If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with all applicable codes and standards. Full-Load Current Rating The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On circuits with multiple machines, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations. Current Rating 12 Amps The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the machine could draw. If the machine is overloaded, it can draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating, If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result— especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the requirements in the following sections. A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-load current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D). AWARNING Electrocution, fire, or equipment damage’ may occur if machine is not correctly grounded and connected to the power supply ACAUTION For your own safety and protection of property, consult a qualified electrician if fou are ‘unsure about wiring practices or ctrical codes in your area, Note: The circuit requirements listed in this manual apply to a dedicated circuit. This machine should not be connected to a shared circuit where other machines might be running at the same time. Always consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the circuit is properly sized for safe operation. Grounding & Plug Requirements This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This machine is equipped with a power cord that, has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with green (or green-yellow) insulation is theequipment-grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal, Cheek with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one. Extension Cords We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. If you must use an extension cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis. Extension cords cause voltage drops, which may damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drops increase as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes). Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a ground wire, match the required plug and receptacle, and meet the following requirements: Voltage 110 Volts Minimum Gauge Size.. 12 AWG ‘Maximum Length 50 Feet Safety Before installing or using this machine, consider the fact that this machine presents serious injury hazards to untrained users.

Complete this process only after you have familiarized yourself with all instructions in this manual. General Description The WBL290F lathe will perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incorrectly. ‘The instructions in this section are written with the understanding that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing any operation, stop using the machine and seck knowledgeable help! If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recommend that you read books, trade articles, or seek training from an experienced lathe operator before performing any unfamiliar operations. Above all, your safety should come first! Lathe Bed The lathe bed is made of high-grade iron. By combining high cheeks with strong cross ribs, a bed of low vibration and rigidity is produced. It integrates the headstock and drive unit, for attaching the carriage and leadscrew. The two precision-ground V-sideways, re-enforced by heat hardening and grinding, form an accurate guide for the cartiage and tailstock. The brushless motor is mounted to the left rear of the bed. Headstock ‘The headstock is cast from high grade, low vibration, cast iron. It is bolted to the bed with four screws. The headstock houses the main spindle with two precision taper roller bearings and the drive unit. The main spindle transmits the torque during the tuming process. It also holds the workpieces and clamping devices. (e.g. 3-jaw chuck). Carriage The carriage is also made from high quality cast iron. The slide parts are smoothly ground, and are recisely fit within the V so as to eliminate play. the lower sliding parts can be easily and simply adjusted. The cross slide is mounted on the carriage and moves on a dove-tailed slide. Play in the cross slide may be adjusted with the gibs. The cross slide can be manually positioned with the handwheel. A graduated collar on the handwheel indicates movement. A four way tool post is fitted on the top slide and allows four tools to be clamped simultaneously. Loosen the center clamp handle to rotate any of the four tools into position. Apron ‘The apron is mounted on the bed. It houses the half nut with an engaging lever for activating the automatic feed. The half nut gibs are adjustable, A rack, mounted on the front of the bed, allows the ‘operator to quickly position the carriage by tuming the handwheel located on the front of the apron. Leadscrew The leadscrew is mounted on the front of the machine bed. It is connected to the gear box on the left side for automatic feed, and is supported by bearings on either end. The hex nuts at the right end are designed to take up play