Additional Safety for Copy Attachments
MAIN INJURY HAZARDS: Death or crushing injury from getting entangled in rotating lathe
spindle or workpiece; death, blindness, or broken bones from being struck by a workpiece that
breaks apart or comes loose during rotation, turning tool kickback, or flying wood chips. To
minimize your risk of these hazards, always heed the following warning information:
LATHE OPERATIONS. Refer to your lathe own-
er’s manual for all lathe related operations.
PROPER SETUP. Ensure copy attachment is
properly setup and adjusted before operating.
INTEGRITY OF STOCK. Verify each workpiece
is free of knots, splits, nails, or foreign material
to ensure it can safely rotate on spindle without
breaking apart or causing turning tool kickback.
WORKPIECE PREPARATION. Before mounting,
cut off waste portions with a bandsaw or other tool
to ensure workpiece has no large edges to catch
turning tool, and it will rotate without dangerous
wobbling.
SECURING LOCKS. Verify tool rest, headstock,
and tailstock are secure before turning lathe ON.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION. Always wear a face
shield and safety glasses when operating lathe.
PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear gloves, necktie
or loose clothing. Keep keep long hair away from
rotating spindle.
NEW SETUPS. Test each new setup by starting
spindle rotation at the lowest speed and standing
to the side of the lathe until workpiece reaches full
speed and you can verify safe rotation.
ROUGHING. Use correct cutting tool. Take light
cuts, use low speeds.
SHARP CUTTING TOOLS. Only use sharp cutting tools— they cut with less resistance than dull
tools. Dull cutting tools can catch or grab and
cause workpiece to break apart.
SECURING WORKPIECE. A n im pr op erl y se cu re d
workpiece can fly off spindle with deadly force.
Use proven setup techniques and always verify
workpiece is well-secured before starting lathe.
ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Remove all chuck keys,
wrenches, and adjustment tools before turning
lathe ON. A tool left on the lathe can become a
deadly projectile when spindle is started.
SAFE CLEARANCES. Before starting spindle,
verify workpiece has adequate clearance by
hand-rotating it through its entire range of motion.
STOPPING SPINDLE. Always allow spindle to
completely stop on its own. Never put hands or
another object on spinning workpiece.
ADJUSTMENTS/MAINTENANCE. Make sure
wood lathe is turned OFF, disconnected from
power, and all moving parts a re c o m p l et e ly s to p pe d
before doing adjustments or maintenance.
MEASURING WORKPIECE. Only measure workpiece after it has stopped. Trying to measure a
spinning workpiece increases entanglement risk.

The unpainted surfaces of your 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
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
There are many ways to remove this rust preventative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.
Before cleaning, gather the following:

Assembly
Mounting Support Arms
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
The assembly process consists of selecting the
appropriate support arm orientation, mounting
the support arms and copy attachment bed, and
finally aligning the copy attachment. The alignment procedures are critical to the proper operation of the copy attachment, DO NOT skip these
procedures.
All assembly and adjustment instructions
assume that your lathe is axially aligned,
i.e., headstock and tailstock are centered on
the same axis. Consult your lathe owner’s
manual for proper procedure.
Selecting correct support arm orientation
is critical to ensure that cutting tool will be
positioned at spindle centerline.
Selecting Support Arm Setup
The support arms must be oriented in a specific
way depending on which lathe the copy attachment will be mounted. Figure 5 shows the support arm orientation for each of the four wood
lathes onto which the model T27313 mounts. The
arms will be mounted on top of the lathe bed with
the mounting holes extending approximately 6"
past it.
2. Mount (2) support arms perpendicular to,
and on top of, lathe bed with (2) support arm
clamping plates, (2) support arm clamps, (2)
M8-1.25 x 150 carriage bolts, (2) 8mm fender
washers, and (2) M8-1.25 knobs. Carriage
bolt head should be on top of support arm
clamp, and support arm clamping plates
should be below lathe bed (see Figure 6).
Note:Leave knobs finger tight so support
arm assembly can slide across lathe bed.

