NOVA DVR 2024 Lathe Features at a glance

DVR Electronic drive
The Nova DVR lathes are unique. The DVR incorporates the motor built as part of the headstock, the
spindle and motor are one unit. The motor is almost maintenance free and designed with high
reliability. The Digital Variable Reluctance motor uses smart motor technology to provide an
incredibly smooth and powerful drive. This drive takes turning to a new level. The controller monitors
the spindle position constantly and maintains spindle speed very closely. Additional power is added
as it senses extra load from the tool.

Add on Bed System

A lathe that meets your woodturning needs your workshop space, and your pocket! Each segment is 20" or 510mm in length. This
feature appeals for many different reasons:

As a compact lathe (standard configuration) it is great for small turning workshop spaces.

• As an extended lathe for those wanting to do extra long spindles (beyond the traditional between center of most lathes) the Nova DVR
2024 delivers big turning capacity.

• As a bowl lathe for those just wanting to turn bowls.

Sophisticated Swivel Head

Swivel head lathes have many advantages:

• Space saving

• Allows the turner (not the machine!) to decide the most comfortable position for your turning (saving you from backstrain)

• Elimination of left-hand ‘outboard’ turning techniques and no extra outboard chucks and faceplates are necessary.

There are a number of swivel head lathes available, but Nova DVR have by far the most sophisticated, accurate and easy to use swivel
head on the market.

The Nova DVR lathes can be easily and quickly swiveled to any position (360 degrees). It can be solidly locked in any position plus it has
the added security of a detent pin lock at 0,22.5,45,90 degrees plus 315 (for left-hand use).
The swivel head turns, locks easily and has a very accurate detent position, to lock the spindle in line with the tailstock. The combination of
rigid Tailstock construction and detent pin delivers superb accuracy and is unique to the Nova DVR .

Solid Construction

Well proven design, the Nova DVR 2024 is made from Cast Iron components for strength and rigidity. Added features like special webbed
bed design makes the lathe well equipped to take heavy turning stresses. The bed has been designed with vibration dampening qualities ­a solid 1/2" cross rib is positioned along the bed unit, quickly dissipating any vibration as it travels down the bed. The new powerful
trapezoidal bed design delivers even more vibration damping properties. All this combined with cosmeticall y appeali ng, smoot h fl owing
lines.

Cast iron has always been the material of choice for Woodlathe
construction for its inherent mass and an excellent modulus of
vibration.

Bed Extension Segment Main Bed Segment

New 10 Favourite Speeds Function

Pre-program your most favourite speeds for easy retrieval.

Trapezoidal Bed Design

Powerful with smooth flowing lines, Nova bed design delivers even more vibration dampening propert i es.

New Headstock Design

One piece design increases strength and vibration dampening properties. Micro analysed for optimum design. Same popular swivel
headstock as used in the older DVR and 3000 Lathe models, saves strain on your back.

Adaptive Control Software

Smart adaptive computer technology actually measures the weight of the work piece and adjusts its performance accordingly.

Safety Sensing Feature

Intelligent DVR computer controller senses abnormal turning conditions e.g. a chisel dig in or index left engaged – and instantaneously
shuts down power to the spindle. Normal safety precautions would still apply – see pages 7-8.

Energy Efficient

Unlike other ‘dumb’ electric motors, the Smart DVR Motor only inputs enough power to maintain the set speed – giving you potential for
power savings over conventional motors.

Wide Speed Range

100-5000 rpm, easy push button speed change.

DVR Direct Drive Motor

Driven by unique Direct Drive Variable Reluctance Motor Technology, with superior performance over AC or DC motors. Proven
technology, many thousands of users. No power loss through belts or transmission. Provides digital electronic push button variabl e speed
with no belt changes.

Ultra Smooth Cutting Power

Selected RPM is closely maintained and the DVR has no belt stretch or motor bounce which affects smooth cutting. The DVR motor runs
smooth with almost no vibration.

5 Year Warranty (limited)

On all castings, mechanical parts and components. 2 Year Warranty on all electronics and electrical components.

Plug and Play

Just bolt to stand or bench, plug it in and you are turning! No complex motor set ups or adjustments.

