site before unpacking it. If the packaging shows signs of possible transport damage, take
the necessary precautions not to damage the machine when unpacking. If any damage
is discovered, the carrier and/or shipper must be notified of this fact immediately to
establish any claim which might arise.
3.1 Needed for Setup
This machine is heavy. DO NOT over-exert yourself while unpacking or moving
machine—get assistance!!
3.2 Unpacking the machine
Inspect the machine completely and carefully, making sure that all materials, such as shipping
documents, instructions and accessories supplied with the machine have been received.
The following is a list of items shipped with your machine. Before beginning setup, lay these items out
and inventory them.

C. Hex Wrenches 3, 4, 5mm.......................1
D. Live Center MT#2...................................1
E. Spur Center MT#2..................................1
F. Power Cord.............................................1
G. Rubber Feet M8-1.25 x 15.................... 4
If you cannot find an item on this list, carefully check around/inside the machine
and packaging materials. Often, these items get lost in packaging materials while
unpacking or they are pre-installed at the factory.
3.3 Cleanup
The unpainted surfaces of the machine are coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents
corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it will take a little time to clean.
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your machine. The time you spend doing this now will
7
Page 11
give you a better appreciation for the proper care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
1. Put on safety glasses.
2. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak for 5–10
minutes.
3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser is effective, the rust preventative will wipe off
easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper, scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe off the rest
with the rag.
4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean, then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality metal
protectant to prevent rust.
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may
damage painted surfaces.
3.4 Placement location
Workbench Load
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight and footprint specifications of your machine.
Some workbenches may require additional reinforcement to support the weight of the machine and
workpiece materials.
3.5 Assembly
The machine must be fully assembled before it can be operated. Before beginning the assembly
process, refer to Needed for Setup and gather all listed items. To ensure the assembly process goes

body is properly positioned.
NOTE: There is a nut on the underside of tool rest body that needs to be tightened periodically
to enable the tool rest body locking lever to tighten properly.
2. The small tool rest locking handle locks the tool rest in place. Loosen the handle to position the tool
rest at the specific angle or height. Tighten the handle firmly when the tool rest is properly positioned.
3.7.2 Setting up the face plate
NOTE: When installing the face plate for turning bowls and plates, mount the workpiece onto the face
plate prior to installing the face plate on the headstock.
To install the face plate:
1. Thread the face plate onto the headstock spindle by turning it clockwise as far as it will go, and
then tighten the two set screws with a hex wrench.
2. Lock the spindle lock by engaging the knob in the deep
groove. Insert the knockout rod into a hole on the side of
the face plate and use the wrench to fully tighten the face
plate.
To remove the face plate:
1. Loosen the two face plate set screws.
2. Lock the spindle lock and use the two wrenches to
unscrew the face plate by turning it towards the operator.
3.7.3 Setting up the headstock spur center

Loosen the quill locking handle just enough to unlock the
tailstock quill. Turn the handwheel clockwise to advance the
quill and counterclockwise to retract the quill. Retighten the
quill locking handle.
3.7.5 Setting up the tailstock live center
To install the live center:
1. Rotate the tailstock handwheel clockwise a few times to
advance the quill forward.
2. Make sure the mating surfaces are clean. Push the live
center into the quill.
NOTE: If the tailstock quill gets fully retracted
when the live center is mounted, it will dismount
the live center. This is normal. Remount the live
center by extending the tailstock quill approximately 0.5 inch
and pushing the live center in place.
To remove the live center:
1. Hold the live center to prevent it from falling. Use a rag to protect your hand from the sharp
edges.
2. Rotate the handwheel counterclockwise to retract the quill
until the live center is released from the quill.
3.7.6 Indexing/Spindle lock
Indexing is used to create evenly spaced features around the
circumference of the workpiece while keeping the spindle
locked. There are 24 index positions in the spindle pulley,
each 15° apart, to help you rotate the workpiece evenly for
accurately spaced features.
Place the spindle lock in the locked position to help maintain the certain index point.
