SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

110/220V Operation
Your G1495 machine comes pre-wired for 110V
operation. It includes a three-prong plug which
should be plugged into a grounded circuit as
shown in Figure 1. Under normal use, the motor
draws approximately 12 amps @ 110V. We recommend the lathe be plugged into a circuit protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker.
This motor can be operated at 220V, however
there is no power advantage from operating at a
higher voltage. To revise the lathe to operate on
220V it is necessary to do two things:
1. The motor must be rewired according to the
wiring diagram provided at the back of this
manual.
2. The plug at the end of the power cord
needs to be cut off and replaced with a type
similar to those pictured in Figure 2.
Under normal use, the motor draws approximately 6 amps @ 220V. We recommend the lathe be
plugged into a circuit protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker.

Figure 2. Two typical 220V outlet configurations.

Grounding
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor which
must be properly connected to a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with green or green and yellow striped
insulation is the electrical-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal.

This equipment must be grounded. Verify

that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you
intend to plug into is actually grounded. If it is
not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12
A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the outlet
to a known ground. Under no circumstances
should the grounding pin from any threepronged plug be removed. Serious injury may
occur.

Extension Cords

Notes

We do not recommend the use of extension cords

on 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange
the placement of your equipment and the
installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords. If the lathe is being operated at 110V
an extension cord is acceptable, however make
sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S) or
better. Refer to the chart in Section 1: Safety
Instructions to determine the minimum gauge for
the extension cord. The extension cord must also
contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair
or replace extension cords when they become
worn or damaged.

We have covered some basic electrical

requirements for the safe operation of your
Lathe. These requirements are not necessarily comprehensive. You must be sure
that your particular electrical configuration
complies with local and state codes.
Ensure compliance by checking with your
local municipality or a licensed electrician.

The G1495 is a heavy machine (265 lbs.

shipping weight). DO NOT over-exert yourself while unpacking or moving your
machine get assistance. In the event that
your Lathe must be moved up or down a
flight of stairs, be sure that the stairs are
capable of supporting the combined weight
of people and the machine. Serious personal injury may occur.

In the event that any generally used fasteners are

missing, we can replace them, or, for the sake of
expediency, replacements can be obtained at
your local hardware store.

NOTICE
A full parts list and illustrations can be
found at the back of this manual. Use this
information to identify parts or to clarify
assembly steps.

Clean Up
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect it from corrosion during shipment.
Remove this protective coating with a solvent
cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. Avoid chlorine-based solvents as they may damage painted
surfaces should they come in contact. Always follow the usage instructions on the product you
choose for clean up.

Site Considerations
FLOOR LOAD
Your G1495 Wood Lathe represents a fairly large
weight load in a small footprint. Most commercial
or home shop floors should be sufficient to carry
the weight of the machine. If you question the
strength of your flooring, check with a qualified
architect or building engineer to determine if reinforcement is required.

WORKING CLEARANCES
Many of the solvents commonly used to
clean machinery can be highly flammable,
and toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always
work in well-ventilated areas far from potential ignition sources when dealing with solvents. Use care when disposing of waste
rags and towels to be sure they do not create fire or environmental hazards. Keep
children and animals safely away when
cleaning and assembling this machine.

Working clearances can be thought of as the distances between machines and obstacles that
allow safe operation of every machine without
limitation. Consider existing and anticipated
machine needs, size of material to be processed
through each machine, and space for auxiliary
stands and/or work tables. Also consider the relative position of each machine to one another for
efficient material handling. Be sure to allow yourself sufficient room to safely run your machines in
any foreseeable operation.

LIGHTING AND OUTLETS

Do not use gasoline or other petroleumbased solvents to remove this protective

coating. These products generally have low
flash points which makes them extremely
flammable. A risk of explosion and burning
exists if these products are used. Serious
personal injury may occur.

Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate

shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits
should be dedicated or large enough to handle
combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be
located near each machine so power or extension cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas.
Be sure to observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

Make your shop child safe. Ensure that

your workplace is inaccessible to youngsters by closing and locking all entrances
when you are away. Never allow visitors in
your shop when assembling, adjusting or
operating equipment.

SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY
Pre-assembly

Stand

Assembly of the G1495 is straightforward. We

have organized the assembly process into steps.
Please follow them in sequence.