Low Mantainence

The motor is simple, brushless with no rotor windings (rotor is solid steel). The indust rial grade elect roni cs are bui lt to last. There are no
drive pulleys or belts to set up or come loose.

5. WHEN REPLACING THE FUSE (on relevant
models), completely isolate power when removing
the fuse. It is im perative the plug is removed from
the mains supply before the fuse is r em oved.
Replace fuse cap before reconnecting to mains.

6. DVR ; Do not open the switch and rear covers.
Components can carry dangerous volt ages even
when isolated from m ains power.

7. DVR ; Always ensure spindle fixtures (e.g.
faceplates etc) are locked to spindl e in case
spindle reverse is en gaged. Otherwi se they will

unwind from spindle. See "Mounting a Faceplate to
a chuck" section.

8. WHEN SPINDLE REVERSE IS ENGAGED DO
NOT USE CHISELS OR CUTTING TOOLS - USE
FOR SANDING ONLY

9. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Do not turn the
lathe on before clearing the lathe of all objects
(tools, scraps of wood, etc.). Keep the nearby area
and floor clear of debris.

10. CHECK SET-UP with spindle O ff. Examine the
set-up carefully and rotate the work piece by hand
to check clearance and check speed is correctly
selected before turning on spindle.

11. DO NOT MAKE ADJUSTMENTS when the lat he
or work piece is turning. Make all adjustments with
power Off.

12. TIGHTEN ALL CLAMP HANDLES on the
headstock, tailstock, and toolrest before operating
lathe.

13. EXAMINE WORK PIECE and glue joints before
turning to make sure it has no defects that would
cause it to break when turning.

14. DVR ; ALWAYS CHECK CORRECT SPEED IS
SELECTED BEFORE SWITCHING ON SPINDLE

15. USE LOWEST SPEED when tur ning a new or
unbalanced work piece.

16. TURN AT RECOMMENDED SPEED. Always
operate the lathe at the recommended speeds.
Consult this manual for suggested speeds.

17. ADJUST TOOLREST close to the work piece.
Before turning, r evolve the stock by hand to make
sure it clears t he rest. At intervals, stop the lathe
and readjust the toolrest.

18. KEEP TOOL ON TOOLREST. The lathe t ool or
chisel should be on the toolrest before the lathe is
turned On. Tools should remain on the toolrest
whenever the tool is engaged in contact with the work
piece REMOVE TOOLREST when sanding or
polishing so fi ngers do not get pinched.

19. USE CORRECT LATHE TOOLS. Do not use spindle
turning chisel s for faceplate mou nted work, and vice
versa. Spindle turning tools used f or faceplate
mounted work may grab the work piece and pull the
chisel from your control.

20. WHEN ROUGHING STOCK do not jam the lathe tool
or chisel into wor k piece or take too big a c ut.

21. DO NOT POUND WORK PIECE into headstock drive
(spur) center w hen turning between centers. Pound
the drive center i nto the work piece with a soft mallet
before installing it between center s in the lathe.

22. DO NOT USE TAILSTOCK to drive wor k piece into the
drive (spur) center when turning betw een centers.
Secure work between centers with light pressure fr om
the tailstock quill action.

23. FASTEN STOCK SECURELY BETWEEN CENTERS.
Make sure the tailstock is locked bef ore turning on the

24. NEVER LOOSEN TAILSTOCK SPINDLE or tailstock
while work piece is turning.

25. CORRECT USE OF FACEPLATE. When faceplate
turning, make sure work piece is s ecurely fastened to
the faceplate and t hat appropriate size faceplate is
used to support the work piece. Any screw fasteners
must not interfere with the turning tool at the finished
dimension of the work piece. Rough-cut the work piece
as close as possible to finished shape before installing
on faceplate.

26. DO NOT OPERATE LATHE IF DAMAGED OR
FAULTY. If any part of your lathe is missing, damaged
or broken, in any way, or any electrical component fails,
shut off the lat he and disconnect the l athe from the
power supply. Replace missing, dama ged, or failed
parts before resuming operation.

Setting Up Your Workshop

Workshop Requirements

Consideration Recommendation

Lathe location Locate the Nova DVR 2024 close to a power source in an area with

good lighting. Leave enough clearance on all sides of the lathe;
allow for clearance when the headstock is swiveled. Other
machines in your shop should not interfere with the operation of the
lathe.