CAUTION: Make sure to DISENGAGE the spindle lock before starting the lathe again.
Never start the lathe with the index pin engaged in the spindle pulley!!
3.7.7 Adjusting the speed
MC1421VDA MC1421VDB: Three speed ranges: 60-720, 130-1700 RPM, and 300-3550 RPM.
MC1421VF: Two speed ranges: Low 0-1500 RPM and High 0-3550 RPM.
11
Page 15
FOR MC1421VDA MC1421VDB FOR MC1421VF
Always start at slower speeds for rough cuts and larger workpieces. Use faster
speeds for refined cuts and detailed work. Set the suitable speed range for your
operation by adjusting the belt position. Change the speed within a speed range
using the speed adjustment knob. The speed will be displayed on the digital RPM
readout on the front panel.
1. When changing speed, make sure to turn off and disconnect the lathe.
2. Loosen the knob on the top front of the headstock and open the belt drive access plate.
3. Open lower belt drive plate onto the left side of the headstock.
4. Loosen the motor tensioning locking handle.
5. Adjust the belt’s position on both the upper
and lower drive pulleys to the desired speed
range setting. Make sure the belt is vertically
aligned on the upper and lower pulleys.
6. Tighten the locking handle to its original
position, allowing the weight of the motor to place
the belt under tension.
8. Close the lower belt drive plate. Close the
upper belt drive access plate and tighten the belt
drive access panel knob.
9. Use the speed adjustment knob on the front
12
Page 16
panel to set the speed within your selected speed range. Use the forward/reverse switch to set the
rotational direction.
3.7.8 Speed recommendations
High range is best when turning a workpiece where a clean finish is required and only light cuts are
made. Mid range is a compromise between high and low ranges. Low range, which has more torque,
is best when turning a workpiece where a lot of material must be removed and a rough finish does
not matter. Use the speed dial to adjust spindle speed within each range.
4. Operation
The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice machine operator with a basic understanding
of how the machine is used during operation, so the machine controls/components discussed later
in this manual are easier to understand. Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not intended
to be an instructional guide. To learn more about specific operations, read this entire manual, seek
additional training from experienced machine operators, and do additional research outside of this
manual by reading "how-to" books, trade magazines, or websites.
If you are not experienced with this type of machine, WE STRONGLY
RECOMMEND that you seek additional training outside of this manual. Read
books/magazines or get formal training before beginning any projects.
TURN OFF MACHINE BEFORE CHANGING ROTATIONAL DIRECTION.
4.1 Spindle turning
Spindle turning is the operation performed when a workpiece is mounted between centers. Bowls,
table legs, tool handles, and candlesticks are typical projects where this operation is used.
To set up a spindle turning operation:
13
Page 17
▲ Find center point of both ends of your workpiece
by drawing diagonal lines from corner to corner
across end of workpiece.
▲ Make a center mark by using a wood mallet and
tapping point of spur center into center of workpiece on
both ends.
▲ Using a
1⁄4" drill bit, drill a 1⁄4" deep hole at center
mark on end of the workpiece to be mounted on
headstock spur center.
▲ To help embed spur center into workpiece, cut
1⁄8"
deep saw kerfs in headstock end of workpiece along
diagonal lines marked in Step 1.
▲ If your workpiece is over 2" x 2", cut corners off workpiece lengthwise to make turning safer and
easier.
6. Drive spur center into end center mark of workpiece
with a wood mallet to embed it at least
1⁄4" into
workpiece.
7. With workpiece still attached, insert spur center into
headstock spindle.
Note: Use tool rest to support opposite end
of workpiece so that workpiece and spur center do not separate during installation.
8. Install live center into tailstock quill and tighten quill-lock handle to lock quill in position.
9. Slide tailstock toward workpiece until point of live center touches workpiece center mark, then lock
tailstock in this position.
10. Loosen quill-lock handle and rotate tailstock handwheel to push live center into workpiece at
least 1⁄4".
11. Properly adjust tool rest to workpiece.
12. Before beginning lathe operation, rotate workpiece by hand to ensure there is safe clearance on
all sides.
