3. Replace warning labels if they become
obscured or removed.

4. This lathe is designed and intended for use by
properly trained and experienced personnel
only. If you are not familiar with the proper and
safe operation of a lathe, do not use until proper
training and knowledge have been obtained.

5. Do not use this machine for other than its
intended use. If used for other purposes,
Powermatic disclaims any real or implied
warranty and holds itself harmless from any
injury that may result from that use.

6. Always wear protective eye wear when
operating machinery. Eye wear shall be impact
resistant, protective safety glasses with side
shields which comply with ANSI Z87.1
specifications. Use of eye wear which does not
comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications could
result in severe injury from breakage of eye
protection. (Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses; they are NOT safety
glasses.)

7. Before operating this machine, remove tie,
rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll
sleeves up past the elbows. Do not wear loose
clothing. Confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or
anti-skid floor strips are recommended. Do not

27. Never leave the Lathe running unattended.
Turn the power off and do not leave the
machine until the spindle comes to a complete
stop.

28. Use proper extension cord. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Sect.

7.2, Table 2 shows correct size to use
depending upon cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.

29. Never leave the Lathe running unattended.
Turn the power off and do not leave the
machine until the spindle comes to a complete
stop.

30. Remove loose items and unnecessary work
pieces from the area before starting the
machine.

31. Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don't use
power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose
them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

32. Check the workpiece carefully for splits, knots
or other obstructions which may cause a safety
risk while turning.

33. Adjust the tool support to the proper height and
position for the work. Rotate the workpiece by
hand to check clearance with the tool support.

34. Select the appropriate speed for the turning job
at hand. Start at low speed and allow the Lathe
to ramp up to operating speed.

35. Never stop a rotating workpiece with your hand.

36. If gluing up a workpiece, always use a high­quality glue of the type necessary for that
particular workpiece.

6.3 Tools required for assembly

8mm hex key (“Allen wrench”)

The Lathe must be discon-

nected from power during assembly. Use an
assistant or a hoist to help lift items.

1. Remove any screws or straps that hold the
Lathe parts to the pallet, and remove protective
wrapping. Set all boxes containing accessories
to the side.

2. The Lathe should be located in a dry area, on a
sturdy bench or the Powermatic accessory
stand (#1792014S), and with sufficient lighting.
Leave plenty of space around the machine for
operations and routine maintenance work.

(If the accessory stand was purchased, refer to
the assembly instructions that accompany it.)

3. Exposed metal areas of the Lathe, such as bed
ways and spindles, have been factory coated
with a protectant. This should be removed with
a soft cloth and a cleaner-degreaser. Clean the
bed areas under headstock, tailstock and tool
support base. Do not use an abrasive pad, and
do not allow solvents to contact painted or
plastic areas.

4. Apply a light coat of SAE10 oil to the exposed
metal areas to impede rust.

6.4 Tool caddy

The tool caddy may be mounted to the lathe bed
with the provided screws and washers. See Figure
5-1. It may also be mounted to the optional
extension bed.

6.5 #6294755 Bed extension

(OPTIONAL)

If you did not purchase the optional 13-inch bed
extension, proceed to sect. 6.6.

To mount bed extension to Lathe:

1. Slide tailstock away from edge of bed, and
unscrew stud (A, Figure 6-2).

2. Have an assistant hold bed extension flush to
end of Lathe bed, and insert four 3/8 x 1-3/4
socket head cap screws with lock washers and
flat washers (provided with extension bed)
through holes in bed extension into threaded
holes on Lathe (8mm hex wrench). Make
screws snug but do not fully tighten. See Figure
6-2.

3. Adjust extension bed to lathe bed, aligning top
surface and inside ways as closely as possible.
Make screws snug but do not fully tighten yet.

4. Slide tailstock over joint where beds meet, so
that clamping nut is centered over joint, as
shown in Figure 6-2. Firmly tighten tailstock
clamping handle; this will align the beds.

10

IMPORTANT: Top surface of bed extension
must be flush with surface of lathe bed, and

inside ways must be aligned, to allow smooth
movement of tailstock across joint.

5. Tighten screws securely.

6. Unlock tailstock and slide it back and forth to
test smoothness of joint. Make any additional
adjustments as needed.

7. Install stud at end of bed extension.

Figure 6-2: optional 13” bed extension

Lower position:

If lathe is mounted to the optional Powermatic stand,
the bed extension may be mounted in lower
position. See Figure 6-17. Three screws will be used
instead of four.

