Sanding/Finishing

Whenever sanding or finishing on the Model 

W1704, remove the tool rest holder to increase 

personal safety and gain adequate working 

room.

To  remove  the  tool  rest  holder,  do  these 

steps:

1.  UNPLUG THE LATHE!

2.  Remove the tool rest from the holder, as 

shown in 

Figure 29.

3.  Using a 12mm socket or wrench, remove the 

lock nut (

Figure  30) that is located under 

the tool rest holder on the bottom side of 

the bed.

4.  Pull the tool rest holder off the bed and 

replace the lock nut on the threads, so that 

it does not get lost.

Wrapping  the  sandpaper 

completely  around  the 

workpiece, will pull your 

hands  into  the  moving 

workpiece and may cause 

injury.  Never  wrap  sand-

paper  completely  around 

the workpiece!