4.1.1 Spindle turning tips
▲ When turning the lathe ON, stand away from the path of the spinning workpiece until the spindle
reaches full speed and you can verify that the workpiece will not come loose.
▲ Use the slowest speed when starting or stopping the lathe.
▲ Select the right speed for the size of workpiece that you are turning.
▲ Keep the turning tool on the tool rest the ENTIRE time that it is in contact with the workpiece.
▲ Learn the correct techniques for each tool you will use. If you are unsure about how to use the
lathe tools, read books or magazines about lathe techniques, and seek training from experienced
14
Page 18
and knowledgeable lathe users.
The following operation instructions serves as a beginning point for some common lathe operations.
Practice on scrap material to become familiarized with the operation process and make the
necessary adjustments before working on your workpiece.
4.1.2 Roughing out cut
Roughing out is the first step of the lathe operation, which uses the large roughing gouge tool to
smooth out sharp corners to make the workpiece cylindrical. When roughing out a workpiece, run
the lathe at low speed and always cut downhill, from the large diameter side of the workpiece to the
small diameter side.
1. Make sure the lathe turned off and disconnected. The first cut will start about 2 inches from the
tailstock end of the workpiece. Adjust the tool rest to the suitable position and set the lathe to a slow
speed.
2. Plug in and turn on the lathe. Wait for the motor to reach full speed. Place the roughing gouge on
the tool rest about 2 inches from the tailstock end of the workpiece. Slowly and gently raise the tool
handle until the cutting edge comes into contact with the workpiece.
NOTE: Make sure that the tool is being held well on the work, with the bevel or
grind tangent to the revolving surface or the workpiece. This position will generate
a clean shearing cut. Do not push the tool straight into the work.
3. To make the first pass, rolling the flute of the tool (the hollowed-out portion) towards the end of
the tailstock.
4. Make the second pass, starting at about 2 or 3 inches to the left of the first cut. Again, advance
the tool towards the tailstock, and merge with the previous cut.
5. As your cuts get close to the headstock live center end of the workpiece, roll the gouge in the
opposite direction to carry the final cut off the live center end of the workpiece.
Always work towards the end of the workpiece; NEVER start a cut at the end.
6. Make long sweeping cuts in a continuous motion to turn the workpiece to a cylinder. Keep as
much of the bevel of the tool in contact with the workpiece as possible to ensure control and avoid
catches. The roughing cut is continued until the work approaches about 1/8 inch to the required
cylinder diameter.
7. Once the workpiece is roughed down to a cylinder, smooth it with a large skew chisel tool. The
turning speed can be increased. Keep the skew handle perpendicular to the spindle and use only
the center third of the cutting edge for a long smoothing cut (touching one of the points of the skew
to the spinning workpiece may cause a catch and ruin the workpiece).
NOTE: Constantly remember to move the tool rest inward towards the workpiece
to keep a safe distance between the tool and your workpiece.
4.1.3 Creating Beads
Making a parting cut for the desired depth and location of your bead.
1. Place the parting tool on the tool rest and move the tool forward to make the full bevel of the tool
come into contact with the workpiece. Gently raise the handle to make cuts of the appropriate depth.
Repeat for the other side of the bead.
15
Page 19
2. Using a small skew or spindle gouge, start in the center between the two cuts and cut down each
side to form the bead. Roll the tool in the direction of the cut.
4.1.4 Creating coves
Using a spindle gouge to create a cove.
1. With the flute of the tool at 90 degrees to the workpiece, touch the point of the tool to the
workpiece and roll in towards the bottom of the cove. Stop at the bottom, as attempting to go up the
opposite side may cause the tool to catch.
2. Move the tool over the desired width of the cove. With the flute facing the opposite direction,
repeat the step for the other side of the cove. Stop at the bottom of the cut.
4.1.5 Creating V-grooves
Using the point of the skew to create a V-groove in the workpiece.
1. Lightly mark the center of the V with the top of the skew. Move the point of the skew to the right
half of the desired width of your cut.
2. With the bevel parallel to the right side of the cut, raise the handle and push the tool in to the
desired depth. Repeat from the left side.