The stand components are most easily assembled on their sides, then stood up and joined
together:

Tools Required: Only a few common tools are

needed to assemble this machine. Specifically,
two 12mm open end wrenches, a 6mm Allen
wrench (supplied), a Phillips screwdriver and a
plumb bob.

1. Attach the two base brackets to the base of

the cabinet using four (4) 516'' - 18 x 34'' bolts
and nuts. Use two (2) washers for each bolt,
one under the head of the bolt, one next to
the nut. These brackets are used when the
lathe is going to be bolted to the floor or
other type of support structure. See Figure
4.

All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge

(called flashing) on them after they are
formed. This is generally removed at the factory. Sometimes a bit of flashing might
escape inspection, and the sharp edge may
cause cuts or lacerations when handled.
Please examine the edges of all die-cut
metal parts and file or sand the edge to
remove the flashing before handling.

Figure 4. Attaching base brackets to stand.

(Stand is lying down on its front)
2. Attach the third base bracket to the right
hand stand using two (2) 516'' - 18 x 34''
bolts, washers and nuts.

3. Lay the right hand stand on its side so the

two shelves can be more easily assembled
to it. See Figure 5. The two shelves differ
by the location of the bolt holes located
along the front and rear flanges. Fasten
with four (4) 516'' - 18 x 34'' bolts, washers
and nuts for each shelf. Do not tighten
securely at this point.

5. With an assistant, set the lathe bed assembly on the stand, with the headstock so it is
on the cabinet stand. Secure the lathe bed
to the stands using six (6) 516'' - 18 x 212''
Allen head bolts, washers and nuts supplied.
6. Remove the head cover from the headstock
by taking out three (3) Phillips head
screws. Turn the variable speed control
lever to the highest speed position, if it is
not already there.
7. Loosen the upper hex nuts on the motor
adjustment bolts to allow the motor to pivot
upward freely. See Figure 7. Place the Vbelt over the lower pulley and lift up on the
motor while slipping the V-belt over the
upper pulley in the headstock.

Figure 5. Attaching shelves to right hand stand.

4. Carefully position the right hand stand and
assembled shelves alongside the cabinet.
See Figure 6. Use four (4) 516'' - 18 x 34''
bolts, washers and nuts to secure the
upper and lower shelves to the stand.

G1495 Heavy-Duty Wood Lathe

8. To align the pulleys, set the speed control

lever mid-way between high and low so the
upper and lower pulleys are spread
approximately the same amount. Ensure
that the lathe is sitting level. Use a plumb
bob to check the side of the pulleys in relation to each other. See Figure 8.
If the pulleys are not in alignment, loosen
the motor mounting bolts and move the
motor on its mounting plate. The lathe
assembly can also be moved slightly to
achieve alignment, by loosening the bolts
installed in Step 5.

Tool Rest
The tool rest is equipped with a cam-action
clamping system to secure it to the lathe bed.
When the lever is thrown, a locking plate lifts up
and secures the tool rest to the bed. See Figure
9. To install the tool rest assembly:
1. Remove the large hex nut and lock plate
from the bottom of the tool rest assembly.
2. Set the tool rest assembly on the lathe bed
with the clamp stud between the bed slot.
3. Set the tool rest lock handle so it is pointing
down. Re-install the lock plate and thread
the hex nut back onto the stud until it bottoms out.
4. Lift the lock handle approximately 90 and
tighten the hex nut 12 to 23 of a turn more.
5. Turn the tool rest lock handle until it locks
the tool rest down onto the bed. You may
need to adjust the Hex Nut in small increments to fine tune how the tool rest assembly locks down onto the bed.

Figure 8. Using plumb bob for pulley alignment.

9. Tighten the motor adjusting nuts so there
is constant pressure on the V-belt from the
lower motor pulley. Ensure that the motor is
level and the pulleys are parallel with each
other. Once the V-belt is in position,
change speeds only with the motor running and the headstock cover in place. If
speed changes are necessary for adjustment or testing, unplug the machine and
rotate the pulleys by hand while moving
the speed lever. Never move the speed
lever without rotating the spindle as the
belt can become jammed or the movable
pulley can be damaged.
10. At this point tighten all the bolts on the
stand. Put the headstock cover plate back
into place and secure.