Lower position is used for bowl turning when
headstock is at outboard end of lathe bed, as shown
in Figure 6-17. An optional toolrest post extension
(B, Figure 6-17) is included with the extension bed,
and can be used to elevate toolrest when using
extension bed in lower position.

Figure 6-4: utility holes

7.0 Electrical connections

Electrical connections must be

made by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all relevant codes. This machine must be
properly grounded to help prevent electrical
shock and possible fatal injury.

The Lathe will operate on single phase, 120 volt
power supply. The Variable Frequency Drive, or
“inverter,” converts the incoming power to the
necessary input for the 3-phase motor.

It is recommended that the lathe be connected to a
15 amp circuit with circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

Local codes take precedence over recommen­dations.

7.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This machine must be grounded. 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 and 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.

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-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.

Two M12-1.5P threaded holes are provided atop the
headstock, protected by rubber bungs. These holes
can be used to attach accessories (not provided),
such as lighting, guarding or dust collection. Use a
flat blade screwdriver to unscrew the bungs. Note:
The holes should remain covered if not being used,
to prevent debris from entering the headstock.

Check with a qualified

electrician or service personnel if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded. Failure to comply may cause serious
or fatal injury.

11

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.

This tool is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit, and
has a grounded plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in sketch A in Figure 7-1. A temporary
adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated in
sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug
to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a
properly grounded outlet is not available.

The temporary adaptor should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed
by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid
ear, lug, or the like extending from the adaptor must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw.

In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not
permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1.

Figure 7-1: plug configuration

7.2 Extension cords

The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to
position machines near the power source. If an
extension cord is necessary, make sure it is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table 2 shows correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord

8.0 Adjustments

8.1 Headstock/tailstock movements

To slide headstock or tailstock, loosen locking
handle (A, Figure 8-1) until head/tailstock can slide
freely. When head/tailstock is positioned, swing
locking handle until it tightens securely.

To remove headstock, tailstock or tool support base
from bed, unscrew and remove stud at either end
(B, Figure 8-1). NOTE: After re-mounting these
items on the Lathe, always insert stud.

Figure 8-1: headstock, tailstock, tool support

Inboard turning:

For most spindle turning operations, the headstock
will be positioned at left end of bed, and only the
tailstock moved to accommodate the workpiece.
Loosen locking handle (C, Figure 8-1) to advance or
retract tailstock quill by rotating handwheel (D).
Retighten handle (C) before operating lathe. Lock
tailstock in position before operating.

Outboard turning:

For outboard turning, remove tailstock and tool rest
assembly from bed, and slide headstock to opposite
end of bed, as shown in Figure 8-2. Lock headstock
in position before operating.

Figure 8-2: outboard turning position

8.2 Tool support

An 8-inch toolrest is provided with your Lathe. It
allows adjustment for height, position on the bed,
and angle to the work.

Loosen locking handle (E, Figure 8-1) to slide
support base forward or back, and angle it to the
bed. Tighten locking handle securely before
operating Lathe.

Loosen small handle (F, Figure 8-1). Make sure
clamp bushings (inset, Figure 8-1) are spread apart
sufficiently to accept tool support post.

Adjust height of tool support and angle it to the work.
Tighten handle (F) before operating Lathe.

NOTE: Locking handle (F) and clamp bushings can
be removed from hole and inserted from opposite
side for convenience.

8.3 Cam tightness

If headstock, tailstock or tool rest base does not
properly tighten down against bed when locking
handle is tightened, adjust as follows. Figure 8-3
uses tailstock as example.

1. Unscrew and remove stud, and slide tailstock
off end of bed.

2. Turn tailstock on its side, and tighten lock nut
with a wrench. See Figure 8-3.

3. Mount tailstock on bed and test the adjustment.
When adjustments are complete, re-insert stud
at end of bed.

8.4 Locking handles

Locking handles, such as C and F, Figure 8-1, can
be rotated to more convenient position. Lift up on
handle, rotate it on pin, then release it, making sure
it seats on pin.

a spindle blank with a router, while the spindle blank
is secured between lathe centers. Numbers 1
through 24 are inscribed on top sheave (K, Figure
8-4) for reference. When lathe is powered, however,
the LED display can be used for rapid locating of
index positions, as follows.

1. Connect lathe to power source.

2. Push index button (G, Figure 8-4). The LED
display will change from RPM setting to index
setting.

3. Use handwheel (H) to rotate workpiece to
desired position.

4. Push in index pin (J, Figure 8-4) and rotate
workpiece slightly until pin engages hole. Then
screw index pin (J) further into headstock to
lock spindle.