in the leadserew. Tailstock The tailstock slides on a V-way and can be clamped at any location. The tailstock has a heavy- duty spindle with a Morse Taper #3 socket (MT-3) and a graduated scale, The spindle can be clamped at any location with a clamping lever. The spindle is extended with a handwheel at the end of the tailstock. Note: Ensure the M6 securing screw is securely in place at the end of the lathe in order to prevent the tailstock from running off the lathe bed. Controls To get the most out of your machine, please take the time to familiarize yourself with the various controls and components.Directional Switch A three position switch located on the front control panel controls the spindle direction. Always make sure this switch is in the neutral position BEFORE connecting power to the mill. Forward or reverse must be selected by this switch BEFORE the green “ON” switch is activated, or the lathe will not run, Emergency Stop] (When Closed) Directional “OFF” Button | Switch Emergency STOP and ON/OFF Buttons Pressing inwards on the outside cover activates the ‘emergency stop function. To reset, squeeze the vertical tabs together, which allows the cover to "pop" open. Press the green "ON" button to turn the machine on. The red LED rpm panel should immediately light up. Speed Control Knob ‘Tum clockwise to inerease spindle speed, counter- clockwise to decrease spindle speed. Always make sure to start the machine with the knob set to the fully counter-clockwise position, or zero. Leadscrew Directional Knob Leadscrew rotation can be controlled independently of chuck rotation. The leadscrew directional knob has two positions — left and right: AUTION Feed / Thread Selector Knob Either the leadscrew for threading, or the feed rod for cutting, can be independently selected: AUTION Quick Change Gearbox Dial The quick change gearbox dial is a three position knob, labeled "A", "B", or "C", Used for thread cutting, it enables you to select three different ratios between motor rotation and leadscrew movement: Carriage Handwheel (Longitudinal Movement) Rotate the handwheel clockwise to move the apron assembly toward the tailstock (right). Rotate the handwheel counter-clockwise to move the apron. assembly toward the headstock (left):‘The handwheel features a rotatable collared slip ring that displays movement in hundredths of an inch (0.01") movement along the bed, left or right. ‘This manual control is necessary when setting up the machine for turning or when manual movement is desired during tuning operations. Carriage Lock ‘The carriage is supplied with a 6mm hex head screw on the front right-hand side of the saddle. This bolt locks the cartiage in place for increased rigidity when making facing cuts. Tightening the bolt clockwise locks the carriage in place, loosening the bolt unlocks the carriage and allows it to move freely. Caution: The carriage lock MUST be disengaged BEFORE moving the carriage manually or via the power feed, or damage to the lathe WILL occur. Not loosening this bolt before engaging power feed WILL cause extensive damage to your lathe! Cross Slide Handwheel (Traverse Movement) The cross slide moves perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A single 4mm locking screw is positioned midway on the right side of the slide in order to lock the slide in position. Clockwise rotation of the handwheel moves the cross slide toward the rear of the machine. The handwheel features a slip ring collar that is graduated in two thousandths of an inch (0,002") increments: The scale is calibrated to read in diameter mode, or in other words, how much material is removed from the part. To adjust the cross slide, follow these steps: 1. Using the handwheel, back the cross slide away from your starting point by at least 0.015", then move the cross slide forward to your starting point. Note: This procedure clears any free movement (or backlash) in the lead screw so your handwheel scale reading will be accurate. 2. Hold the handwheel still and tum the graduated collar so that the “0” mark on the collar lines up with the “0.000” hash mark on the cross slide. As long as you continue moving in the same direction, the handwheel will be accurate. Remember, the cross slide reads in diameter mode, or how much material is being removed from the part. 3. After backing the cross slide away from the workpiece, remember to clear the backlash before moving the cross slide forward to the “0” mark for the next cut. ‘Compound Operation ‘The compound slide handwheel features a rotatable collared slip ring that displays movement in graduations of one thousandths of an inch (0.001"):Unlike the cross slide, the compound is calibrated to read direct movement, and not diameter mode. The entire compound assembly can be rotated to any desired angle, and then moved back and forth, along the axis of that angle. To rotate the compound slide, follow these steps: 1, Loosen the compound locking nuts to allow it to be rotated 2. Rotate the compound slide to the desired angle. 