Guard Assembly

4. Fasten the clear plastic guard to the sliding

bracket using the four (4) Phillips head
screws already attached to the mounting
plate. Make sure the plastic guard is sandwiched between the two metal plates. For
ease of assembly, the locking knobs can be
removed which will allow the mounting
plate to be removed from the assembly.
Reinstall after attaching the clear plastic
panel.
To use, slide the guard assembly over the specific area of the stock you are turning, loosen the
lock knobs and pull the front edge of the guard
down as low as possible while still allowing
access to the workpiece. Tighten the knobs.

The clear plastic guard protects the operator from

flying debris as the lathe is turning. To assemble
the guard to the machine:
1. Mount one end of the sliding bar to the back
of the lathe bed using the spacer tube, the
long bolt and washer provided. See Figure
11. Ensure that the spacer tube bevel is
against the lathe bed, positioned so the bar
will be level and parallel to the bed.
2. Before attaching the other end, slide the
tubular bracket onto the bar so the pivot
hinge faces forward. See Figure 12. Ensure
that the spacer tube bevel is against the
lathe bed, positioned so the bar will be level
and parallel to the bed.

Figure 12. Guard assembly in place.

3. Secure the other end of the bar to the back

of the lathe bed as described in Step 1.

SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES
Introduction
The G1495 Lathe can be used for a wide variety
of woodturning applications. There are a number
of accessories which are used for specific procedures. In this section the installation and basic
operation of these accessory items is described.
In Section 6: Operations you will find more specific information about the actual turning procedures and methods.

4. Now install the other end of the shaft into

the fitting which is just below the outboard
spindle. The table is held in position with the
spring-loaded lever. Pull up on the spring
loaded shank to disengage the lever from
the adjustment screw and rotate the lever
for clearance. When the lever is in the
desired position, allow the spring to pull it
back onto the adjustment screw.
5. Position the sanding table so that the table
is approximately 116 " away from the sanding
disc. See Figure 13. Always use the side of
the sanding disc where the downward rotation will hold the piece down to the table.

Sanding Attachments
The outboard side of the headstock spindle
accommodates a number of accessories. There
are two different sanding attachments: 1) an 8''
sanding disc and table with miter gauge, and 2) a
pneumatic drum and flap sander.
Sanding Disc and Table
1. Mount the sanding disc onto the outboard
spindle by threading it onto the 78'' - 16 left
hand threads. The disc does not need to be
highly torqued to the spindle, the reverse
threading will cause it to self-tighten.

Figure 13. Sanding disc and table.

2. Mount the abrasive disc to the flat surface

of the aluminum disc by peeling the adhesive backing off and carefully centering the
abrasive disc on the wheel.
3. Attach the sanding table in front of the
sanding disc. First install the end of the
shaft with the flat face into the bore underneath the table. Two setscrews tighten
against the flat land on the shaft. Loosely
tighten the setscrews for now.

Pneumatic Drum and Flap Sander

The drum and the flap wheel attachment mount
onto the mandrel provided. See Figure 14 for
proper installation.
1. First slide the flap wheel over the end of the
mandrel and position it against the
machined land.
2. The drum sander screws onto the threaded
end of the mandrel. Remember both the
mandrel and the spindle are left-hand
threads. The drum sander should be inflated to approximately 10 PSI using a bicycle
pump or other low pressure inflation device.
Do not over-inflate.

Spur Center
The G1495 is supplied with a #2 Morse taper four
tine spur center for use when turning. The spur
center is used in conjunction with the tailstock live
center. Install the spur center by inserting into the
hole in the inboard spindle. Figure 15. See
Section 5: Operations, Spindle Turning section for
complete detail on how to properly seat the spur
center.

NOTICE
Do not use a compressor to inflate the
pneumatic sanding drum, it is too easy to
over-inflate. Use a hand-operated pump
only, and check the inflation pressure with a
suitable gauge.
3. These attachments must both be mounted
on the spindle at the same time, regardless
of whether both will be used. The flap
sander attachment helps to provide rigidity
to the mandrel and drum sander when they
are installed together.

Tailstock

Tailstock Live Center

The tailstock is equipped with a cam-action

clamping system to secure it to the lathe bed.
When the lever is thrown, a locking plate lifts up
and secures the tool rest to the bed. To position
the tailstock along the bed:

The tail spindle is a Morse Taper #2, the same as

the headstock. The live center is preinstalled
from the factory. To remove, turn the handwheel
counter-clockwise until the tailstock barrel bottoms out in the tailstock housing. This causes the
center to be forced out of the barrel. Be sure to
catch the center with your other hand as it drops
out to avoid damaging the center. See Figure 18.

