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:	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:	Could you polish a crankshaft on it
Answer:	No work light, but this is a pretty amazing drill press. Easy enough to clip one one. The radial aspect of it makes it very versatile. You can drill much further towards center of a longer piece, the tilting head is much more accurate and easy to use than a tilting table. Needs to be secured to the floor pretty good. I made a base out of a half sheet of 3/4 plywood with 2 X 6 flat framing. I would not trade it for another. Had a few in the past, this one far exceeds any of them.
Question:	How wide of an item could you work with this system? Could you do the base of a small bowl with it
Answer:	I don't think it's supposed to be noisy?
Question:	Is it dificult to center
Answer:	It's about 3-1/2" with both nuts on. If you need more travel remove nuts and use a needle nose Visegrip.
Question:	I have an 8 inch drill press will it work on mine
Answer:	It is too top heavy with the radial head for free standing. I took a 1/2 sheet of 3/4 plywood, I "framed" it underneath with 2 x 6 laying flat, put a cross member where the front set of base bolts when and then bolted the base to the frame. This gave me a big enough base to keep it stable. Works great, I can slide the drill press aside when not using it.

Answer:	Yes they are both #2 taper
Question:	Does this lathe have a 1 inch 8tpi

Question:	Can you do aluminum

Question:	would this work in a fly cutter

Question:	what is the largest blank that can fit into the lathe
Answer:	This is a pen lathe and not useful as any thing else unless turning doll furniture. A 6 to 7 inch blank is about max
Question:	Does this lathe have forward and reverse controls
Answer:	No, it only spins in one direction. It only has an on/off switch and a variable speed control knob.
Question:	Is a pen mandrel included with lathe purchase
Answer:	It comes with a collet type mandrel. This is a very lightweight lathe with lots of speed, but not much torque. I found it a bit under powered. Suitable for most woods, but not for acrylics. This is not my primary lathe, but one that I can easily take when we are traveling in our motor home.
