User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used in making wood turned pens
Answer:	It comes with the pieces to be able to perform all the functions that it displays, yes, however the size is on such a small scale that you are putting way more effort into trying to use this than you are getting out of it. This wasn't good for anything that I purchased it for, and isn't adaptable to larger scale pieces. Doesn't have a lot of power at all to perform any of the 'tasks' it boasts to accommodate.
Question:	can the chuck take 1/4 inch metal rod
Answer:	Don't buy from this company. The lathe they sent was very poorly made and we had an awful time returning it. Amazon had to get involved.
Question:	Is the chuck removable and if so, what is the diameter of the drive shaft
Answer:	It came with 1 tool
Question:	How is this machine cnc? is there a data port or card slot
Answer:	No, it doesn't. Actually I returned it unopened after buying it for this very reason. They were very understanding and refunded the full amount. As the description says it works well with "Plastic and Wood" but not metal.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have a chuck that is 1"-8tpi female thread (nova 48111), it doesn't fit on this lathe. what adapter should i buy
Answer:	Buy a 3/4" 16 TPI to 1" 8 TPI adapter. If you further questions go to http://www.woodturningz.com/downloads/w1704_ds.pdf for the specs on this machine.
Question:	is there an adapter for the face plate for mounting live center chucks? I bought one but won't line up with holes
Answer:	I'm not sure if they make the adapter to mount on the face plat. I have a 2" diameter three jaw,self centering scroll type chuck that i bought from Amazon that ihave used that works great,but i think that the holes in the face plate is for mounting a backing block to the piece of wood stock to turn a bowl. It says in the manual that you glue the block to the wood your turning and use the holes to screw the block on to face plate. Hope this helped.
Question:	What size wood stock can it hold? How about something like 12'' long by 8" wide piece of wood
Answer:	The length it will hold will be dependant upon what chucks you have in the head and tail stock. The bulkier the chucks, the shorter the length it will handle. I'd say it will hold 12" lengths unless your chucks are sizable. I wouldn't try more than 4" width stock unless it was short. Although the lathe may hold the stock, it would be too much for the motor. The intended purpose of this lathe is to make small things like ink pens, Christmas ornaments, small toys like tops or yo-yo's and tool handles etc. If you want to mount 12" X 8" stock you should be looking at full sized lathes.
Question:	is there anyway to secure to a bench
Answer:	Yes. It has has three holes in the base that you can bolt it down with. I bolted mine down on a metal stand. It holds it down real solid. Mine is the Shop Fox W1704 also. It is well built. I really like mine. Hope this helps!

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the headstock have a morse taper and also the tailstock
Answer:	Yes they are both #2 taper
Question:	Does this lathe have a 1 inch 8tpi
Answer:	yes
Question:	Does Rikon or another manufacturer make a steady rest for this lathe
Answer:	Carter products and Ron Brown's Best (Peacetree), make steady rests suitable for. 10 inch lathes. Carter Products is about $375 and Ron Brown's Best is about $160. I believe either can be adapted to Rikon 105, 10" lathe.
Question:	can a veriabule speed drive add to this lathe
Answer:	You can buy a conversion kit from Penn State. It comes with a new motor and electronics. Note that the lowest speed is 650 vs 500 RPM which is faster that recommended if you use Cole Jaws.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you add an extendion table on it to turn long spindel legs
Answer:	Yes! You just can't buy it on amazon..rockler and woodcraft sell them for around $150.
Question:	Is it a Morse taper
Answer:	Yes both the head stock and tail are #2
Question:	what is needed with this lathe for pen turning
Answer:	Basically, you will need a 7mm MT2 mandrel and your tools. When you order your pen kits, make sure you get the bushings and drill bit. Depending on how you finish the pens, you may need a buffing system. For acrylics, get a set of micro pads, they really bring the shine out. I also use a "french polish" and shellac to put a lasting hard coat on the finished product. Good luck and enjoy the lathe.
Question:	what is the thread size on the head stock
Answer:	Headstock Spindle Thread is 1" x 8 TPI.Complete data sheet is here:http://content.jettools.com/assets/manuals/719100_man_EN.pdf

Question:	Are these blanks marked with the species of wood for people who are not familiar with wood types yet
Answer:	No, but the names are in the description So you can type it in on your internet device and you will get pictures. It is very obvious what wood is what. For instance the walnut is very dark. Zebra wood has dark markings throughout, stripe like. The Purple Heart is well, sorta dark red/purple. Shapeless is a lighter medium brown. Hope this helps.
Question:	Can these fit any pen since some pens are bigger than others
Answer:	We wouldn't go so far to say that they'll fit "any" pen kit, but they should be thick enough and long enough to fit most kits that are out there. Thanks for asking!
Question:	How long is each blank
Answer:	They are at least 5" long and a minimum of 3/4 by 3/4 square. Thanks
Question:	would these be suitable to make a cutting board? How many packs would i need
Answer:	The answer is yes but it may be difficult the blanks are only 5 inches long. The blanks are a consistent size so it can be done I think a stagger pattern might work. 2 or 3 packs may work depending how large of cutting board you want to make. Also I would check http://www.wood-database.com/ at the types of wood to see if they are suitable for a cutting board.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do i need to have a high speed bench grinder or slow speed

Question:	What type of grinding wheel should I use to sharpen these chisels, being made with M2 High Speed Steel

Answer:	You can find replacement blades on Amazon. search for Yufutol carbide blades and they have multiple listings. just make sure you are replacing your blades with the same size your tools came with.
Question:	Can they work on brass or aluminum
Answer:	Carbide is used to machine alloy steel, so it should go right throught aluminum or brass. These inserts are designed for wood though, so they may not be ground to the best angle for soft metal. You may not get the finish you desire

User questions & answers

Question:	Inch beading tool"? 9/34" seems like an unusual size. Did they mean 9/32" or 9/64"? How big is it really