1. Loosen the quick release lever and move

the tailstock to the desired position. Figure
17.
2. Re-engage the quick release lever.
3. If the quick release lever will not lock the
tailstock down onto the bed (either too
loose or too tight), loosen or tighten the hex
nut (located on the underside of the tailstock) in small increments as needed to
achieve the proper clamping pressure.

Figure 18. Tailstock spindle taper.

Lever Stop
Figure 17. Tailstock assembly.

Reinstall by turning the handwheel clockwise

until the tailstock barrel sticks out of the tailstock
housing about 12''. Make certain the surface of the
taper and the inside of the tailstock bore are
clean and free of dirt. Insert the live center into
the tailstock barrel with a light amount of force to
seat the taper in the bore. When the workpiece is
secured on the centers, the force will seat the
taper more completely.
When installing the workpiece between the centers, first move the tailstock to get a rough positioning. Lock the tailstock in position with the
quick-release lever. Then using the handwheel,
crank the center firmly into the workpiece until it
is firmly seated. Lock it into position with the locking lever See Figure 19.

A drill chuck (not supplied) can also be installed

in the tailstock arbor as long as it is a Morse
Taper #2 mounting. A chuck is useful if you wish
to do boring where the workpiece is held in the
chuck and a drill bit is placed in the tailstock. In
this application the tailstock handwheel would be
used to advance the piece into the stationary drill
bit.

(1) The tailstock barrel lock handle must

always be locked down while the lathe is in
use. The workpiece can be thrown from the
lathe if this step is not observed. (2) The tailstock barrel should not protrude from the
tailstock housing more than 2''. Serious personal injury may occur.

Face Plate
The G1495 is supplied with a 6'' face plate.The
faceplate is used for bowl and plate turning.
Install the face plate by threading the face plate
onto the inboard spindle. Use the knockout bar to
hold the spindle from rotating while tightening or
removing the face plate. Figure 20. Mount your
workpiece to the face plate using the mounting
holes which are bored through the face plate.

Outboard Tool Rest

Accessory Removal

The outboard side of the headstock can be used

for faceplate turning when the diameter of the
stock exceeds what can be handled on the
inboard side. The range of diameters suitable for
outboard turning is from 14'' to a maximum of
19''. Outboard turning will require an accessory
faceplate which is available from Grizzly.
Outboard turning should always be done with the
tool rest installed:

To remove accessories such as faceplates, sanding discs or the drum/flap sander from the headstock spindle, insert the knockout bar into the
hole in the headstock near the inboard spindle.
Turn the spindle by hand until the bar engages
one of the indexing holes, which will lock the spindle in position. While holding the knockout bar,
rotate the accessory counterclockwise if mounted
inboard, or counterclockwise if mounted on the
outboard side. See Figure 22.

1. Fasten the L-shaped bracket to the cabinet

stand with the two (2) 516'' - 18 x 1'' bolts
provided and tighten with a 12mm wrench.
2. Attach the tool rest support to the bracket
with the 34'' - 10 x 212'' bolt and nut as
shown in Figure 21 This is hand-tightened
only to allow movement.
3. Insert the threaded end of the tool rest post
into the cast boss and secure with the 34''
hex nut. This also is only hand-tightened.
4. The tool rest can now be placed into the
end of the support post and secured with
the setscrew.

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
Introduction

Test Run

This section describes some of the basic information required to use your G1495 Heavy Duty
Wood Lathe. It concentrates on methods of
mounting the workpiece to the machine for the
various operations. We do not go into great detail
about specific turning procedures here because
there are a wide variety of tools and methods to
achieve the needs of a particular project.

Once the assembly is complete and all fasteners

and accessories have been tightened securely,
you are ready to test the machine. Do not attempt
to mount any workpiece on the spindle for this initial test run. Connect the machine to the main
power supply. Press the START button. Make
sure that your finger is poised on the STOP button, just in case theres a problem. The Wood
Lathe should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and corrected before
operating the machine further. Vibrations or rattling noises will most commonly come from a tool
rest or tailstock which has not been locked down
into position.

We recommend you consult one of the many fine

reference books on woodturning and lathe operation for more detail as you build your skills with
the lathe. Many communities also have woodworking associations or adult education programs
which are an excellent way to learn turning techniques firsthand.

Like all power tools, there is danger associated with the Model G1495 Heavy-Duty
Wood Lathe. Accidents are frequently
caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay
attention. Use this tool with respect and
caution to lessen the possibility of operator
injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury
may occur.