NOTE: The two cuts should meet at the bottom and leave a clean V-groove.
Additional cuts may be taken to add to either the depth or the width of the cut.
4.1.6 Sanding the workpiece
Adjust the lathe to a slower speed for sanding and finishing. High speed can build friction while
sanding and cause burns in some woods. The cleaner the cuts, the less sanding will be required. So
try to make the cuts as refined as you can before moving to the sanding process.
1. Use sandpaper finer than 120 grit, as coarse sandpaper may scratch the workpiece. Fold the
sandpaper into a pad will allow easier and safer sanding. Do not wrap the sandpaper around your
fingers or the workpiece.
2. Apply light pressure to the workpiece during sanding. Use power-sanding techniques to avoid
concentric sanding marks around your finished piece.
3. Progress through finer grits of sandpaper until the desired surface is achieved. Finish sanding
with 220 grit sandpaper.
4.2 Bowl turning
4.2.1 Mounting the workpiece onto the face plate
When turning bowls or plates with a large diameter, mounting it to the face plate to gives the
maximum amount of support. While face plates are the most reliable method for holding a larger
block of wood for turning, a lathe chucks can also be used. A chuck is handy when working on more
than one piece at a time, allowing you to open the chuck and change workpieces instead of having
to remove the mounting screws.
1. Select a stock that is at least .2 inches (5 mm) larger than each dimension of the finished
workpiece.
2. Remove any bark from the top of the wood stock (that will be later attached onto a face plate or in
a chuck).
3. True one of the surfaces of the workpiece for mounting against the face plate. Using the face
16
Page 20
plate as a template, mark the location of the mounting holes on the workpiece and drill pilot holes of
the appropriate size.
If the mounting screws on the face plate will interfere with the workpiece, a waste block can be
used. Shape the waste block so that it is of the
same diameter as the face plate. Flatten the mating
surfaces of the waste block and the workpiece. Use
a high quality glue suitable for the particular
workpiece to prevent the workpiece from falling off
during operation. Glue the waste block to the
workpiece securely. If you plan to use a chuck, turn
the waste block into a tenon of the appropriate
length and diameter to fit your chuck.
4.2.2 To shape the inside of a bowl or plate
▲ Turn off the lathe and move the tailstock out of the way.
▲ Mount the workpiece onto the face plate and install the face plate on to the headstock.
▲ Adjust the tool rest in front of the workpiece to be just below the centerline and at the right angle
to the lathe’s turning axis.
▲ Rotate the workpiece by hand to check for proper seating and clearance.
▲ Begin shaping by lightly shearing across the top of the bowl from rim to center. Place a bowl
gouge tool on the tool rest at the center of the workpiece with the flute facing the top of the bowl.
The tool handle should be level and pointed toward the four o’clock position.
▲ Control the cutting edge of the gouge with the left hand, while swinging the tool handle around
towards your body with the right hand. The flute should start out facing the top of the workpiece,
rotating it upwards as it moves deeper into the bowl to maintain a clean and even curve. As the tool
goes deeper into the bowl, progressively work outwards towards the rim of the bowl. It may be
necessary to turn the tool rest into the piece as you get deeper into the bowl.
NOTE: Try to make one light continuous movement from the rim to the bottom of
the bowl to ensure a clean, sweeping curve through the piece. Should there be a
few small ridges left, a light cut with a large domed scraper can even out the
surface.
Develop the preferred wall thickness at the rim and maintain it as you work deeper into the bowl
(once the piece is thin toward the bottom, you cannot make it thinner at the rim). When the interior is
finished, move the tool rest back to the exterior to re-define the bottom of the bowl. Work the tight
area around the face plate or the chuck with a bowl gouge. Begin the separation with a parting tool,
but do not cut all the way through.
4.3 Turning tools
Lathe tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and usually fall into five major categories.
WARNING: Select the right tool for your task at hand. Make sure all tools, chisels
and accessories are sharp before using them.
DO NOT use dull or damaged tools!!