Lighting Your shop should have adequate lighting. The work area of the

lathe should be well lit; there should not be shadows cast on your
work. If possible, locate near a window. A portable spotlight may
be helpful.

Electrical The Nova DVR 2024 requires the appropriate power outlet nearby

to power the motor. Wiring and outlets should adhere to local
electrical codes. If in doubt, seek advice from an electrician.
Minimize use of extension cords. See "Connecting to power" section
for Surge Protector requirements.

Ventilation Your shop should be adequately ventilated. The degree of

ventilation will vary based on the size of the shop and the amount of
work done. The use of dust collectors and filters will minimize risks
to your health.

and run over the join until the 'railroad clacking' sound disappears.

Each cast iron extension bed adds 510mm (20in.) to the lathe's capacity to turn between centers.

1. Ensure that the bed pieces are flat and the two faces of the bed (which are to be mated) are

clean, free of any burrs and dents.

Note: The end of the extension bed with no feet should be mated to the lathes end face.

2. Place the add on bed extension close to the

lathes end face, align the holes and screw
on the four M12 cap screws (with one spring
washer and flat washer on each)
four tapped holes with the help of the 10mm

Do NOT fully tighten the
cap screws at this stage,
but tighten enough so that
the add on bed extension
is secured

into the

3. Move the tailstock over the two joining extension

beds (tailstock approximately covering equal
length on either extension). Lock the tailstock
firmly over the joining faces

4. Now, use the 10mm Allen key to fully tighten all four cap screws. The torque required is approximately

5. Check that the tailstock runs smoothly over the mating joint, and also over the

full length of the extension. Although all components manufactured by
Teknatool International are made to closest possible tolerances, it is possible
for a difference of approximately 0.1mm to put the bed 'out of true'. The
tailstock can bind in any given area in two possible ways:

A) Jamming between slides (inside the wall of the bed)
Using a smooth flat file, run over the area a few times until the
tailstock frees itself. To maintain central running of the tailstock,
both sides must be filed evenly.

B) The Tailstock clips or appears to jump over the join
The machined flat surfaces may not be quite flush. Use a flat file

For safety reasons please carefully read and understand these instructions.

The Nova Cast Iron Stand was designed to fit and be used only for Nova Lathes. Use of the stand on
other lathes could void the warranty, and risk personal injury.

The Nova Cast Iron Stand set comprises of two cast iron legs, one on either side, with skirt fastening
holes facing the user. The Stand pieces are cast from a high grade of cast iron with extremely good
section thickness and CAD generated internal gussets at all critical points to withstand extremely high
stresses with practically no distortion. Cast iron has always been the material of choice for wood lathe
construction because of its inherent mass and excellent modulus of vibration dampening.

Suggested Tools for
Assembly

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY: The stand and lathe elements are heavy, please ensure correct lifting techniques and equipment are
used and have someone to assist. Use correct tools and observe recommended practices.

1. Open the cardboard box and identify the parts
against the parts lists provided (above)

2. Stand the two legs uprig ht fac ing each other at
approximately the same distance apart as the
length of the lathe. The Stand legs will stand
upright on their two feet, although not very
stable, but this is enough to carry out the

3. For this step you will need a second person
and a table, saw horses or workshop bench of
suitable height. (If the table is not high enough
then you may need to put blocks underneath).
With the help of a second person, move the
lathe from the box and up to the bench or onto
the saw horses. It may be easier to cut the
box away in order to prevent any dangerous
loading on your back.

Notes:

• Check the tailstock is securely fastened by

tightening the lock arm.

Once the following checks have been made the
headstock and the tailstock can be used to assist in

4. Move the lathe on the bench so that the
tailstock end is overhanging and accessible.
Attach the legs sloping to the right on this
end. Drop the M12 x 50 hex bolts through the
holes and then fasten underneath with the
washer and nut.

5. Next do the headstock end. Note that the left
most fastenings are inserted upward into two
blind holes into the lathe bed.

6. Now, with the help of a marker, mark the position for
drilling holes into concrete floor for securing the
construction bolts. On the feet of the Stand legs,
there are two holes , one is an M12 tap ped hole for
the jacking bolts, the other is a pla in 14mm hole f or
the construction bolts. T he position for construction
bolts has not been shown in the exploded view.