3. Tighten the compound locking nuts. Re-check the angle to make sure the compound did not inadvertently move during tightening, 4, Use the compound slide handwheel to move the tool back and forth along the compound axis. Similar to adjusting the cross slide handwheel, make sure to first back the compound away from your starting point by at least 0.015", then move the compound forward to your starting point in order to reduce backlash. Half Nut Engagement Lever Move the lever down to engage the half nut: Half-Nut Lever Disongaged “Threadeutting” for more information, Power Feed Power Feed Lever ‘The entire lever assembly can be positioned either left or right. Moving the lever assembly to the lefl allows the cross slide power feed to be engaged by lowering the handle: Cross Slide Powor Feed Engaged Engage carriage power feed by moving the assembly to the right and lifting the lever up: Carrlage Power Fead Engaged Moving the lever to the middle, or neutral position, disengages power feed, regardless of whether the assembly is positioned to the left or right: Engagement Lever in Neutral Position Tool Post Clamping Lever Rotate counter-clockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten. Rotate the post into position when the lever is unlocked.Tailstock Longitudinal Position Lower the handle to unlock and reposition the tailstock along the bedway. Raise the handle to lock the tailstock in position: istock Quill Clamping Lever Rotate to lock of unlock the spindle extension: 0_ Tailstock Quill Handwheel Rotate clockwise to advance the quill. Rotate counter-clockwise to retract the quill. The handwheel features a rotatable collared slip ring that displays quill extension in graduations of one thousandths of an inch (0.001"): ” Do not attempt to rotate the tailstock handwheel when the quill clamping lever is engaged. Adjusting Tailstock Offset Position ‘Two opposing 6mm allen head screws located either side of the tailstock base are used to offset the tailstock for cutting tapers. To offset the tailstock: 1. Begin by loosening the 3mm allen head locking screw on the end of the tailstock. 2. Using a 6mm hex wrench, loosen the lateral offset adjustment screw on the side you want the tailstock to move TOWARDS. 3. Using a 6mm hex wrench, tighten the offset adjustment screw on the side of the tailstock you wish to move AWAY from until you reach the desired offset. 4. Tighten the opposite adjustment screw. 5. Tighten the 3mm tailstock locking screw. Installing the Tailstock Dead Center 1. Make sure the dead center and tailstock quill are clean and free of any dirt, dust, grease, or oil Morse tapers will not interlock when ditt or oil are present on the mounting surfaces. 2. Extend the quill approximately 1" 3. Slide the dead center into the tailstock quill Removing the Tailstock Dead Center To remove the tailstock dead center: 1, Rotate the tailstock handwheel counter- clockwise to retract the quill. As the quill moves into the tailstock, the dead center will be unseated from the quill. 2. Remove the dead center from the quill. High / Low Motor Speed The lathe is capable of operating in two speed ranges, A (50 - 1,000 rpm) and B (100 - 2,000 rpm), Either speed range can be selected by positioning a belt on either the outer ("A or low speed range) or inner ("B" or high speed range) pulley positions. "A" speed range is recommended for cutting as it has more torque. ‘Changing High / Low Motor Speed 1, Remove the protective gearbox cover. 2. Loosen the four 6mm socket cap screws holding the motor in position:3. Raise the motor in order to loosen the V-belt Move the belt to the desired pulley set. Note: The belt must be positioned on either the inner or outer sets of pulleys. Do not attempt to "cross" over from an inner to outer pulley set. 4, Position the motor so as to tighten the V-belt. 5. Tighten the four 6mm socket cap screws, ensuring the belt remains taut 6. Reinstall the protective gearbox cover. Removing the Chuck The WBL290F spindle nose mounting system uses three studs to hold the chuck in place. To remove the chuck: 1. Disconnect the machine from power source. 2. Move the lathe chuck guard away from the chuek 3. Place a piece of plywood over the bed-ways to protect the ways in case the chuck were to drop. 4, Holding the chuck with your hand, turn the three cam locks counter-clockwise with the chuck key. 5. You may need to tap the chuck with a rubber mallet, rotate it 14 of a turn, tap it, rotate it, and continue repeating this process until the chuck separates from the spindle. Never use a pry bar or steel hammer to remove the chuck as you will damage the lathe components! 6. Inspect the camlock studs. Make sure they are not cracked or broken Installing the Chuck 1. Disconnect the machine from power source. 2. Place a piece of plywood over the bed-ways to protect the ways in case the chuck were to drop. 3. Place the chuck onto the spindle. Tighten in place by turning the cam locks 1/4 turn clockwise. ‘The index mark on each cam lock should be between the two indicator arrows. If it is not, remove the chuck and adjust the cam lock studs as necessary. 