12.Do not force tool. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was
designed.
13. Use correct tool. Do not force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
14. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry, and secure long hair
away from moving parts.
15.Remove chuck keys, rags, and tools. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to check that
all chuck keys and wrenches have been removed.
16. Avoid using an extension cord. But if you must use one, examine the extension cord to ensure it is
in good condition. Immediately replace a damaged extension cord. Always use an extension cord that
uses a ground pin and connected ground wire. Use an extension cord that meets the amp rating on
the motor nameplate. If the motor is dual voltage, be sure to use the amp rating for the voltage you
will be using. If you use an extension cord with an undersized gauge or one that is too long, excessive
heat will be generated within the circuit, increasing the chance of a fire or damage to the circuit.
17. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
18. Lock the mobile base from moving before feeding the workpiece into the machine.
19. Do not leave machine unattended. Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the
area.
20.Perform machine maintenance and care. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions
in the manual.
21.Keep machine away from open flame. Operating machines near pilot lamps or open flames creates
a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an ignition source may cause an explosion. Do not operate the machine in high-risk areas, including but not limited to, those mentioned
above.
SAFETY
22.If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the
machine! Then contact our technical support or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be
performed.
23.Be aware that certain materials may cause an allergic reaction in people and animals, especially
when exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know what type of material dust you will be exposed to
and the possibility of an allergic reaction.
24. Habits—good and bad—are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become
second-nature to you.

Cleaning the Lathe
The machined surfaces and other unpainted parts of your
6" x 10" Mini-Lathe are coated with a waxy grease that
protects them from corrosion during shipment. Clean
this grease off with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based
degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-based solvents such as
brake parts cleaner or acetone—if you happen to splash
some onto a painted surface, you will ruin the finish.
ALWAYS work in well-ventilated
areas far from possible ignition
sources when using solvents to
clean machinery. Many solvents
are toxic when inhaled or
ingested. Use care when disposing
of waste rags and towels to be
sure they DO NOT create fire or
environmental hazards.
SETUP
M1015 6" x 10" Mini-Lathe
NEVER use flammables such as gas or
other petroleum-based solvents to clean
your machine. These products have low
flash points and present the risk of
explosion and severe personal injury!

Machine Placement
• Work Surface Load: Your 6" x 10" Mini-Lathe
weighs approximately 64 lbs. and has a 19-3/4" x 4"
footprint. Considering the weight of the workpiece
and other tools on the table, make sure the work
surface can hold this total weight and the lathe is
high enough so you do not have to lean over while
using the machine.
• Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be processed
through the machine, and space for auxiliary stands,
work tables or other machinery when establishing a
location for your 6" x 10" Mini-Lathe (see Figure
• Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough and
positioned to eliminate shadow and prevent eye
strain.
• Electrical: Electrical circuits must be dedicated or
large enough to handle amperage requirements.
Outlets must be located near each machine, so
power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas. Follow local electrical codes for proper
installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

Auto and Manual Feed
The manual feed handwheel moves the carriage left or
right along the bed. This control is helpful when setting
up the machine for turning or when manual movement is
desired during turning operations (see Figure 19).
The feed clutch allows you to engage and disengage the
feed from automatic to manual feed (see Figure 20).
Note: Sometimes, when shifting the feed clutch knob
from manual to auto feed, you must turn the manual
feed handwheel slightly so the gear teeth will engage the
lead screw; otherwise a butt-tooth condition will exist
and the gears will grind when the lathe is started.

Setting RPM
To determine the needed cutting RPM, do these steps:
1. Use the table in Figure 21 to determine the cutting
speed required for the material of your workpiece.
Failure to follow RPM and feed rate guidelines may
threaten operator safety from ejected parts or broken tools.
2. Determine the final diameter, in inches, for the cut
you are about to take.
3. Use the following formula to determine the needed
RPM for your operation:
(Cutting Speed x 4)/Diameter of cut = RPM
4. When you are ready to cut, turn the speed dial to
your selected RPM (see Figure 22).
Note: For carbide cutting tools, double
the cutting speed. These values are a
guideline only. Refer to the MACHINERY'S HANDBOOK for more detailed information.

TPI and Gear Selection
The Model M1015 lathe can cut threads of 16, 18, 19, 20,
and 24 threads per inch (TPI). Below are instructions for
selecting the gear ratios to cut your needed thread TPI.
Z1
M1015 6" x 10" Mini-Lathe
W
Failure to follow RPM and threading guidelines may
threaten operator safety by ejecting parts or broken
tools.
To change gear ratios to cut threads, do these steps:
1. Determine the needed TPI.
2. Examine the gear ratio threading chart shown in
Figure 23, and select the needed gear ratios.
Note: In some TPI selections, gears on the shafts
are not meshed. These gears merely act as spacers
to press against the meshed gear. For example, in
the 16 TPI selection, the 24-tooth gear is acting as a
spacer to hold the 50-tooth gear. The lines between
the numbers indicate which gears mesh.
3. UNPLUG THE LATHE!
4. Remove the appropriate gear(s), and install the
selected gear(s). You must make sure that the gears
have a slight backlash (looseness) between all teeth
OPERATIONS
that mesh with each other. If a piece of note paper
can be fed between the meshed gear teeth, this gap
has sufficient backlash. Otherwise, the machine will
be noisy, and gear life will be reduced.

Note: In most cases it is necessary to move the gear
bracket so you can mesh the new gears together
with the correct backlash. Use a 4mm hex wrench to
loosen the gear bracket lock screw shown in Figure
24, and reposition the gear bracket.
5. Rotate the chuck by hand and observe the gearing
operation. Look for any problems with incorrect
backlash and meshing. Re-adjust as required.
6. If all is well, close the gearbox safety cover and
secure it shut.

Feed Rate and Gear
Selection
The Model M1015 lathe has two available feed rates which
move the apron 0.002" and 0.004" per each revolution of
the workpiece. These two feed rates will be sufficient for
general turning. Below are instructions for selecting the
gear ratios to achieve either feed rate. A slower feed rate
will give a better finish.
Failure to follow RPM and feed rate guidelines may
threaten operator safety by ejecting parts or broken
tools.

2. Examine the gear ratio feed chart shown in Figure
25, and select the needed gear ratios.
3. UNPLUG THE LATHE!

SERVICE
General
This section covers the most common service adjustments
or procedures that may need to be made during the life
of your machine.
If you require additional machine service not included
in this section, please contact Woodstock International
Technical Support at 360-7343482, or send e-mail to:
tech-support@shopfox.biz.
Cross Feed and Saddle
Backlash
The amount of backlash can be found by turning the
cross slide handwheel in one direction, and then turning
the handwheel the other direction. When the cross slide
begins to move, the backlash is indicated by the amount
of handwheel free movement before it begins to move
the cross slide. During the life of your lathe, you may find
it necessary to remove backlash that may develop in the
cross slide. This service check and adjustment also applies
to the saddle and manual feed handwheel.
To remove excessive backlash in the cross feed or
saddle, do these steps:
1. Loosen the gib screw jam nuts on the cross slide or saddle (see Figure 27).
2. Using a 2mm hex wrench in an alternating pattern,
carefully tighten the gib screws slightly until the
backlash is just removed. Do not overtighten the gib
screws or the ways and lead screws will wear prematurely.
MAKE SURE that your machine is
unplugged during all service procedures! If this warning is ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