5. Cut first flute in workpiece.

6. Push index button (G) to set engaged index
position at zero.

7. Unscrew index pin (J) to release spindle, then
rotate workpiece until next desired hole shows
on readout.

8. Engage index pin, and rout second flute.
Continue the process.

Example: If 6 evenly-spaced flutes are needed
around full workpiece circumference, use
positions 0, 8, 16, 24, 32, and 40.

IMPORTANT: When finished indexing, unscrew
and release index pin before turning on spindle.

The LED display will revert to RPM setting when
lathe spindle is turned on.

Figure 8-3: cam adjustment

8.5 Indexer

The indexer has 24 evenly spaced holes concentric
to the spindle, and is used to create evenly spaced
features in a workpiece, while keeping the lathe
spindle locked; for example, when cutting flutes on

Figure 8-4: indexer

8.6 Centers: installing/removing

8.6.1 Headstock spur center

1. To install the spur center, the spur center
should first be mounted to your workpiece; see
sect. 10.3 for details). Clean tapered end of
center and inside of headstock spindle, then
push center into spindle.

13

2. To remove the spur center, first remove
workpiece from Lathe. Insert knockout rod
(Figure 8-5) through hole in handwheel and
firmly tap tapered end of spur center.

IMPORTANT: Hold the center by either placing
thumb and forefinger on outside diameter of
spur center, or wrapping the center with a rag.
The center can be damaged if allowed to fall.

Figure 8-5: removing center from headstock

8.6.2 Tailstock live center

1. Clean the tapered end of center and the inside
of tailstock spindle.

2. Install the provided live center by pushing it into
tailstock spindle. It should resist any attempt to
pull it out by hand.

3. To remove the center from the tailstock, loosen
locking handle (C, Figure 8-6) and retract quill
by rotating handwheel counterclockwise until
center dislodges on its own. Hold the center
with one hand to prevent it from falling out of
spindle, which can damage it.

A drill chuck with #2 Morse taper (not provided) can
be mounted to the tailstock for end-drilling with a bit.

The hole through the tailstock can be used for deep
hole drilling, such as for a lamp spindle. A hollow
center (not provided) is mounted and an auger (not
provided) is passed through the tailstock into the
workpiece.

8.7 Face plate: installing/removing

1. Disconnect Lathe from power source.

2. Mount faceplate to your bowl blank.

3. Pull up spindle lock tab (Figure 8-7) and rotate
handwheel until lock engages spindle. Continue
holding tab in raised position.

4. Install faceplate onto threads of headstock
spindle and rotate clockwise hand-tight. When
the Lathe is turned on (forward rotation), the
rotational force will snug the faceplate even
farther onto the threads.

If at any time you will be

reversing spindle rotation, make sure the
two set screws in the faceplate are tight.
(One of these is shown in Figure 8-7.) Failure
to do this may cause faceplate to loosen
from headstock spindle.

5. Release tab to disengage lock. Note: Rotate
spindle slightly to ensure lock has disengaged.

6. To remove faceplate, back off the two set
screws (Figure 8-7) with 3mm hex wrench. Pull
up spindle lock tab and turn faceplate
counterclockwise with faceplate wrench, as
shown.

Failure to back off set

screws before attempting removal of
faceplate may result in damage to spindle
threads.

Figure 8-6: installing center in tailstock

Figure 8-7: installing/removing faceplate

8.8 Speed change

1. Disconnect Lathe from power source.

2. Pull open access door on headstock.

3. Loosen pivot lock handle (L, Figure 8-9) and lift
tension handle (M, Figure 8-9) to raise motor.
Tighten pivot lock handle (L, Figure 8-9) to hold

14

motor in raised position.

4. There should be sufficient slack in belt to
reposition it to the other steps on the sheaves.
The label on the access door shows the
required belt position. A similar graphic is
shown in Figure 8-8.

5. Loosen pivot lock handle (L, Figure 8-9) and
lower motor to tension belt. Be sure that V­grooves of belt seat properly in corresponding
grooves of sheave. Do not overtension; a very
light pressure on the tension handle (M) is
adequate to prevent belt slippage.

6. Tighten pivot lock handle (L).

Figure 8-8

8.9 Sheave and belt alignment

1. The motor and spindle sheaves are aligned by
the manufacturer, but if any service is
performed that affects their alignment it is very
important that they be realigned. To realign
them, loosen two set screws on spindle sheave
(one is shown at N, Figure 8-9) with a hex key,
and nudge spindle sheave into proper position.
Retighten both set screws.