7. Re-install and tighten in place. 8. Remove all wrenches and/or chuck keys from the chuck/spindle nose. 9. Move the chuck guard down into place over the chuck before operating, or the lathe will not start Tool Set-Up ‘When turning, the tool has a tendency to bend under the cutting force generated during chip formation. For best results, tool overhang should be kept to a minimum of 3/8” or less ‘must be clamped firmly into the toolholder. The cutting angle is correct when the cutting edge is in line with the center axis of the work pies correct height of the tool can be achieved by comparing the tool point to a dead center mounted in the tailstock. If necessary, install steel spacer shims underneath the tool to get the required height. Manual Turning ‘The carriage, cross slide and compound axis can all be manually moved by their respective handwheels. Longitudinal Turning with Auto-Feed Use the table on the gearbox cover to select the desired feed speed or thread pitch. Adjust the change gears as necessary. Straight Turning Ina straight turning operation, the tool feeds parallel to the axis of rotation of the workpiece. ‘The feed can be either manual by turning the handwheel on the lathe saddle or the top slide, or by activating the automatic feed. The crossfeed for the depth of cut is achieved by using the cross slide. Facing and Recesses Ina facing operation, the tool feeds perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the workpiece. The feed is, made manually with the cross slide handwheel. The crossfeed for cut depth is made with the compound or carriage handwheels. ‘Turning Between Centers For turning between centers, it is necessary to first remove the chuck from the spindle. Fit an MT-S center into the spindle nose and an MT-3 center into the tailstock, Mount the workpiece fitted witha lathe dog between centers. The lathe dog can be driven either by a catch or faceplate. Note: Always make sure to use a small amount of grease when turning between dead centers. Taper Turning Using Tailstock Off-Set The tailstock can be offset for turning a conical workpiece. The maximum angle depends on the length of the workpiece. After taper turing, the tailstock can be roughly returned to its original position according to the zero position on the fixed scale affixed to the bottom of the tailstock. A more accurate center position can be obtained by performing the "Aligning the Tailstock” procedure on page 24 Break-In Procedure CAUTION: DO NOT PERFORM the following procedure until you are familiar with and comfortable with operating the lathe. It is vital to understand the operation of all of the controls before performing this procedure. If you suspect the lathe is not working correctly, shut it off and correct the problem BEFORE proceeding further. 1, Put on safety glass 2. Please first read the manual and educate yourself on the proper operation of a lathe. Operating a lathe can be inherently dangerous. A lathe can seriously injure or even kill you if not operated correctly. Simply reading the manual is not enough education to safely run this machine 3. Ensure the chuck is tight and chuck key removed. 4, Ensure the half nut lever (carriage feed lever) is up" and disengaged. Move the carriage towards the tailstock, away from the chuck. Ensure the power feed lever is in the neutral, or disengaged position. 5. Unplug the lathe and remove it from any source of power. We cannot overstress the importance of removing power anytime the gearbox cover is removed! ALWAYS UNPLUG THE LATHE AND. REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF POWER BEFORE THE GEARBOX COVER IS REMOVED! 6. Remove the gearbox cover. Ensure the speed belt is in the outermost position "A" for low speed operations. Close the cover. 7. Ensure the RPM dial is at the lowest possible position (rotate knob fully counter-clockwise). 8. Reconnect power to the lathe. It is critical that you make sure there is oil in the quick change gearbox BEFORE proceeding with the break in procedure. Refer to the Lubrication instructions on page 24 for more details on which type of oil to use, how much to use, and where to put it. 9. Turn the direction switch to the forward or "F" position. 10, Press the green ON button. The LED speed display should light up in red. 11, Rotate RPM dial until spindle speed is 200 RPM and run lathe for a minimum of 3 minutes. 12, Without stopping lathe, increase spindle speed to 600 rpm for 3 minutes. 13, Without stopping lathe, increase spindle speed to 1,000 rpm for 3 minutes. 14, Slowly reduce RPM to zero. 15. Tur the direction switch to the reverse or "R" position, 16, Press the green ON button. The LED speed display should light up in red. 17, Rotate RPM dial until spindle speed is 200 RPM and run lathe for a minimum of 3 minutes. 18, Without stopping lathe, increase spindle speed to 600 rpm for 3 minutes. 19, Without stopping lathe, increase spindle speed to 1,000 rpm for 3 minutes. 