The current Wood Lathe is a Chinese model - the Charnwood 813 is a close match in terms of Specification.

The lathe has a mechanical speed control using a belt with variable diameter pulleys. It has a high maximum speed.

Tips

The speed control must be set to a Low Speed before switch on. Once you've completed turning your part, the speed must be returned to a low speed before switching off.

Make sure that the chuck is tightened with tools before use.

Note: If chuck and work-piece is heavy reduce the speed slowly otherwise there is a danger of the chuck unscrewing itself due to the momentum.

-There is and index lock which prevents the headstock spindle from turning, useful when changing chucks or special cutting - see the manual for details. <i>Make sure that the spindle is free</i> to turn before starting the motor!

-I've noticed a few problems in recent tests: -
-* the spindle pulley is not in the correct position - some of the grub screws were loose (and hanging out) but when fully released the pulley can't be moved back into position
-* the centres were not aligned and the bolt to release the headstock end of the bed tube is not as in the Clarke manual
-* the cup chuck is off whack!