2. When sheaves and belt are properly aligned,
there should be no unusual pulsing sounds or
noise coming from the belt.

8.10 Sheave/drive belt replacement

IMPORTANT: Replacing spindle sheave or belt can
be a challenging procedure. If you do not feel
confident performing this action, take the headstock
to an authorized Powermatic service center.

1. Disconnect lathe from power source.

2. Loosen lock handle (L, Figure 8-9) and lift
handle (M) to raise motor.

3. Tighten lock handle (L) to hold motor in raised
position. Slip belt off lower pulley.

4. Loosen two set screws on handwheel (P, Figure
8-9) with a 3mm hex wrench, and unscrew
handwheel off spindle (NOTE: Left-hand
threads; rotate clockwise to loosen).

5. Tap left end of spindle with a rubber mallet, or a
steel face hammer against a block of wood, to
push it to the right, just enough to remove
sheave or belt. (Never use a steel face hammer
directly against spindle.) Prevent the top
sheave from being forced into the
sensor/encoder assembly; if necessary loosen
sheave set screws and slide it to the left.

6. If replacing sheave, loosen two set screws (N,
Figure 8-9), and slide sheave off spindle. Install
new sheave, loosely securing the two set
screws at first. Make sure the sheave is
oriented properly.

7. Push spindle back into place. Make sure the
sensor collar is positioned over the sensor for
the digital readout to function.

8. Check for any spindle play or “runout” at this
point. If it exists, see sect. 13.0.

9. Reinstall handwheel and tighten set screws (P,
Figure 8-9).

10. Align new sheave (see sect. 8.9) then tighten
two set screws (N, Figure 8-9) securely on
sheave.

11. Loosen lock handle (L) and allow motor to
lower. Do not over-tension; a very light pressure
on tension handle (M) is adequate to prevent
belt slippage.

12. Tighten lock handle (L).

9.0 Operating controls

9.1 Power switch

The toggle switch atop the inverter turns on/off
power to the lathe. The holes in the flanges allow
insertion of a padlock (not included) for additional
safety. See sect. 1.1.

9.2 Remote switch box

See Figure 9-1.

The switch box has a magnetic base, and may be
conveniently placed anywhere on the lathe body.

(A) LED Readout: Displays spindle speed when
lathe is operating. Displays indexing position when
lathe is stopped and index button (E) has been
pushed.

(B) Spindle start/stop: Push green button to
activate spindle; red to stop.

(C) Spindle direction: Can be activated while
spindle is turning – spindle will automatically slow to
a stop before reversing direction.

9.3 Variable frequency drive (inverter)

The PM2014 Lathe uses the latest technology in
A.C. inverter drives to provide infinitely variable
spindle speeds within the specified ranges. The
inverter controls the speed of the motor by varying
the frequency of the voltage supplied to the motor.
The inverter provides an acceleration ramp that
eliminates the shock of normal starting.

Also, a braking feature eliminates long coasting
periods after the Lathe is turned off.

The A.C. Inverter does not require any programming
– it is pre-programmed by the manufacturer. Use

only the controls on the switch box to operate
lathe.

If an inverter error occurs, the LED on the switch box
will show “Err”. Contact Powermatic technical
service at 1-800-274-6846.

A lightning strike or power

surge may cause the inverter to fail. When lathe
is not in use, disconnect power plug, or have a
3-pole disconnect installed on the power side.

When turning with a face plate,

make sure both set screws on the face plate are
tight (see Figure 8-7) before reversing spindle.
Failure to comply may cause face plate to spin
loose from spindle.

(D) Speed control dial: Always start Lathe at

lowest speed, with dial rotated all the way counter­clockwise.

(E) Index button: Push to set index reference to
zero. See sect. 8.5.

Figure 9-1: operating controls

10.0 Operation

The information which follows is general in nature
and not intended to be a complete course in wood
turning. Much knowledge can be gained by
discussions with experienced woodturners or by
consulting books, trade articles, and internet
forums. Above all, simple trial and error will aid in
developing proficiency in the craft.

10.1 Inspection

Before operating the lathe, check that everything is
in proper working order:

1. Level your machine; If using the optional stand,
adjust the leveling feet.

2. Check bearings; there should be no endplay or
spindle runout.

3. Check belt; it should be snug but not overly
tight.

4. Bed ways; keep clean, use steel wool to remove
any rust spots, and apply paste wax to prevent
buildup of rust and finishes.