20. Slowly reduce RPM to zero. 21. Tum the direction switch to Congratulations - Lathe spindle break-i complete! Failure to follow start up and spindle break-in procedures will likely cause rapid deterioration of the spindle and other related parts.Lathe Test Run Before operating the lathe, a test run to verify the lathe mechanisms are operating correetly should be completed to ensure the lathe operates properly. Prior to performing this test, manually operate the lathe throughout its full travel on all axis to ensure the machine is not binding, the gibs are not too tight, and the carriage lock is not engaged. Make sure the slides are all in a neutral, middle of travel position so as to preclude from accidentally running into the chuck, or reaching the end of travel on any axis. If there's any doubt or confusion, push the Emergency Stop button and stop the lathe! procedure has already been accomplished. 3. Run the lathe manually throughout its full travel on all axis. 4, Ensure the chuck is tight, and that the key is NOT inserted in the chuck, and that the lathe chuck guard is in the down position. Make this step a habit that you perform every time before you start the lathe. 5. Familiarize yourself with all of the lathe controls. 6. Clear all tools, components, packing material, ete. away from the machine. 7. Ensure the half-nut lever is disengaged (raised). 8. Ensure the power feed lever is in the neutral, or disengaged position 9. Ensure the quick change selector dial is set to position "B". 10. Ensure the rpm selector knob is at the “O” rpm position by turning the knob fully counter- clockwise. This should be done anytime before the lathe is connected to power. 11. Make sure the leadscrew directional knob is rotated to the left most, counter-clockwise position. Rotating the chuck back and forth by hand (in order to allow the gears to align) will make it easier to engage/disengage this selector knob. 12. Plug the machine into a 110V power outlet. It is critical that you make sure there is oil in the quick change gearbox BEFORE proceeding any further. Refer to the Lubrication instructions on page 24 for more details on which type of oil to use, how much to use, and where to put it. 13. Rotate the directional switch to the cy forward position. 14, Push the green “ON” button. The LED speed display should light up in red. 15. Stand to the side of the chuck, and start the lathe by rotating the rpm selector knob to 300 rpm. 16. Apply a slight downwards pressure on the half- nut lever, and ease the lever into the engaged position as the gears become aligned. Do not force the lever into position. It is normal to have to pause a moment to allow the gears to align, before they fully engage. 17. Verify that the carriage moves along the bed, towards the chuck. 18. Disengage the half-nut lever by raising it upwards. Ensure the carriage is no longer moving. 19, Rotate the RPM dial to zero by turning the knob all the way counter-clockwise. 20. Push the red "OFF" button, Wait until the LED display blanks. 21. Rotate the leadserew directional clockwise to the right-most position. 22, Push the green “ON” button. The LED speed display should light up in red. 23. Start the lathe by rotating the rpm selector knob to 300 rpm. 24, Engage the half-nut lever 25. Verify that the carriage moves along the bed, towards the tailstock. 26. Disengage the half-nut lever by raising it up. Ensure the carriage is no longer moving, 27. Slide the power feed lever assembly to the left ‘most position. Lower the lever to engage the cross slide power feed. Be careful - the cross slide is now moving under power, albeit VERY slow. The movement can be very subtle - this is why you must be attentive, and never leave a machine unattended or operate while tired or while medicated! 28, Disengage the cross slide power feed lever by raising it to the neutral position. Ensure the cross slide stops moving. 29. Slide the power feed lever assembly to the right most position. Raise the lever to engage the carriage power feed. Ensure the carriage is moving. 30. Disengage the carriage power feed by lowering the power feed lever to the neutral position. Ensure the carriage stops moving. 31. Rotate the RPM dial to zero by turning the knob all the way counter-clockwise. 32. Turn the direction switch to "0" knob33. Push the red "OFE" button, Wait until the LED display blanks. Congratulations - Lathe test run is complete! Threadcutting Half Nut Lever For the WBL290F lathe, all threading operations are performed by engaging the half nut lev NOTE: The half nut should only be engaged while cutting threads. Quick Change Gearbox Dial ‘A three position quick change gearbox dial located at the bottom right of the headstock changes the feed rate, or the number of threads cut per inch. Use the feed rate charts shown on the cover of the ‘gearbox to correctly position the quick change ‘gearbox dial. The dial can be engaged in positions "A", "B",or"C": aa Best practice is to only reposition the quick change gearbox dial when the lathe is stopped. However, as a practical