7. Once the hole posit ions ha ve be en marked, shift the
lathe aside and ins tall the construction bolts. Ref er
to your supplier on the size of drill recom m ended f or
the construction bolts you bu y.

8. Lift and position the complete unit over these
construction bolts. Tighten all nuts firmly.

9. Install all M12x30mm bolts (part 2) for jacking as
shown in the exploded view in the M12 tapped holes
on each of the feet of the Stand legs.

10. Level the lathe bed with the help of the above
jacking bolts with the help of a spirit level.

11. Once the lathe has been le veled tig hte n all
construction bolts firmly.

Re-inspect to ensure all fasteners are firmly secured

The Cast Iron stand has provision for customer shelving between the legs under the lathe. The exac t len gth of
the shelf will depend on how the legs have been setu p and adjusted .

If thicker wood is used, the edges of the shelf ends m ay need to
be relieved to allow the shelf to fit into the leg castings.

For the bottom shelf there
are example dimensions
below.

It is recommended that the
shelf has a cutout along the
front edge to enable free foot
movement around the lathe.

Connecting to Power

The power cord should be 3-wire, having a groundi ng c onduc tor and a gro unding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local electrical codes.

Warning!

Improper connection of the motor can result in a risk of electrical shock.

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, the cord should be grounded. Use the correct wire size for the
extension cord, for a given cord length, to avoid power loss and over-heating.

 IMPORTANT: A Surge Protection Device rated to at least 15 amps - for USA and Canada, other

countries 10 or 15 amps - must be used to protect the DVR electronics from electrical spikes or
surges, similar to those used on most Home PC's.

Note: Ground Fault Interrupters (GFI's) are generally not compatible with Variable speed motors. If you
wish to use a GFI or RCD select a unit that is confirmed for use with a Variable speed motor using
capacitor charge. The Machine must be connected to a suitable ground outlet.

116-0712-006

You may wish to change the stabilization setting from time to time depending on the type of work piece

you are working on. You have 3 options preset for you:

1. SOFT: For light work at speeds lower than 500 rpm

2. NORMAL: Suitable for most work and is the default setting

3. HARD: For heavy and/or ‘out-of-balance’ work at speeds lower than 500 rpm
a) Press <OFF> if necessary.
b) Press <PROGRAM> (ke y #6 on diagram). The stabilization setting will be displayed. The default setting is

NORMAL.
c) Press <SELECTOR> ( key # 7 on diagram) to toggle between the 3 options as mentioned above.

NOTE: Pressing <MODE> (key #8 on diagram) allows the user to change the parameter settings in
more detail. This breaks it down into Proportional (Kprop) and Integration (Kint) settings which make up
the PID control of the DVR. The 3 options of SOFT, NORMAL and HARD have been preprogrammed
for your convenience and are balanced for optimum output. To clear special settings and return to
default --- switch off computer at the master switch.

d) Press <OFF> button to return to ready state. (Ready to start mode).

While the machine is running if you push Program (6) the screen will display various diagnostics. Operation of
the machine is not effected. Each time mode is pressed a different screen will show. This area is only used for
advanced programming functions. Press OFF to return to ready state.

Turning Tips

The Nova DVR Drive technology is not just a variable speed motor - its smart motor technology takes turning to
a new level. The speed, vibration and load sensing, work with the conditions and turning. The machine will
reward skilled turning with exceptional finish conditions. There is often no need for sanding. As you apply load
(chisel pressure or depth of cut) the control will sense the change in spindle conditions and compensate
accordingly. Get a feel of the communication between yourself and the motor turning by applying increasing
force. The motor will respond by applying increased power to exactly maintain speed.

LOW SPEEDS 100-350: Select Hard Mode (see Special and Parameter settings)
Note – at low speeds 100- 350 rpm control of the chisel is important. At 250 rpm the motor still has good torque

(in fact the torque is more or less the same as at 400 or 1000 – but at low speeds there is a difference , the
DVR is a unique type of motor in that the control only supplies enough power to maintain the spindle at the
commanded speed. It needs to sense the load from the chisel and then it will apply power as needed. At very
low speeds the chisel can move fast compared with the rotation of the wood. The important thing is to have
good control of the chisel and maintain steady cuts (using the same woodturning practices that produce quality
cuts and finishes). In this way surprisingly heavy cuts can be achieved. However, rapid or incautious use of the
chisel will be immediately sensed by machine and spindle will shut down and then automatically try a restart.

