Glossary Of Terms

The following is a list of common definitions, terms and phrases used throughout this manual as they relate
to this wood lathe and turning in general. Become familiar with these terms for assembling, adjusting or
operating this machine. Your safety is VERY important to us at Grizzly!

Bed: The long, rail-like metal base to which

the tailstock, tool base, and headstock are
attached.

Chuck: A mechanical device that attaches to the

spindle and holds the workpiece.

Faceplate: The metal disc that threads onto the

headstock spindle.

Faceplate Turning: Turning situation in which

the grain of the turning stock is at right angles
to the lathe bed axis.

Backing Block: A sacrificial piece of wood glued

to the base of the workpiece and screwed to
the faceplate. Often used to prevent mount­ing marks from appearing on the completed
workpiece.

Headstock: The cast metal box to which the

motor is attached and contains the spindle,
bearings, and electrical components for oper­ating the lathe.

Outboard Turning: Turning of workpiece with the

headstock situated at the far end of the lathe so
the work done is not over the bed of the lathe.

Roughing Out: Taking stock from square billet to

round blank.

Spindle: This term has two meanings. First, it

refers to the threaded shaft in the headstock
to which the faceplate is attached. Second, it
refers to any work that is spindle-turned.

Spindle-Turning: Work performed where the

grain and length of the workpiece are parallel
to the axis of the bed.

Swing: The capacity of the lathe, measured

by doubling the distance from the bed to the
spindle center.

Tailstock: The metal component at the opposite

end of the bed from the headstock containing a
quill and live or dead centers. It maintains pres­sure on the spindle-turned workpiece.

Index Head: The mechanism that allows the

headstock spindle to be locked at specific
intervals for layout or other auxiliary tasks.

and debris can be hazardous to the eyes/face
and may cause allergies or long-term respiratory
health problems. Always wear eye protection or a
face shield when operating the lathe.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION. Always wear a
respirator when using this machine. Wood dust
may cause allergies or long-term respiratory
health problems.

MOUNTING WORKPIECE. Before starting, be
certain the workpiece has been properly imbed­ded on the headstock and tailstock centers and
that there is adequate clearance for the full rota­tion.

ADJUSTING TOOL REST. Adjust tool rest to
provide proper support for the turning tool you
will be using. Test tool rest clearance by rotating
workpiece by hand before turning lathe ON.

TURNING SPEED. Select the correct turning
speed for your work, and allow the lathe to gain
full speed before using.

USING SHARP CHISELS. Keep lathe chisels
properly sharpened and held firmly in position
when turning.

OPERATING DAMAGED LATHE. Never oper­ate the lathe with damaged or worn parts.

WORKPIECE CONDITION. Always inspect the
condition of your workpiece. DO NOT turn pieces
with knots, splits, and other potentially dangerous
conditions. Make sure joints of glued-up pieces
have high quality bonds and won't fly apart during
operation.

ADJUSTMENTS/MAINTENANCE. Make sure
your wood lathe is turned OFF, disconnected from
its power source, and all moving parts have come
to a complete stop before starting any inspection,
adjustment, or maintenance procedure.

STOPPING LATHE. DO NOT stop the lathe by
using your hand against the workpiece. Allow the
lathe to stop on its own.

AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Keep long hair
and loose clothing articles such as sleeves, belts,
and jewelry items away from the lathe spindle.

FACEPLATE TURNING. When faceplate turning,
make sure the faceplate is securely attached to
the workpiece and it is properly attached to the
spindle. When faceplate turning, use lathe chisels
on the downward spinning side of the workpiece
only.

SANDING/POLISHING. Remove the tool rest
when performing sanding or polishing operations
on the rotating spindle.

MATERIAL REMOVAL RATE. Attempting to
remove too much material at once may cause
workpiece to fly out of the lathe.

Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to lessen the pos­sibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri­ous personal injury may occur.

Circuit Requirements

Before installing the machine, consider the avail­ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, or
equipment damage may
occur if machine is not
correctly grounded and
connected to the power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over­loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.

For your own safety and protection of

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to

a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, con­sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup­ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec­essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per­sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon­nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.

We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine.
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:

Grounding Requirements

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.

For 220V operation: The plug specified under
“
page has a grounding prong that must be attached
to the equipment-grounding wire on the included
power cord. The plug must only be inserted into
a matching receptacle (see following figure) that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.

Serious injury could occur if you connect