matter, when spindle speed is lower than 500 rpm, the knob can be repositioned to another setting provided the operator does so in a steady, deliberate manner. Care must be taken to not hesitate nor move the dial too quickly. Never reposition the quick change gearbox dial or attempt to select a different setting with spindle speeds above 500 rpm. Change Gears Using a combination of change gears and the quick change gearbox dial allows the WBL290F lathe to cut 21 imperial and 18 metric threads, for a total of 2 39 different thread types. Adjust the gears to cut the desired thread pitch according to the threading diagram on page 23. Change Gears Replacement Disconnect the machine from power source. Open the protective gearbox door. The quadrant ‘arm has three separate gearset shafts: To Remove the Gears Each shaft holds two gears, or a single gear and bushing. The top and middle gear sets are held in place by two removable cir e bottom gears are held in place by a Smm socket head cap screw. All three sets of gears are mounted to an adjustable am, or quadrant. The quadrant pivots via the bottom axle so as to ensure correct alignment between the top set of gears and the spindle gear. Each set of gears is positioned on an axle which can be repositioned anywhere along a slot, or channel, in the quadrant. ‘Typically, any change of gears will necessitate making two adjustments: first, re-adjusting the distance between the axles, and second, adjusting the quadrant angle. Adjusting Axle Spacing he top and middle gearset axles can be easily repositioned as necessary along the length of the quadrant. To loosen either axle, loosen the 10mm flat on the end of either respective axle. Slide the axle to the desired position along the quadrant, and then tighten the axle in position:Adjusting Quadrant Angle To adjust the distance between the top gearset axle and the top spindle drive gear, you must adjust the quadrant angle. Begin by loosening the 6mm socket, head cap screw at the bottom right of the quadrant: Rotate the quadrant to the desired angle, and then te-tighten the 6mm cap screw. Note: It may be easiest to think of spacing gears as a ‘bottom up' process. This is because the bottom ‘gear must be aligned with the leadscrew, and therefore has no lateral adjustment. Consequently, all adjustment between the middle and bottom ‘gearsets are accomplished by repositioning the middle axle as necessary. Once this is accomplished, the distance between the middle and top gearsets can be adjusted by relocating the top ‘gearset axle as needed. Finally, the spacing between the top gearset and the spindle gear is adjusted by rotating the quadrant right or left as necessary. Thread Cutting Start the machine and engage the half nut when the threading dial reaches the appropriate number. When the tool reaches the part, it will cut the initial 2 threading pass. When the tool reaches the end of the cut, disengage the feed by raising the half nut lever. Move the cutting tool away from the part by retracting the compound or cross slide as desired, Return the carriage to the beginning of the part with the carriage handwheel. Move the cutter back into the part, plus whatever additional depth of cut you desire. Engage the half nut lever using the same threading dial number as before, so as not to cross or strip any threads. Repeat as necessary to obtain your desired depth of thread.0.017[ 0.026[ 0.03 [0.036 | 0.06 wa] e |o]es |e |o [ot Bt 0.035] 0.052| 0.06 [0.072 0.12 Tr 7 |W @]H ool H co] H oo[H s0]H 30 Zs Le |20 75] 30 80] 50 80 | 50 80 | 60 8070 80 [_[so [75 [75H [60H | 0 w [00H c_ [02 | 03 | 05 | 082 | 075 |0.88 A [o4 [06 [10 [425 | 15 [175 B [os {12 | 20] 25 | 30 [35 RARE 0/7" 7 EH Za 1560 70} Lj HS0|H 0]H 60]H Gp]H 70H 50] 65 H60 H]85 H [65H [85 70H tla Me 69 85) 50 75/45 50 50 80) 45 oolas 85 9 [95] so |i | a2 [a4 a | 16 is | 19 | 20 | 22 | 24 | 28 B [2 36 | 38 | 40 | 4 | 48 [56 Keep hands out of mo parts of this machine.

Your lathe has numerous moving metal-to-metal contacts that require proper lubrication to help ensure efficient and long-lasting operation. After a period time, wear in some of the moving components may need to be adjusted. For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section. At the end of every day, make sure the machine is completely powered down and removed from power. Clean up any excess cutting fluids and remove any excess chips. Make sure all unpainted surfaces are clean and protected with oil. Inspect to make sure there are no worn or damaged wires. Recommended Mobil Lubricants: Slideways. Vactra #2 Way Oil Change Gears. srersnes Mobilux EP 2 Leadscrew.. -DTE 24 Light - ISO 32 .» DTE Heavy Medium ISO 68 Mobil Velocite #10 Oil Reservoirs... Spindle Bearings. Slideways Lubricate all slideways lightly before every use with Mobil Vactra #2 Way Oil Change Gears Lubricate the change gears with Mobilux Leadscrew Lubricate the leadscrew with Mobil DTE 24 Light / ISO 32 oil. Ball Oilers ‘There are a total of 15 ball oilers on the WBL290F. Alll of these should be lubricated