About our machine

VVV___REQUIRED SAFETY VIDEOS___VVV:

Members must watch these videos before using the lathe.

Important Safety Rules:

Remove any jewelry, roll up sleeves, and otherwise secure anything that could get wrapped up in the machine.
Position the tool rest as close as possible to the material without colliding.
After adjusting the tool rest, BEFORE TURNING IT ON spin the workpiece by hand to make sure it will not collide.
Safety eye wear required. Faceshields are highly recommended. Safety glasses are okay, but less effective.
Always use sharp tools! Dull tools cause chip-out, but more importantly can get caught on your material.
Avoid using materials that may break apart. Split wood, laminated materials, rotted pieces, etc.