-20-

If the lathe runs smoothly, try mounting a piece of

turning stock (See Spindle Turning heading for
instructions on how to mount). If a problem persists, stop the machine and review all the assembly steps and adjustments. Call for assistance, if
needed.

DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust the

machine while it is running. Wait until the
machine is turned off, unplugged and all
working parts have come to a rest before
you do anything! Serious personal injury
may occur.

Turning Tools
Turning chisels are available in a variety of styles
and sizes which are specialized for different turning applications. For general purposes, we will
describe the five basic types of chisels to get you
started. There are a wide variety of other chisel
configurations and tools for specialized applications. We recommend you consult a good text on
lathe turning to learn more.
The five general types of turning chisels are
shown in Figure 23:
A. Gouge Chisel - a gouge can be recognized
primarily by its curved or arced shape. The
size of the arc and the type of grind across
its cutting edge will determine the job it is
best suited for. A roughing gouge is generally ground straight across the end and is
used to get the initial round shape on the
stock. A spindle gouge will be a bit lighter
and will have the end ground semi-circular.
They are used to achieve the convex or
concave surfaces on the turning. They are
available in different sizes measured as the
distance across the blade, and will be noted
as a shallow or deep flute.
B. Parting Tool - has a sharp point with bezels
cut on the narrow edges of the blade. The
cutting edge occurs on the blade portion
where it is the thickest. The parting tool is

used to make a plunge cut by setting it on

the tool rest and pushing it into the stock at
a right angle. It can also be used to make
deep grooves or to cut a finish piece off of
the master blank. The size of a parting tool
is measured as the thickness of the blade
at its thickest point.
C. Spear Point - has a point formed by grinding two bezels ground onto the same surface of the blade at a 110 or less angle. It
can used to form V shapes and for finishing
corners. Available in a number of different
sizes and angles, size is generally called
out in the overall thickness of the blade and
the angle.
D. Skew Chisel - has a point formed by grinding two bezels on each side of the wide
blade, and the cutting edge is angled
across the end of the blade. The skew is
one of the most versatile turning tools, used
for scraping, paring, smoothing and finishing cuts. Skews are measured across the
blade width.
E. Round Nose - has a rounded cutting edge
ground across the end of the blade. This
chisel is used to form concave surfaces,
grooves or cove shapes. Measurement is
across the overall width of the blade, but the
radius of the end is also generally called
out.

Speed Selector

Turning Speeds

The variable speed selector has seven position

settings - 500, 580, 750, 1100, 1550, 2200 and
3070 RPM. The speed selector is linked to the
splined headstock pulley. As the speed selector is
shifted, the headstock pulley expands or contracts, changing the effective diameter of the pulley. Since the motor is also splined and springloaded, it will inversely change diameter due to
the V-belt. As an example, when the lever is shifted to high speed, the upper pulley will spread
apart and decrease diameter. This makes the belt
now move on a smaller headstock pulley, and the
motor pulley will simultaneously contract
(increase in size) due to spring compression.

Selecting the appropriate turning speed depends

upon a number of factors. Most important is the
diameter of the workpiece - the larger the diameter, the slower the speed. The type of wood is also
important, harder woods require slower speeds.
The sharpness of the cutting tool is also important. The sharper the tool, the slower the speed
that can be used. Selecting the proper speed is a
matter of trial and error at first. Start out with a
slow speed at first, and if the cut is not clean and
smooth, try the next highest speed.

To change speeds:
1. Turn the lathe on.
2. Pull the speed selector lever straight back
away from the machine so the detent spring
compresses. Figure 24.
3. Slowly shift the lever to the desired speed.
4. Make sure the lever is set in the detent for
the desired speed, by listening for it to click
into position.

When roughing out stock, always start at the

slowest speed. Once the work is roughed out,
1100 RPM is generally a good speed for turning
spindles with a 2'' or less diameter. Because
peripheral speed increases as diameter increases, we recommend using a lower speed when
turning larger diameter stock. When turning on
the faceplate, a 580 or 750 RPM is recommended. Outboard turning should generally be done at
the slowest speed setting.
Operating at lower speeds is suitable for most
applications. Lower speeds will also prolong chisel sharpness, especially when using a scraping
cut. Under no circumstances should you operate
this lathe at a speed which is too fast for your particular application.