5. Tool support; use a mill file to remove nicks and
dings.

6. Spindle tapers; should be clean and free of dust
and chips for proper seating of tapers.

7. Tailstock; clean and lubricate quill and locking
device.

8. Lighting; proper lighting is essential to eliminate
shadows and reduce eye strain.

10.2 Turning tools

If possible, select only fine 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 may be acquired. The
following tools provide the basics for most
woodturning projects (see Figure 10-1):

Skews – 1-1/2" and 1" or 1-1/4", used to make
finishing cuts and details.

Large Roughing Gouge – 1" to 1-1/4", used to
eliminate waste wood.

Spindle Gouges – 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", used to turn
beads, coves and other details.

Deep Fluted Bowl Gouge – 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2",
used for turning bowls & plates.

Square Scraper (Bedan) – 3/8” or 1/2", used to
create square shoulders.

Large Round Nose (Domed) Scraper – 1-1/2",
used to reduce ridges on interior of bowls, round
edges of bowls, etc.

Parting Tool - 1/8", used for scraping, making a cut­off, or to set diameters for sizing.

Figure 10-1: Basic Turning Tools

For safety and best performance, keep tools sharp.
If a tool stops cutting or requires excessive pressure
to make a cut, it needs to be sharpened. A number
of brand name sharpening jigs and fixtures are
available; however, a woodturner should learn to
sharpen tools freehand.

For best results, use a slow speed grinder (1800
rpm) fitted with a 60-grit aluminum oxide wheel (for
shaping) and a 100-grit alum. oxide wheel (for final
sharpening and touchup). The grinder should be
located near your lathe and at a comfortable height.
A diamond dresser will keep the wheels true and
eliminate glazing.

Never allow the tool to rest in one place on the
wheel; keep it moving and use a light touch.

Carbon steel tools can overheat easily and should
be cooled frequently. If the edge turns blue, it has
lost its temper and should be ground past the blue
area. High-speed steel tools are not as likely to
overheat, but can be damaged if allowed to get red
hot. High-speed steel tools should not be quenched
for cooling. Honing with a diamond lap or slipstone
will save trips to the grinder and keep the edge
fresh.

17

10.3 Spindle turning

Spindle turning takes place between the centers of
the lathe. It requires a spur or drive center in the
headstock and a live or dead center in the tailstock.
A cup center rather than a cone center in the
tailstock will often reduce the risk of splitting the
stock.

Figure 10-2 shows the basic profile shapes in
spindle turning.

Figure 10-2

10.3.1 Stock selection

Stock for spindles should be straight grained and
free of checks, cracks, knots and other defects. It
should be cut 1/8" to 1/4" larger than the finished
diameter and may require additional length so the
ends can be removed later. Larger stock should
have the corners removed to produce an octagon
making the piece easier to rough down to a cylinder.

1. With a combination square, or plastic center
finder for round stock, locate and mark center
on each end of the workpiece. Accuracy is not
critical on full rounds but extremely important on
stock where square sections are to remain. Put
a dimple in the stock with an awl or nail, or use
a spring-loaded automatic center punch.

2. Extremely hard woods may require kerfs cut
into the ends of the stock (Figure 10-3) using a
band saw, so the wood will accept the spur
center and the live center.

that you do not split the workpiece. Never use

a steel face hammer and never drive the
workpiece onto the spur center while it is
mounted in the Lathe spindle.

4. Make sure the headstock is locked to the Lathe
bed.

5. Clean the tapered end of the spur center and
the inside of the headstock spindle.

6. Insert the tapered end of the spur center (with
the attached workpiece) into the headstock
spindle.

7. Support the workpiece while bringing the
tailstock into position about 1” away from the
end of the workpiece. Lock the tailstock to the
bed.

Figure 10-4

8. Advance the tailstock spindle with the
handwheel in order to seat the live center into
the workpiece. Use enough pressure to secure
the workpiece between the centers so that it
won’t fly off, but do not use excessive pressure.

9. Tighten the spindle locking handle.

Figure 10-3

3. Drive the spur center about 1/4” into the
workpiece, using a wood mallet or dead blow
hammer as shown in Figure 10-4. Be careful

The tailstock ram is

capable of exerting excessive pressure
against the workpiece and the headstock.
Apply only sufficient force with the tailstock
to hold the workpiece securely in place.
Excessive pressure can overheat center
bearings and damage both workpiece and
Lathe.

