Usage
This machine requires induction to use.
To get an induction you must first review these videos. You must do this BEFORE attending the in-person induction (booked via event bright).
Safety: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X1nZwOZH6M
Changing the Chuck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0pwJzHfJ50 Notes:
We have only 3 cam locks on out lathes. Stoning the chuck is not necessary. Keeping the precisions surfaces free of chis is essential. We use plywood instead of a block to protect the ways. Waxing of the chuck is not necessary.
Skills - Blondihacks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6Dnmd3lDzA&list=PLY67-4BrEae9Ad91LPRIhcLJM9fO-HJyN Only the following videos are mandatory:
1: Theory 2: Tool Bits 3: Facing 4: Tail Support 5: Turning
It is recommended to watch the entire series.
To enroll for an induction please go to Eventbrite.
At this in-person induction we will review how our machines work and have you perform a few simple operations on the lathe.