NOTICE
Remember to choose the correct speed for
your particular turning project. As a general rule, the larger the workpiece diameter,
the slower the speed. Always start on slow
speed.

NOTICE
Figure 24. Speed selector in slowest speed

-22-

To change speeds, the lathe must be on.

Attempting to change speeds without the
spindle turning can result in damage to the
belt drive mechanism.

G1495 Heavy-Duty Wood Lathe

Spindle Turning
Spindle turning is the most common type of work
done with a wood lathe. It involves turning a workpiece between two centers and removing stock to
achieve a specific contour. To mount a workpiece
between centers:
1. Locate the center point on both ends of the
workpiece. This can be done by carefully
drawing diagonal lines from corner to corner. The point of intersection is the center of
the work. Or if the workpiece is somewhat
irregular, there are center finding devices
available which will aid in this step.
2. Hold the workpiece vertically and support it
on a solid surface. Line up the spur center
with the center of the workpiece. Drive the
spur center into the stock about 14'' using a
dead blow hammer. See Figure 25. Be
careful not to split the workpiece. Wood with
splits along the grain may fly off the lathe
during operation. For dense wood, drill a
hole for the center and score lines with a
saw blade for the spurs.

3. With the spur center firmly attached to the

workpiece, insert the spur center into the
headstock spindle.
4. While supporting the free end of the workpiece in your hand, loosen the tailstock
locking lever and slide the tailstock assembly close to the end of the workpiece and
lock into place.
5. Line up the point of the live center with the
workpiece center. Turn the hand wheel to
press the center into the workpiece. Do not
press too tightly or the bearings will bind
and may overheat. Too loose, however, and
the workpiece will not be properly seated
and may spin off when the lathe is started.
Lock the spindle nose in place with the
locking lever. Make certain no more than 2''
of the spindle is extended.
6. Adjust the tool rest as close to the workpiece as possible without actually coming in
contact with the workpiece. Test by hand
turning the workpiece before turning lathe
on. Ensure that the lathe chisel is fully supported by the tool rest. Support the lathe
chisel on the tool rest with one hand, while
controlling the chisel with the other hand.
See Figure 26.
7. Cycle the lathe on and off rapidly to ensure
the workpiece is firmly seated.

Figure 25. Seating the spur center.

Make certain the centers at both ends are

firmly seated. Failure to do so can allow the
workpiece to spin off of the lathe. Serious
personal injury may occur.

Faceplate Turning
Faceplate turning is usually done on stock diameters greater than 4'' and less than 8'' in length.
The maximum recommended stock diameter for
inboard turning is 14'' if less than 2'' thick. Reduce
the stock diameter if turning thicker stock.
Outboard turning can be done if the diameter is
greater than 14'', however we recommend a maximum diameter of 19'' and a maximum thickness
of 2'' due to the forces generated and the size of
the motor on the G1495. Outboard turning is
accomplished the same as described below,
except the adjustment of the tool rest is slightly
different.
Remember that centrifugal force increases along
with the diameter and mass of the workpiece. The
greater the centrifugal force, the greater the
potential for the workpiece to become dislodged
from the lathe mounting.
To mount stock for faceplate turning:
1. Remove the spur center using the knockout
bar. See Accessories Section, Spur Center
for more detail.
2. Attach stock to the faceplate. The faceplate
supplied is 6'' in diameter, however the hole
spacing provided will allow mounting of
stock down to 4''. If the stock is greater than
6'' and up to 14'' (for inboard turning), the
stock can still be mounted to this faceplate.
Stock can be attached using wood screws,
or if those will interfere with the finished
project, a backing block can be glued to the
back face of the stock to be used for attachment. Ensure that the two mating surfaces
are flat and centered with each other. For
easy removal later, glue a piece of heavy
paper (e.g. a grocery bag) between the
stock and the backing block. Make sure
there is a strong bond before starting the
turning operation. After the turning is complete, the two pieces can be separated with
a parting tool or a hammer and chisel to
break the glue joint.
-24-

3. Mount the faceplate and the attached workpiece to the headstock spindle. Install the
faceplate by threading it onto the spindle.
4. Move the tailstock to the far end of the bed
to assure it wont interfere with the faceplate turning operations. Remove the live
center from the tailstock to avoid injury.
5. Move the tool rest into position in front of
the mounted workpiece. The position
shown in Figure 27 would be for shaping
the face. The tool rest should be approximately 12'' from the workpiece. When turning the outer edge the tool rest should be
moved so it is in close proximity to the edge
of the piece.
When faceplate turning, always remove material
using the scraping method. When making a
scraping cut the tool is held in a level position with
the tool edge contacting the surface of the work
even with, or slightly above, the horizontal centerline. The tool rest should be slightly below the
centerline.
The gouge chisel should be used on faceplate
turning only when you have achieved a certain
proficiency with turning. Using the gouge can be
troublesome because there is a tendency of the
grain to grab the chisel, resulting in loss of control. When shaping narrow, inside surfaces, care
must be taken so that the chisel does not inadvertently catch on the surface.