10. Move tool support into position. It should be
parallel to the workpiece, just below the
centerline and approximately 1/8" to 1/4" from
the corners of the workpiece to be turned, as in
Figure 10-5. Tighten support base to Lathe bed.

11. Rotate workpiece by hand to check for proper
clearance.

12. Start lathe at lowest speed and bring it up to the
appropriate RPM for the size of workpiece
used. Consult digital readout on the headstock.

18

Figure 10-5

10.3.2 Cutting techniques

Roughing out

1. Begin with a large roughing gouge. Place the
tool on the tool support with the heel of the tool
on the surface to be cut.

2. Slowly and gently raise tool handle until cutting
edge comes into contact with the workpiece.

3. Beginning about 2” from the tailstock end of the
workpiece, roll the flute (hollowed-out portion)
of the tool in the direction of the cut. See Figure
10-6. Make long sweeping cuts in a continuous
motion to rough the piece down to a cylinder.

Beads

1. Make a parting cut for what is to be a bead to
the desired depth. Place the parting tool on the
tool support and move tool forward to make the
full bevel of the tool come into contact with the
workpiece. Gently raise handle to make cut to
the appropriate depth.

2. Repeat for other side of the bead.

3. 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
direction of cut.

Coves

1. Use a spindle gouge. 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. See Figure 10-7. Stop

at the bottom; attempting to go up the
opposite side may cause the tool to catch.

2. Move the tool over the desired width of the
cove.

3. With the flute facing the opposite direction,
repeat step 1 for other side of cove. Stop at
bottom of cut.

Figure 10-6: roughing out

4. Keep as much of the bevel of the tool as
possible in contact with the workpiece to ensure
control and avoid catches. NOTE: Always cut
down-hill, or from large diameter to small
diameter. Always work toward the end of a
work-piece, never start cutting at the end.

5. Once the workpiece is roughed down to a
cylinder, smooth it with a large skew. 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).

6. Add details to the workpiece with skew, parting
tool, scraper or spindle gouge.

Figure 10-7: coves

"V" Cuts

1. Use the long point of the skew. (NOTE: Do not
press the long point of the skew directly into the
workpiece to create the "V"; this will result in a
burned or burnished "V" with fibers being rolled
up at both sides.)

2. Lightly mark the center of the "V" with the tip of
the skew.

3. Move the point of the skew to the right half of
the desired width of your cut.

4. With the bevel parallel to the right side of the
cut, raise the handle and push the tool in to the
desired depth, as shown in Figure 10-8.

19

Figure 10-8: V-cuts

5. Repeat from the left side. The two cuts should
meet at the bottom and leave a clean "V" cut.

6. Additional cuts may be taken to add to either the
depth or width of the cut.

Parting Off

1. Use parting tool.

2. Adjust lathe speed to lower RPM for parting
through a workpiece.

3. Place tool on tool support and raise the handle
until it starts to cut and continue to cut toward
the center of the workpiece.

4. Loosely hold on to the piece in one hand as it
separates from the waste wood.

10.3.3 Sanding and Finishing

Leaving clean cuts will reduce the amount of
sanding required. Move the tool support out of the
way, adjust the lathe to a low speed, and begin with
fine sandpaper (120 grit or finer). Coarser
sandpaper will leave deep scratches that are difficult
to remove, and dull crisp details on the spindle.
Progress through each grit without skipping grits (for
example, do not jump from 120 grit to 220 grit). Fold
the sandpaper into a pad; do not wrap sandpaper
around your fingers or the workpiece. To apply a
finish, the workpiece can be left on the lathe.

Turn off the lathe and use a brush or paper towel to
apply the finish. Remove excess finish before
restarting lathe. Allow to dry and sand again with
320 or 400 grit sandpaper. Apply second coat of
finish and buff.

10.4 Face plate and bowl turning

Face plate turning is normally done on the inboard
side of the headstock over the bed. Larger
workpieces must be turned on the outboard side
(remove tailstock and tool support base, and move
headstock to opposite end of bed).

10.4.1 Mounting stock

Use of a face plate is the most common method for
holding a block of wood for turning bowls and plates:

1. Select stock at least 1/8" to 1/4" larger than
each dimension on the finished workpiece.

2. Always select the largest diameter face plate
that can be used for the workpiece to be turned.

3. True one surface of the workpiece for mounting
against the face plate.

4. Using the face plate as a template, mark the
location of the mounting holes on the
workpiece, and drill pilot holes of the
appropriate size. Face plates are drilled for No.
12 screws. (Phillips and square drive screws
will hold up better than slotted screws. Sheet
metal screws are case hardened with deeper
and sharper threads than wood screws.)