“Will The Machine Shut Down on Interrupted Cuts?”

No, as long as the cut is within the normal range of Woodturning cuts. An interrupted cut at slow rpm may
cause a loss of control of the chisel and a dig in may occur.

A way to understand chisel feed rates is to consider that at 100 rpm, the work piece has only rotated about 1
and a half turns in one second and at 250 rpm, 4 turns. Considering that chisel feed or movement under
normal turning can be anything between say 5 and 100mm per second at normal Woodturning turning speeds.
At very low rpms it is easy to move the chisel too fast for good cutting conditions. In general, low rpm is only
used for special processes or conditions. Speeds below 350 are generally not Woodturning speeds. The
machine will operate down to 100 rpm but this is generally for applying finishes and other applications.

5. A vee groove is provided in the spindle

for a special locking grub screw that is
used in conjunction with Nova chucks
and accessories to prevent unwinding
during reverse operations. Wind in the
side-locking grub screw and lock firmly
in place, without over tightening.

-23-

116-0712-006

Warning!

It is important that all Chucks and
Faceplates that are used on the DVR
spindles have a side-locking function.

Warning!

When installing or removing the Faceplate or
Chuck from the spindle, the side-locking grub screw
MUST be completely removed.

Some older Teknatool products may not
have a side-locking function. If any of these
products are intended to be used on the
DVR spindle they will need to undergo a
modification to include the side-locking
function or new products purchas ed with a
side-locking function. All spindle mounted
products produced by Teknatool
International for the DVR Lathe have side­locking functions*.

The side-locking function should be used
at all times while running the chuck on the
spindle during operation. Without this
function engaged the Chuck or Faceplate
may unwind from the spindle during
operation.

Using a spur center

This avoids any potential damage to the spindle
that the grub screw may cause if it were not
completely removed, when winding the Faceplate
or Chuck on or off the spindle.

*Exception 1. When an ILNS insert is used with a
FP150Z faceplate on the DVR 2024 or a Spindle
adaptor, the insert or adaptor must be locked onto
the faceplate to avoid it unwinding when the spindle
is run in reverse. Loctite 272 Thread locker is
recommended.

*Exception 2. Customers with dedicated threaded
Teknatool chucks who intend using the chuck on
the DVR 2020 Spindle must have a side-locking
function adapted to the chuck before running it.
Chucks with M33 threads may apply for Europe.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The Index Pin is designed for indexing and not for
leveraging against, when removing faceplates,
inserts and chucks. For this we recommend holding
the spindle using the operating bar through the 2
LHB holes (Left Hand Brake).

Mount the spur center to the work
piece as shown and then insert the
spur center and work piece into the
headstock spindle.

Warning!

Do not pound work piece into
headstock drive center when
turning between centers or you
may damage the headstock.

To remove the center, insert a 10mm
(3/8-inch) diameter wooden dowel or
steel rod through the headstock spindle
hole. While holding the center so it
doesn’t fall, tap it out.

Toolrest

To move the Toolslide along the bed,
loosen the Toolslide Clamp Handle,
move the slide to the desired position,
and tighten the clamp handle.

To adjust the Toolrest, loosen the
Toolrest Clamp Handle, position the
Toolrest, and tighten the clamp handle.

Adjust the Toolrest close to the work
piece. Exact positioning may be varied
to suit the turner. Before turning,
revolve the stock by hand to make sure
it clears the rest. At intervals, stop the
lathe and readjust the Toolrest.

Warning!

Lathe tools and chisels should
remain on the Toolrest
whenever the tool is in contact
with the work piece.
Remove the Toolrest wh en

Correct selection of turning speeds is important for safety and finish cut quality
It is important to take into account the fixing of the work piece; it should be made as secure as possible.

