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.
