

operate this machine in a dry environment that is

free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi-

cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.

Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are

generally those where the ambient temperature

range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity

range exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the

environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or

bumps.

Electrical Installation

Place this machine near an existing power source.

Make sure all power cords are protected from

traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals,

or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to

a means of disconnecting the power source or

engaging a lockout/tagout device, if required.

Lighting

Lighting around the machine must be adequate

enough that operations can be performed safely.

Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract

or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Cleanup

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are

coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that

prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.

This rust preventative works extremely well, but it

will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your

machine. The time you spend doing this now will

give you a better appreciation for the proper care

of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven

tative, but the following steps work well in a wide

variety of situations. Always follow the manufac

turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you

use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated

area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

•

Disposable Rags

•

Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

•

Safety glasses & disposable gloves

•

Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

Put on safety glasses.

Coat the rust preventative with a liberal

amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak

for 5–10 minutes.

Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-

er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe

off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper,

scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe

off the rest with the rag.

Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,

then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality

metal protectant to prevent rust.

Gasoline or products

with low flash points can

explode or cause fire if

used to clean machin-

ery. Avoid cleaning with

these products.

Many cleaning solvents

are toxic if concentrat-

ed amounts are inhaled.

Only work in a well-venti-

lated area.

NOTICE

Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as

acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may

damage painted surfaces. Test all cleaners

in an inconspicuous area before using to

make sure they will not damage paint.

H9692—Orange Power Cleaner & Degreaser

One of the best cleaners we've found for quickly

and easily removing rust preventative.

Lifting & Moving

You will need power lifting equipment and

assistance to lift this machine and position

it. Inspect all lifting equipment to make sure

it is in perfect working order and is rated

for the load before attempting to lift and

move this lathe. Ignoring this warning may

lead to serious personal injury or death.

This lathe has lifting holes built into the stand

(Figure 8). These lifting holes are designed to

allow a piece of sturdy round stock to be slid

through each of them, so that a forklift can lift the

lathe from the pieces of round stock.

Figure 8. Lifting holes.

Lifting Holes

Additional Cleaning Tips

• For thorough cleaning, remove the steady

rest, tool post, compound slide, and change-

gears.

• Use a stiff brush when cleaning the threads

on the leadscrew.

• Move the slides and tailstock back and

forth to thoroughly clean/lubricate underneath

them.

• After cleaning, wipe down the ways with a

high quality way oil, such as shown below.

H8257—Primrose Armor Plate with Moly-D

Machine and Way Oil 1 Quart

This superior machine and way lubricant prevents

stick slip and chatter due to anti-friction capa-

bilities resulting in greater precision machining

capabilities. Provides the thinnest oil film pos-

sible while effectively providing needed lubrication

and rust/corrosion protection. Adhesive/cohesive

components are added for vertical surfaces.

Resists squeeze out, running, dripping and non-

gumming.

Mounting Lathe

In order to produce accurate work, the lathe must

sit level on the floor. Below are the most common

methods for mounting the lathe.

Machine Mounts

The lathe can be mounted on machine mounts,

which can be easily leveled by turning fine thread

hex nuts. Additionally, the large rubber foot pads

on the machine mounts reduce vibration.

Figure 10. Typical lag shield anchor and lag bolt.

Figure 11. Typical anchor stud.

Figure 9. G7160 Machine Mount.

Concrete Floor Mounting Options

If you fasten the lathe to a concrete floor, you must

shim it level before tightening the fasteners, or the

beds may twist out of alignment.

Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 10) and

anchor studs (Figure 11) are two popular meth-

ods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor.

Check Gearbox Oil

It is critical that you make sure there is oil in the

headstock and apron gearboxes before proceed-

ing with the test run. Refer to the Lubrication

instructions on Page 45 for more details on which

type of oil to use, how much to use, and where to

put it.

GEARBOXES MUST

BE FILLED WITH OIL!

NO OIL SHIPPED WITH

MACHINE!

Refer to the Lubrication

Section in this Manual

for Recommended

Oil Type.

Test Run

Once the assembly is complete, test run your

machine to make sure it runs properly and is

ready for regular operation. The test run consists

of verifying the following: 1) The motor powers up

and runs correctly and 2) the stop button safety

feature works correctly.

If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate

the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop

using the machine immediately, then review