If the mounting screws on the face plate interfere
with the workpiece, a glue or waste block can be
used:

5. Make a block the same diameter as the face
plate, Figure 10-9. Both waste block and
workpiece should have flat surfaces for gluing.

6. Glue the block to the workpiece. Avoid using
brown paper or newspaper between the waste
block and workpiece. It may work fine if you are
using scrapers, but a slight catch with a bowl
gouge can separate the two.

NOTE: When using a waste block, be careful with
the adhesive you select. Dry workpieces can be
bonded with ordinary white or yellow glue but must
be clamped to ensure a good bond. Green
workpieces require cyanoacrylate type glue.

Figure 10-9: faceplate mounting

10.4.2 Faceplate or chuck?

While faceplates are the simplest, most reliable
method of holding a block of wood for turning,
chucks can also be used. As there are dozens of
chucks to choose from, the woodturner should first
consider all the different types of turning that will be
done, and read reports or discuss with other turners
who own chucks before making a decision.

20

A chuck is not a requirement, but is handy when
working on more than one piece at a time. Rather
than removing screws, you simply open the chuck
and change workpieces.

The most popular ones are four jaw scroll chucks
with a variety of jaws to accommodate different size
tenons. Most also come with a screw chuck as well.

10.4.3 Wood selection

Firewood is the cheapest, most widely available
stock to use while learning to turn bowls. Simply
waste wood for a while practicing turning
techniques. Develop skill with each tool before
attempting to make a finished piece. It is best to start
with dry wood, without worrying about drying or
distortion. Once turning becomes comfortable, try
green wood which cuts very easily. As the turner
gains experience, he or she will find extraordinary
grain and figure in the form of burls, crotches and
bark inclusions.

10.4.4 Checks and cracks

Green wood will check and crack. For best results,
leave logs in as long a length as you can handle. As
the material starts to dry, surface cracks will develop
on the ends of the log. Cut off two to three inches
and you should find good, sound wood. Also cut the
log in half along the pith to avoid having it in the
finished piece. Most checks radiate from the pith.

As you turn bowls from green wood, make sure you
maintain a consistent wall thickness throughout the
piece. Leaving a piece thick in some areas and thin
in others will cause the wood to dry unevenly and
promote checks and cracks.

10.4.5 Distortion

Distortion is a problem associated with turning
green wood. It will vary from one type of wood to the
next. Typically, fruitwoods tend to distort more than
others. It also varies with the time of year the tree
was cut and how the logs are stored.

10.4.7 Bowl Turning Techniques

To Shape Outside of Bowl:

1. Odd shaped burls, crotches and other irregular
shaped blanks require special preparation
before mounting in a chuck or onto a faceplate.
Remove the bark, if there is any, from what
appears to be the center of the top of the
workpiece.

2. Drive spur center into the top of the workpiece
with a mallet or dead blow hammer.

3. Slip the spur center into the headstock taper
and bring the tailstock with a live or ball bearing
center into position. Lock the tailstock to the bed
and advance the tailstock spindle in order to
seat the cup center into the workpiece. Tighten
the ram locking handle.

4. Turn workpiece by hand to ensure proper
clearance.

5. Start lathe at lowest speed and bring it up to the
maximum safe speed for the size of work to be
turned (see sect. 14.0). If the machine starts to
vibrate, lower the speed until vibration stops.

6. Rough out the outside of the bowl with the 1/2"
deep fluted bowl gouge, holding the handle of
the tool firmly against your hip. For best control,
use your whole body to move the gouge
through the workpiece.

7. As the bowl takes shape, work on the bottom
(tailstock end) to accomodate attaching a face
plate.

8. Turn a short tenon (about 1/8" long) the size of
the hole in the faceplate. See Figure 10-10. This
will allow centering the workpiece when the
faceplate is attached.

10.4.6 Tools for bowl turning

The deep fluted bowl gouge is the most essential
and versatile tool for most bowl and plate turning.
The bowl gouge is heavier and easier to control than
other types of gouges. It also allows removal of
wood much faster and with less vibration than other
gouges. Most average sized bowl work can be
accomplished with a 3/8" or 1/2" bowl gouge. A 1/4"
bowl gouge is best suited for smaller bowls and light
finishing cuts. Larger 3/4" and 1" bowl gouges are
only used for extremely large pieces.