Model T27313 (Mfd. Since 01/15)
Performing Final Alignment
Final alignment of the lathe and copy attachment must be precise to ensure they are parallel.
Before completing the following steps, mount a
turning square blank between the centers of your
lathe.
The turning square blank should be as long as the
maximum center-to-center distance of your lathe
to ensure the greatest degree of accuracy. It is
critical that the turning square blank is perfectly
centered and as near-perfectly straight as possible.
Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing, jewelry, or other personal items that could be
caught in moving parts of the machinery
while adjusting or operating this machine.
Serious personal injury could result if this
warning is ignored.
To perform final alignment:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Move carriage to one end of copy attach-
ment and advance cross-feed handwheel
until cutting tool nearly touches side of blank
(see Figure 13).
3. Without changing position of turning blank,
slowly turn longitudinal feed handwheel to
move carriage toward opposite end of lathe.
Use a feeler gauge or another precision
spacer to check that the distance between
cutter and turning square is consistent (see
Figure 14).
Figure 14. Example of using precision spacer.
—If cutting tool does not maintain a consis-
tent distance from turning square at both
ends of longitudinal movement, loosen
support arm assembly knobs and carefully adjust bed until cutting tool is an equal
distance from turning square at both ends
of its longitudinal movement. Then tighten
support arm assembly knobs.
4. Continue to test and adjust copy attachment
until it is evenly spaced along length of turning square.

Workpiece
Copy Attachment
Inspection
Some workpieces are not safe to turn or may
require modification before they are safe to
turn. Before turning a workpiece, inspect all
workpieces for the following:
• Workpiece Type:This machine is intended for cutting natural
and man-made wood products, and some
plastics. Never attempt to cut any metal,
stone, or rubber workpiece; cutting these
materials can lead to machine damage or
severe injury.
• Foreign Objects:Nails, staples, dirt, rocks and other foreign
objects are often embedded in wood. While
cutting, these objects can become dislodged
and hit the operator, cause tool grab, or break
the turning tool, which might then fly apart.
Always visually inspect your workpiece for
these items. If they can't be removed, DO
NOT turn the workpiece.
• Large/Loose Knots:Loose knots can become dislodged during
the turning operation. Large knots can cause
a workpiece to completely break in half during turning and cause machine damage and
personal injury. Choose workpieces that do
not have large/loose knots.
• Excessive Warping:Workpieces with excessive bowing or twist-
ing are unstable and unbalanced. Never turn
these workpieces at high speed, or instability
will be magnified and the workpiece can be
ejected from the lathe causing impact injures.
Only turn concentric workpieces!
Tips
• To reduce whip and vibration of relatively
narrow copy spindles, we recommend operating the longitudinal handwheel with your left
hand and backing up the spinning workpiece
with your right. DO NOT attempt to grip the
workpiece too tightly while it is turning.
• If the cut you are producing is too rough, try
increasing the rotation speed of your lathe
(not to exceed the maximum recommended
speed for the size of material you are turning) and take a lighter cut. See your lathe’s
instruction manual for recommended speeds.
• As with any other surfacing operation, we
recommend taking multiple passes, rather
than trying to remove too much wood all at
once. This is much safer and will also result
in improved cutting results.
• When making copies, always move the stylus
so it follows the template or master profile
“downhill”. Trying to move the stylus “uphill”
along the template will cause the stylus and
cutter to dig into the template and workpiece.
• To avoid unnecessary waste of expensive
premium materials, we strongly recommend
you turn a test piece before attempting duplication on your finish material. Make adjustments as required.
• You can save time during duplication by
removing the corners from all of the spindles
you plan on creating before activating the
copy attachment. You will need to make the
cuts with a lathe chisel on your tool rest, prior
to installing the copy attachment.

Copy Stylus
Cutting Tool
To ensure the greatest level of precision while
copying from a template or a master spindle, it
is essential that the copy stylus is properly positioned at the underside of the carriage. When
adjusting the stylus, keep in mind that its follower
edge should be centered on the template or master profile, so the narrowest point fits securely.
To adjust stylus:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Center master spindle on copy centers, or
attach template to support brackets.
3. Loosen M5-.8 x 10 set screw, then adjust
stylus height until the follower edge is centered on template or profile (see Figure 15).
The cutting tool can be positioned closer to or
farther from the workpiece by loosening the set
screw at the top of the cutting tool collar.
To install or replace cutting tool:
1. Loosen M8-1.25 x 16 set screw on cutting tool collar shown in Figure 16.
2. Insert cutting tool with triangular cutting edge
facing up (see Figure 16), then tighten set
screw.