daily. Before servicing, first make sure to clear away any debris from the oilers in order to avoid contaminating the lubricant and thereby increasing wear of the moving parts. An oil bottle has been provided for this purpose. They are located as follows: (2) Inside T-Slots in cross slide (1) Top of cross slide (4) Top of saddle m4 stock quill (J) Tailstock handwheel (2) Leadscrew hanger bearing (1) Upper change gear shaft (1) Middle change gear shaft (2) Spindle Oil Reservoirs The WBL290F oil reservoir should be checked daily. After the first three months of operation, it should be completely drained and refilled, Afterwards, the oil should be changed annually. Quick Change Gearbox Oil Reservoir The reservoir is located at the bottom of the headstock. The sight glass is located on the front of the machine, midway below the leadscrew directional knob, and the quick change gearbox dial, The fill plug is an 8mm socket set screw located on the right side of the headstock. The drain plug is an 8mm socket set serew located inside the gearbox area, to the left of the headstock. To add oil: 1. Wipe clean the area surrounding the fill plug to prevent debris from falling into the reservoir. 2. Remove the fill plug. 3. Slowly add Mobil DTE Heavy Medium ISO 68 until the oil level is halfway up the sight glass window. 4. Replace the fill plug. ‘To change oil: 1, Wipe clean the area surrounding the fill plug to prevent debris from falling into the reservoir when adding oil 2. Remove the reservoir fill plug 3. Place a drain pan under the reservoir drain opening, remove the drain plug, and allow the oil to completely drain out into the pan. 4, Replace the drain plug. 5. Slowly add oil until the oil level is halfway up the sight glass window. 6. Replace the fill plug. Unpainted Cast Iron Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces by wipingthe machine down after every use - this ensures moisture does not remain on bare metal surfaces. Gib Adjustment At least monthly, ensure the gibs are adjusted properly. The function of the gibs is to take out play in the cross slide and compound without causing the slides to bind. The gibs are pre-adjusted at the factory and should not need further adjustment until many hours of machine use. If the ‘movement scems too tight, make sure the slideway locks are fully released. After a period of time, movement of the table over the ways will cause normal wear. Adjusting the Cross Slide The cross slide is fitted with a single gib strip on the right hand side. A single 4mm locking screw is positioned midway on the right side. Four 4mm socket head cap screws and jam nuts provide a means of adjusting tension on the gib strip. To adjust the tension, first loosen the four 8mm jam nuts, Tighten the set screws until a slight drag is detected while turning the handwheel. This drag should be evenly distributed among the four set screws, so adjust each screw evenly, DO NOT overtighten. When the proper tension has been achieved, tighten the jam nuts while maintaining the position of the screw with a hex wrench. Adjusting the Compound ‘The compound is fitted with a single gib strip on the left hand side. A single 4mm locking screw is positioned towards the back on the left hand side. ‘Three 4mm socket head cap serews and jam nuts provide a means of adjusting tension on the gib strip. To adjust the tension, first loosen the three 8mm jam nuts. Tighten the set screws until a slight drag is detected while tuming the handwheel. This drag should be evenly distributed among the three set screws, so adjust each screw evenly. DO NOT overtighten, When the proper tension has been achieved, tighten the jam nuts while maintaining the position of the screw with a hex wrench. Aligning the Tailstock The tailstock comes factory aligned with the headstock. If you offset the tailstock in order to tum a taper, the tailstock should be re-aligned. A rough alignment can be achieved by using the indicator scale at the base of the tailstock. To perform a precision alignment, perform the following: 1. First ensure the lathe is level side to side and front to back using a precision level. 2. Obtain two pieces of round stock approximately six inches long. 3. Center drill both ends of the first piece, then set it aside 4. On the second piece, turn a 60 degree point. 5. Insert a live center in the tailstock. 6. Secure the first piece between the 60 degree point and the live center with a lathe dog. 7. Tum approximately ten thousands off the entire length of the piece. 8. Measure the diameter on both ends. 9. If the workpiece is thicker at the tailstock end, move the tailstock toward the operator half of the difference in thickness, then repeat the procedure starting at step 8. 