Various techniques are available for this consult books on the subject and seek training opportunities.
There are safety and out of balance considerations. Aim for a good balance in turning speed, ensure good

fixing and try to balance timber as much as possible before installing on lathe.
In general wood likes being sliced and if too low a speed is used the timber can "hammer" against the cutting

tool, tearing fibers and imposing large forces on the tool and work piece. This can often be dangerous, it is best
to select a higher speed, the cut will be smoother and less force is imposed on the work piece. It can be
likened to a wood plane, if it is pushed very slowly much force is needed to break the fibers, if the plane is
pushed at a higher speed less forces are involved and a better cut results. Use 250 rpm when needed, but it is
better turning at 400-600 rpm.

Tailstock

Warning!

Never loosen the Tailstock Quill or
Tailstock while the work piece is
turning.

To move the Tailstock along the bed,
loosen the Tailstock Clamp Handle, slide
the tailstock to the desired position, and
tighten the clamp handle.

To move the Tailstock quill in or out, loosen
the Quill Lock and turn the Handwheel.
Lock the quill in place with the Quill Lock.

The Tailstock Quill accepts centers and
accessories with no. 2 Morse taper (#2
MT). To install a taper use a quick, firm
action by hand. Do not pound the taper in.

Quill Eject Direction

To remove a taper, either wind the quill into
the tailstock until the taper is ejected or
insert the operating bar through the
Tailstock Quill hole. While holding the taper
so it doesn’t fall, tap it out.

The Tailstock Quill is hollow, allowing you
to bore holes through turnings if a hollow

116-0712-006

-36-

Cleaning the Toolslide

If the Toolslide becomes hard to move and
adjust, cleaning and lubricating are required.

1. To make the Toolslide slide more freely

along the bed, make sure the bed rails are
clean. Apply some paste wax to the rails.

2. If the Toolslide is hard to move towards or

away from you, remove the Toolslide from
the lathe bed. Clean the Toolslide
Camshaft (hexagonal rod) with a
petroleum-based solvent. Lubricate the rod
with high quality grease.

3. Remove one of the plastic Hole Plugs on

the top of the Toolslide casting and align
the Cam Holder so its Oil Hole can be
accessed. Apply oil through the Toolslide
Casting into the Cam Holder Oil Hole.

4. Reassemble and slide the Toolslide back

onto the lathe bed.

Cleaning the Tailstock

If the Tailstock Quill becomes hard to use or the Hand whee l is hard to turn, cleaning and lubricating are
required.

1. Wind the Hand wheel until quill is free of the thread and can be removed from Tailstock.

2. Remove the M6 set screw from the Tailstock Hand Wheel. If necessary, turn the Hand wheel to

expose the set screw hole.

3. Using light force slide the Hand wheel from the Quill shaft. N ote light blo ws wit h a sof t mallet m a y

assist..

4. Remove the 4 M6 countersink screw retaining the thrust plate. Note! There is a special fiber thrust

washer on either side of the thrust plate.

3. Remove the quill from the Tailstock Body Casting.

4. Wipe cleans all parts including the inside of the tailstock .

5. Lubricate the Quill and tailstock slot with lightweight oil and apply a small amount of grease to the

threads inside the Quill and on the Quill Shaft.

6. Reassemble.

Aligning the Tailstock

width of each other

1. Crank the Hand wheel back so the quill is all the way in.

2. Place any #2 MT accessories you have that have a sharp point like a spur center, or live center in
the tailstock quill and another center in the headstock spindle.

 Note: Tailstock alignment can be made easier by using the double ended NOVA Acurline Accessory
Center (SKU: 2MTNA) in place of the centers.

3. Move the Tailstock close to the Headstock so the two centers nearly touch; check the alignment of
the center points. Move the Tailstock away from the Headstock and extend and lock the Quill. The
points of the centers should align when the Quill is halfway extended, fully extended, and fully retracted.

If the centers are aligned at all three locations no adjustment is necessary.

4. If the Tailstock does not meet the conditions in step 3, follow the steps below. This indicates that the
Tailstock is not parallel to the lathe bed and you will need to realign the Tailstock.

5. First make sure the Tailstock alignment plate (A) is not binding inside the bed. If the Tailstock
doesn't move freely, then remove the Tailstock and look for burrs or high spots on the bed rails or the
alignment plate (A). Using a smooth file remove any burrs or high spots. When done replace the
tailstock on the bed.