▲ Parting tool
Use the parting tool to form grooves and tenons
and to remove stock. It can also be used for
rolling small beads.
If possible, select only quality high-speed steel turning tools. High-speed steel
tools hold an edge and last longer than ordinary carbon steel. 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 project.

5. Maintenance
This chapter contains important information about
▲ Inspection
▲ Maintenance
ATTENTION!
Properly performed regular maintenance is an essential prerequisite for
operational safety, failure-free operation, a long service life of the wood lathe and
the quality of the products which you manufacture. Installations and equipment from other
manufacturers must also be in good condition.
5.1 Schedule
For optimum performance from this machine, this maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.
Ongoing
Daily Check Monthly Check
To maintain a low risk of injury and proper
machine operation, if you ever observe any of the
items below, shut down the machine immediately
and fix the problem before continuing operations:
• Loose faceplate or mounting bolts.
• Damaged center or tooling.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Loose machine components.
• Any other unsafe condition.
•Clean off dust buildup.
• Clean and lubricate
lathe bed, spindle, and
quill.
• Belt tension,
damage, or wear.
5.2 Cleaning
Cleaning this lathe is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the
remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin-dissolving cleaner to remove it.
Protect the unpainted cast-iron surfaces by wiping them clean after every use—this ensures moisture
from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.
5.3 Lubrication
All bearings on this lathe are lubricated and sealed at the factory, and do not need additional
lubrication.
Wipe a lightly oiled shop rag on the outside of the headstock spindle. DO NOT allow any oil to get on
the inside mating surfaces of the spindle.
Use the tailstock handwheel to extend the quill out to the furthest position and apply a thin coat of
white lithium grease to the outside of the quill.
DO NOT allow any oil or grease to get on the inside mating surfaces of the quill.
19
Page 23
5.4 Tensioning and replacing belt
Most of the stretching will occur during the first 16 hours, but may continue with further use. If the
lathe loses power while making a cut, the belt may be slipping and need tensioning. If the belt shows
signs of excessive wear, or damage, replace it.
5.4.1 Tension belt
1. Disconnect machine from power!
2. Open the front and lower belt drive access plates, and loosen belt-tension lock handle.
3. Press belt with moderate pressure in center to check tension. Belt is correctly tensioned when there
is approximately 1⁄2" deflection.
4. Re-install side access cover and close front access cover.
5.4.2 Replacing belt
1. Disconnect machine from power!
2. Open the front and lower belt drive access plates.
3. Loosen belt-tension locking handle, release belt tension, then remove belt from motor pulley.
4. Unthread and remove spindle handwheel, then remove (3) Phillips head screws from spindle end
cover and remove cover.
5. Move belt around pulley and spindle, then remove belt through upper opening.
6. Insert new belt through lower opening, and pull it around end of spindle onto pulley.
7. Re-install headstock spindle handwheel.
8. Loosely install belt on inner or outermost motor pulley position.
9. Tighten belt-tension lock handle.
10. Follow Step 4 in the Tensioning Belt procedure to set belt tension.
11. Close the front and lower belt drive access plates.
5.5 Replacing brushes (FOR MC1421VDA ONLY)
This machine is equipped with a universal motor that uses a pair of carbon brushes to transmit power.
These brushes are considered to be regular "wear items" or "consumables" that will eventually need
to be replaced. The frequency of this replacement is directly related to how much the motor is used
and how hard it is pushed. These brushes are not covered under warranty.
Replace both brushes at the same time if the motor no longer reaches full power, operates
inconsistently, or when the brushes measure less than 1⁄4" long (new brushes are 5⁄8" long).
20
Page 24
To replace motor brushes:
1. Disconnect machine from power!
2. Use dime to unscrew and remove brush caps on front and rear of motor.
4. Use a ruler to measure wear of each carbon brush. If either brush is worn to less than 1/4" in length,
replace both brushes.
5. Insert new brush assemblies, positioning them to slide into slots in motor sockets. Individually,
press each brush cap against its spring, pushing it into motor socket and turning each brush cap to
lock it into motor housing.
6. Test run machine.