10, If the workpiece is thinner at the tailstock end, move the tailstock away from the operator half of the difference in thickness, then repeat the procedure starting at step & 11, If the workpiece is equal on both ends, the tailstock is in alignment. Note: Once the second piece (the dead center) is removed from the chuck, the 60 degree point must be re-cut to make it true to the chuck Adjusting Spindle Bearings ‘The main spindle bearings are adjusted at the factory. If end play becomes evident after considerable use, the bearings should be adjusted. Caution: Excessive tightening or preloading will damage the bearings. Loosen the lock nuts on the end of the spindle. Adjust the tension until all end play is taken up. The spindle should still revolve freely. Tighten the lock nuts against each other, whilst checking the spindle for drag. Do not overtighten!Replacing the Fuse: Located on the underside of the back control panel, next to the power cord, is a fuse receptacle. The fuse is a FI20AL250V. To replace a fuse FIRST DISCON? MACHINE. ECT POWER FROM THE Unscrew the fuse holder and replace the fuse. AWARNING Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and could cause used to clean machinery. DO NOT use gasoline or petroleum products to clean the machinery. 6SECTION 6: ACCESSORIES Lathe Accessories Three Jaw Universal Lathe Chuck The 3-jaw chuck allows round, triangular, square, hexagonal, octagonal, and twelve-comered stock to be clamped. Note: new lathes have very tight fitting jaws. This is necessary to ensure accurate clamping and long service life. With repeated opening and closing, the jaws adjust automatically and their operation becomes progressively smoother. There are two types of jaws: intemal and external, Each jaw set is marked with a number inside the jaw’s groove. Do not mix the two different jaw sets When installing jaws, insert them in ascending order, ie. 1-2-3 Four Jaw Independent Lathe Chuck A 4 jaw chuck has four independently adjustable chuck jaws. These permit the holding of asymmetrical pieces and enable an accurate of cylindrical pieces. Drill Chuck (Optional) Use the drill chuck to hold drills in the tailstock. Morse Taper Arbor (Optional) An arbor is necessary for mounting the drill chuck in the tailstock. The tailstock has an MT-2 taper. Live Center (Optional) The live center is mounted in ball bearings. Its use is highly recommended for turning at speeds above 600 RPM. Steady Rest ‘The steady rest serves as a support for shafis on the free tailstock end. For many operations the tailstock can not be used as it obstructs the turning tool or drilling tool, and therefore, must be removed from. n the machine, The steady rest, which functions as an end support, ensures chatter-free operation. The steady rest is mounted on the bedways and is secured from below with a locking plate, The sliding fingers require continuous lubrication to the contact points to prevent premature wear 1. Loosen three hex nuts. 2. Loosen the knurled screw and open the sliding ingers until the steady rest can be moved with its finger around the workpiece. Secure the steady rest in position. 3. Tighten the knurled screws so that the fingers are snug but not too tight against the workpiece. Tighten the three nuts. Lubricate the sliding points with oil. 4. When, after prolonged operation, the tips show signs of wear, they may be filed or milled. Follow Rest The follow rest is mounted on the saddle and follows the movement of the turning tool. Only two sliding fingers are required. The place of the third finger is taken by the turning tool. The follow rest is used for turning operations on long, slender workpieces. It prevents flexing of the workpiece under pressure from the turning tool. Set the fingers snug to the workpiece but not overly tight. Lubricate the fingers during operation to prevent premature wear.WBL290F Wiring Diagram LED Speed Readout RPM Knob (Front) Emergency Stop ON/OFF Switch WBL250F 2%WBL290F Exploded Parts Diagram ADiagram Number Description Specification Quantity L Headstock 1 2 Bearing, 33012 2 3 ‘Spindle 1 4 Chuck K11160 1 5 Gear ZA8 MLS 1 6 Spindle Pulle 1 7 Motor Pulley 1 8 Bush Washer 2 9 Bush Washer 2 10 Bush 1 ut Clock Nut M48x1.5 2 12 Bolt M10x65 3 13 Nut M10 3 14 Washer 10 3 15 Spring Washer 10 3 16 Belt Cover 1 17 Motor 1 18 Motor Plate 1 19 Adjustment Plate 1 20 Support Block 1 21 Block 1 2 Label 1 23 Screw MS5x10 5 24 Key 8x42 1 25 Screw M8x20 4 26 Key 5x20 L 27 Spring Washer 8 u 28 Bolt M8x30 4 29 Nut M& 4 30 Washer 8 6 31 Screw M6x8_ 1 32 Screw, M6x40 2 33 Screw M8x30 2 34 Bolt M8x55 L 35 Screw M8x50 2 36 Pin 12x70 1 37 Nut M8 2 38 Belt 7M-925 1 30WBL290F Exploded Parts Diagram BDiagram Number Description Specification | Quantity 1 Gear Shaft i 2 Bearing 16170 2 3 ‘O-Ring 18001400 2 4 Nut MI6x1.5 2 3 pring Pin 5x35 1 6 Collar 1 7 Screw MSx8 i0 8 Cover 1 9 Collar 1 10 Gear 1 I Bearing 6202 2 2 Left Plus 1 13 ‘Screw M5x10 6 14 Washer 10 1 15 Key 1 16 Pin axi4 1 17 ‘O-Ring TR001500 3 18, Snap Ring 18 2 19 Bearing Tsi5) 1 20 Gear 1 21 Shaft 1 22 ‘Screw M6x50 4 23 Gearbox 1 24 ‘Screw MI6x1,5x12 2 25 Collar 4 26 Right Plug 1 27 Shaft 1 28 Bearing O815, 1 29 Bearing, (08075 1 30 Gear 1 31 Snap Ring 15 2 32 Gear 1 33 Shaft 1 34 Key ax25 1 35 Key 4x8, 2 36 Gear 1 37 ‘Screw M6x10 2 38 Shaft 1 39 Ke} Ax50 1 40 Key 4x20 1 a Bearing 1615 1 a Gear 1Diagram.
