11. Tool Rest Lock Handle: (N, Figure 9) Locks the tool rest in position. Unlock the handle to position tool rest at a specific angle, or height. Tighten handle when properly positioned. 12. Tailstock Lock Handle: (O, Figure 10) Locks the tailstock in position. Unlock handle to position the tool rest in any location along lathe bed. Tighten handle when properly positioned. 13. Tailstock Quill Lock Handle: (P, Figure 10) Locks the tailstock quill in position. Unlock handle to position the quill. Tighten handle when properly positioned. 14. Tailstock Quill Handwheel: (Q, Figure 10) Turn the handwheel to position the quill. The tailstock quill lock handle must be loose to position quill. 15. Tailstock Live Center: (R, Figure 10) Used for turning between centers. Quill taper is MT2. Remove live center by retracting the quill until live center loosens. Remove, or add different tips to the live center by inserting the provided rod through the holes in the center's shaft. Unscrew the tip and change as needed. Figure 10 9.0 Operation 1. Disconnect the machine from the power source! 2. Loosen the locking handle (A, Figure 11). 3. Lift up on the tensioning handle (B, Figure 11) to remove tension from the poly v-belt. You can now position the belt in the desired speed range. It is pictured in the low speed pulley range. Note: The "High" speed range (1203200) provides maximum speed, where as the "Low" speed range (50-1200) will provide maximum torque. 4. Lower the tensioning handle so that the weight of the motor provides the needed tension and tighten the locking handle. AC Inverter does not require any programming. It is pre-programmed from the factory. The buttons and knob on the face of inverter should not be changed. Use only controls on the front of headstock. Refer to Inverter manual. Figure 11 9.1 Lathe Tools Refer to Figure 12. If possible, select only high quality, high-speed steel turning tools with long handles. As one becomes proficient in turning, a variety of specialty tools for specific applications can be acquired. The following tools provide the basics for most woodturning projects. See your JET distributor for a wide variety of JET woodturning tools. Roughing Gouge - used for rapidly cutting raw wood into round stock. Deep Fluted Bowl Gouge - used for turning bowls and plates. Spindle Gouge - used for turning beads, coves and other details. Spear - fine scraping and delicate operations, such as the forming of beads, parallel grooves and shallow vees, etc Skew - used to make vees, beads, etc. Square Scraper - used for diameter scraping and featureless scraping, etc. Large Domed Scraper - used to reduce ridges on the interior of bowls, round edges of bowls, etc. Parting Tool - used to cut directly into the material, or to make a cut off. Also used for scraping and to set diameters. For safety and best performance, keep tools sharp. If a tool stops cutting, or requires excessive pressure to make a cut, it needs to be sharpened. A number of brand name sharpening jigs and fixtures are available, however, a woodturner should learn to sharpen tools freehand. 12