Figure 27. Typical faceplate turning setup.

Indexing

Sanding

Indexing can be used for cutting evenly spaced

grooves or flutes along the length of a spindle.
The headstock spindle indexes every 30 by
inserting the knockout bar into the hole in the
headstock. This locks the spindle in that position,
the lathe should not be turned on when the indexing feature is being used.

Turnings can be sanded while they are still in the

lathe, however the tool rest should always be
removed when performing sanding steps. This
will avoid any possibility of your hand getting
caught between the rest and the workpiece.

Once the spindle is locked, the groove can be cut

using several methods. The grooves can be
marked out by using the edge of the tool rest as
a straight edge. Extra length tool rests are available as an optional accessory should the length
of the fluting be longer than the standard tool rest.
The groove can then be cut by hand using a wood
carving chisel. Or a hand plane can be outfitted
with special cutters to achieve reeding or fluting
style cuts.
There are also accessory devices available which
can be used to guide a router along the length of
the spindle.

Never start the lathe with the knockout bar

inserted in the indexing hole. Serious personal injury may occur.

Sanding is useful to remove any surface defects

which may still be present from the turning operations. Quite frequently there are ridges, bumps
or other uneven spots which can effectively be
removed by sanding. Sanding is also necessary
to prepare the project for final finish application.
When sanding it is best to proceed through a progression of abrasive grits (typical grit sizes are
60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 180, 220, 240, 280, 320,
360, 400, 500 and 600). If your turning is fairly
rough start at 60 and work up. If it is smoother,
you may be able to start at the 80-120 range.
Most woodturners discover that as their skill with
the chisels improves, so does the resulting surface finish. Whether you need to go as high as
600 depends upon what type of finish you will be
applying. For a painted surface it is generally
acceptable to stop at 120 or 150. If it is to be
stained and varnished you generally need to go
to at least 280-320. And if it will not get any surface coating at all, you will find the best results
from going to the highest grits.
During the sanding process be sure not to over
sand certain features. Spindles will often have
sharp corners or beading as part of the design. It
is very easy to remove these features in just a few
seconds of sanding. Sandpaper strips are often
very useful in sanding spindles while turning,
these can be worked into the fine details of the
project.
The sanding process can also generate a lot of
heat so be sure to protect your hands, or be less
aggressive in the amount of material you are
removing.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
General

Lubrication

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model

G1495 Wood Lathe will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your lathe
each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary.

Since all bearings are shielded and permanently

lubricated, lubrication is not required for the life of
the bearings.

1. Loose mounting bolts.

2. Worn switch.
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

The threads on the locking handles and levers

may require a small amount of lubrication over
time.
The sliding pulley sheaves on the headstock and
the motor should receive a shot of light oil periodically to assure smooth speed changes.

4. Damaged V-belt.
5. Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.

Lathe Bed

V-Belt
Inspect regularly for tension and wear. Replace
when necessary with a size M-50 belt. Check pulleys to ensure that they are properly aligned. See
stand assembly section for proper tension and
pulley alignment procedures.

The bed, ways and other non-painted surfaces on

the Model G1495 should be protected against
rusting and pitting. Wiping the saw clean after
every use ensures that moisture from wood dust
isnt allowed to trap moisture against bare metal
surfaces.
Some woodworkers recommend using automotive paste wax on exposed steel and cast iron surfaces. The wax provides a layer of protection, as
well as reducing friction. Avoid waxes that contain
silicone or other synthetic ingredients. These
materials can find their way into lumber thats
being worked, and can make staining and finishing difficult. If you use paste wax, make sure that
its 100% Carnauba wax.

-26-

DO NOT attempt to perform any maintenance procedure while the machine is running. Wait until the machine is turned off,
unplugged and all moving parts have come
to a stop before proceeding! Serious personal injury may occur.
