The turning device is a compact woodworking unit with simple controls. The equipment can be installed in a small room, which is important for home workshops.
Appointment
The process of wood processing on a lathe is the turning of a rotating wooden workpiece with a cutter. Various products are machined on the unit: from simple shanks of a trench tool to balusters of a complex configuration. The Jet JWL-1220 is capable of processing hardwood workpieces. You can grind various crafts and furniture details of a cylindrical shape.
The unit performs the following operations:
- side surface turning;
- trimming with rounded ends;
- creation of axial holes with an installed drill;
- creating a concentric relief on flat wood parts.
Advantages
The woodworking unit has several advantages:
- the turning unit is equipped with a powerful electric motor;
- high spindle speeds allow the engine to withstand quite large loads;
- management is available even to a beginner. You can learn to work on the machine in a few hours;
- light weight and dimensions provide high mobility;
- an emergency engine stop button is installed in the immediate vicinity of the employee’s hands;
- after an emergency power outage, the switch will not resume the operation of the machine when the voltage is restored in the network;
- separately, you can purchase a bed extension, which significantly expands the working area;
- the machine can be used as desktop equipment. Instead of a workbench, sometimes the bed is mounted on supporting legs;
- retractable staples are installed on the sides of the bed, holding it is convenient to move the turning equipment to the right place;
- choice of 6 spindle speeds - from 400 to 3300 rpm;
- a cast-iron bed gives stability to the unit and successfully dampens vibration.
Machine design description
- The bed is made of cast iron. The working polished area has a longitudinal groove along which the tailstock tailstock and the handrail carriage move.
- The headstock is stationary. Inside the housing are the spindle drive pulleys.
- Several pulleys inform the spindle of 6 idle speeds - from 400 rpm to 3300 rpm.
- The upper housing cover allows access to the pulleys. Through the lower aperture, the lever loosens the belt tension and throws it at the top onto the desired pulley. Then pull the lever with the belt.
- An electric motor connected by a belt drive to the spindle drive pulleys is installed at the bottom of the bed.
- The position of the handcuff and the right headstock (pinole) is fixed by the long arms.
- The handheld support panel can be pushed up and rotated around its axis.
- On the right side at the bottom of the machine housing is a switch equipped with a safety cover to protect against children.
- The distance between the centers of attachment of the workpiece is 510 mm.
- In order to be able to process a longer workpiece, a bed extension is connected from the side of the pin, which allows to grind a bar with a length of up to 1200 mm.
- All moving parts of the turning installation are equipped with convenient clamps - reliable swinging levers.
- The backlight is mounted in the machine body. The lamp is mounted on a flexible holder. It can illuminate the work area from above or below (in contrasting light).
- The faceplate allows you to process planar blanks.