Large domed scrapers can also be used to help
clean up the interior surfaces of bowls. A light touch
with the scraper slightly tilted will eliminate some of
the ridges occasionally left by an inexperienced
bowl gouge.

Figure 10-10

(NOTE: If you plan to use a chuck, turn a tenon
of the appropriate length and diameter to fit your
chuck.)

9. Stop the lathe, remove workpiece and attach
face plate or chuck (see sect. 10.4.1, Mounting
Stock).

The surfaces of faceplate

and workpiece should mount flush to each
other.

21

10. Finish turning the outside of bowl with 1/2" or
3/8" bowl gouge. Leave additional material at
base of bowl for support while turning interior.
This will be removed later.

To Shape Interior of Bowl:

1. Stop the lathe and move tailstock away. (You
may want to remove the center from the
tailstock to avoid bumping it with your elbow.)

2. Adjust tool support in front of the bowl just below
centerline, at a right angle to the lathe ways.

3. Rotate workpiece by hand to check clearance.

4. Face off top of bowl by making a light shearing
cut across the top of workpiece, from rim to
center.

5. Place 1/2" bowl gouge on tool support at center
of the workpiece with the flute facing top of
bowl. The tool handle should be level and
pointed toward the four o'clock position, as
shown in Figure 10-11.

Figure 10-11

6. Use the left hand to control cutting edge of
gouge, while right hand swings tool handle
around toward your body (Figure 10-11). The
flute should start out facing top of workpiece,
and rotate upward as it moves deeper into the
bowl to maintain a clean even curve. As the tool
goes deeper into the bowl, progressively work
out toward the rim. It may be necessary to turn
the tool support into the piece as you get deeper
into the bowl.

(NOTE: Try to make one, very 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.)

7. Develop 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 support to exterior to re­define bottom of bowl. (General rule of thumb:
the base should be approximately 1/3 the
overall diameter of the bowl).

8. Work the tight area around faceplate or chuck
with 1/4" bowl gouge.

9. Begin the separation with a parting tool, but do
not cut all the way through yet.

10.4.8 Sanding and finishing

1. Remove the tool support and adjust lathe speed
to approximately 500 RPM. High speed can
build friction while sanding and cause heat
check in some woods.

2. Begin with fine sandpaper (120 grit) and
progress through each grit, using only light
pressure. Coarser sandpaper tends to leave
deep scratches that are hard to eliminate. Use
power-sanding techniques to avoid concentric
sanding marks around your finished piece.
Avoid rounding over the rim and foot with
sandpaper; try to keep details crisp. Finish
sanding with 220 grit.

3. Remove sanding dust with tack rags or
compressed air and, with lathe turned off, apply
first coat of finish. Let stand for several minutes,
wipe off excess. Allow to dry before sanding
again with 320 or 400 grit sandpaper.

4. Turn lathe back on and continue the separation
cut almost all the way through the base. Stop at
about 3" and use a small fine tooth saw to
separate the bowl from the waste.

5. Apply second finish coat and allow to dry before
buffing.

11.0 User-maintenance

Before doing maintenance on

the Lathe, disconnect it from the electrical
supply by pulling out the plug or switching off
the main switch. Failure to comply may cause
serious injury.

Maintenance on the PM2014 Lathe should be
performed at periodic intervals to ensure that the
machine is in proper working order, that all fasteners
are tight, and all necessary adjustments have been
made. Frequency of inspection will of course
depend upon how often the machine is used.

Some specific areas of attention:

Remove foreign matter from bed, faceplate and
spindle nose with a cleaner-degreaser.

Wipe a light coat of SAE10 oil on the lathe bed so
that headstock, tailstock and tool support base will
slide easily. Clean any rust spots that may develop
on the bed with a commercial rust remover.

Extend the tailstock quill and wipe on a light coat of
SAE10 oil with a soft rag. Avoid getting oil inside the
quill where the center is inserted.

Use compressed air or a vacuum in the headstock
interior, in order to keep sawdust and chips from
accumulating on belts and sheaves. CAUTION:

Wear safety glasses when using compressed
air.

Also blow off debris that accumulates on the
inverter. Do NOT disassemble inverter to clean.

Frequently clean out the tapers on both headstock
and tailstock. Commercially available taper cleaners
may be acquired from tool stores.

Check belt for wear or hard spots and replace as
required. Verify alignment of belt sheaves.

Check tightness of headstock, tailstock, and tool
rest when locked to bed. Make adjustments as
needed.

11.1 Additional servicing

Any other servicing should be performed by an
authorized service representative.