6. Slightly loosen the four cap screws (B) securing the tailstock ailment plates (A) with a 5mm Allen
wrench. Tap the Tailstock with a wooden mallet in the appropriate direction to align the centers. Check
and adjust the positioning of the Tailstock. The centers should align when the quill is halfway extended,
fully extended, and fully retracted, as previously described in step 3.

7. Lock the tailstock in place with the Tailstock Clamp Handle and fully tighten the four cap screws (B).
The cap screws (B) must be fully tightened in order to avoid slippage during work.

8. Check the alignment of the Tailstock by bringing it together with the Headstock, with the Live center
and Spur center in each spindle. The Points on the centers should be within 0.50mm (0.020") height and

Troubleshooting Guide

Problem Possible Cause and Solution
Excessive vibration.

Faceplate or chuck
running out of true.

Out of balance, or large work piece. Reduce lathe speed to the
lowest speed possible and turn the work piece to a true circle.
Adjusting the speed using the up / down keys will change the speed
in 10 rpm increments. If you try adjusting the speed up or down you
will find that it is easy to find speed points that will minimize vibration
and is one of the biggest advantages of DVR technology.

Work piece is not held in the center. Check work piece mounting and
correct.

Work piece is not secure or held tight enough. Check work piece
mounting.

Lathe incorrectly bolted to stand or bench. Refer to this manual for
lathe stand recommendations.

Stand or bench not well constructed, too light, or not level on the
floor. Make sure the stand is solidly constructed. Use sandbags to
weigh down the stand.

The metal floor stand should be Rawl bolted to the concrete floor, at
the 4 mounting hole points.

Dirt build-up on the rear of the faceplates or chuck. Clean off all
build-up and dirt. Faceplates and chucks must mount securely
against the inner bearing ring surface of the spindle.

Turning tools not sliding
smoothly across Toolrest.

Spur drive center or live
center not holding into the
spindle taper or quill taper
when turning.

Display screen not on

Damaged surface on Toolrest face caused by sharp edged tools.
File the Toolrest using a fine smooth file and polish with extra fine
sandpaper. Also remove the sharp edges from the corners of turning
tools.

Small end of Morse taper is damaged due to dropping or hitting. File
or polish away any damage. Check that inside of tapers have not
been scored.

Grease or oil inside of Morse tapers. Wipe clean the inside of the
tapers.

Insufficient pressure when installing the center. Use a quick, firm
action by hand to install a taper. Do not knock in using any solid
object.

Is master switch on? Toggle master switch to "ON" position.

Check machine is plugged into wall socket and switched on.

Check that the wall switch plug is live by plugging in another power
tool if the other power tool doesn't go check your board fuse.

Check the master fuse on the lower rear guard. Ensure machine
unplugged (see Additional safety rules at the front of this manual). If
blown, replace with the spare fuse that comes with the lathe. Do not
replace with a higher amp fuse.

<Flashing>

Press off button; switch off computer by master switch wait one
minute and switch on again. Check that the spindle index is not
engaged or that something is preventing the spindle from turning.
Note leaving the spindle index unit in will not harm the motor;
however it will put some strain on the index unit. It is likely that the
spindle index will be left in from time to time and the motor is
designed for this.

LCD screen shows

The optical sensors that give the spindle position feedback (‘Rotor
Position’ State) are obscured, damaged or have been disconnected.
Dust over a long period of time may have settled on the sensors.
Firstly spin the spindle by hand to create a draught through the
sensors. Re-try the motor. If the error remains, with the power
switched off and disconnected, remove the upper-rear guard and
remove any wood dust with a vacuum cleaner. Avoid getting the
nozzle too close to the electronics. After this step dust may fall into
the Headstock so suck the dust out through the vent at the front of
the Headstock under the spindle. Do this sequence a few times. Try
blowing if available with Vacuum or Air gun. Replace guard.

The computer has built in voltage condition and temperature
sensors, if this message appears, check the temperature of the lower
section of the headstock. If it is very hot, switch off the master switch
and leave the machine to cool down for a period. If the headstock is
relatively cool the computer may have detected an under and over
voltage from the mains power. Switch off and try rebooting. The DVR
has a high level of protection and is intelligently checking conditions
all the time.