Basic Operation
Make sure headstock and tailstock centers
are properly aligned before beginning any
turning operation. See your lathe owner's
manual for additional instructions on this
procedure. Failure to observe this warning
could result in workpiece being thrown from
lathe, resulting in serious personal injury.
To make copies from existing spindle or template:
4. Mount template or master spindle onto copy
attachment.
—If you are using a template, spread tem-
plate mounting brackets (see Figure 18)
apart to accommodate template. Drill holes
in your template and secure it to mounting
brackets. Position template on copy attachment main body so profile will line up with
desired location of profile on workpiece.
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Mount workpiece on lathe.
3. Move carriage with longitudinal handwheel
until tip of cutter is precisely located at point
on workpiece where you want turning action
to begin.
Note: Always move stylus so it follows the
template “downhill”. Trying to move “uphill”
along the template will cause the stylus
and cutting tool to dig into the template and
workpiece (see Figure 17).

—If you are using a master spindle, mount
spindle between copy attachment centers.
Position and secure head center so existing spindle profile will line up with intended
profile area on copy. Slide tail center so it
just touches master spindle and secure it.
Then hold master spindle and tighten hand
knob located on tail center.
5. Adjust crossfeed handwheel until stylus
comes in contact with template in its desired
position.

travel.

6. Move carriage stylus to left hand limit of profiled area and adjust left hand carriage stop
until it contacts carriage, then tighten stop
(see Figure 19).

Stop
Figure 19. Adjusting carriage stops.
7. Repeat procedure for right hand stop.
12. Turn lathe OFF and inspect results.
—If workpiece is tapered, copy attachment
is not properly aligned to wood lathe (refer
to PerformingFinal Alignment on Page
13).
13. If you are satisfied, continue to remove mate-
rial from workpiece, using “downhill” cutting
method illustrated in Figure 17 on Page 17.
Tip: Avoid cutting “uphill”. It will likely result in
chipping and gouging.
14. Continue removing stock until workpiece is
complete (see Figure 20).
8. Adjust cutting tool so both it and stylus are
just touching workpiece and template.
—It is essential for accurate copying that
cutting tool tip and stylus always remain at
same positions in relation to workpiece and
template.
9. Slide carriage away from workpiece, so stylus and cutter are clear of workpiece and
template.
10. Turn lathe ON at its slowest speed, then
slowly advance cutting tool toward left edge
of workpiece. Once contact is made, advance
cutting tool into copy spindle approximately
1
⁄16". Turn longitudinal handwheel so the car-
riage travels from left to right.
11. After each pass, extend cutting tool another
1
⁄16" (maximum), and repeat with another
pass. Repeat this process until stylus comes
in contact with template.
Figure 20. Shaping the copy spindle.
15. After completing initial copy, continue follow-
ing Steps 1–14 until all spindles are completed.
16. When all spindles are complete, remove copy
attachment and replace it with the lathe tool
post.
17. Use appropriate lathe chisels to sharpen
details and smooth turned surfaces of each
copy, then sand smooth.
—If cutting tool tends to bite or gouge
workpiece, back off cutting tool slightly and
try again. Be conservative when removing
stock.

Cleaning the Model T27313is 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 any unpainted cast iron surfaces by wiping it clean after every use—this ensures moisture
from wood dust does not remain on bare metal
surfaces. Keep cast iron surfaces rust-free with
regular applications of products like G96

Cable Tension
Gib Adjustment
The movement of the carriage assembly along
the body of the copy attachment is controlled by
the movement of the longitudinal-feed handwheel.
This handwheel is connected to the carriage via a
cable. This cable should be taut to ensure responsive movement from the carriage.
4. Slide carriage back and forth to test for bind-
ing or wobble.
—If carriage binds or wobbles, repeat Step 3.
5. When adjustments are complete, tighten the
hex nuts while maintaining the set screw
position.
