For outboard turning, where the headstock is

moved to the opposite end of the Lathe to

accommodate large bowl blanks, you can (1)

mount the 18” bed extension to the three lower

holes on the Lathe frame, and (2) mount a

vertical extension post [optional accessory,

stock number 3520B-310] to the tool rest base.

See Figure 9.

Shelf Assemblies (Optional)

The double ledges on the inside of the Lathe

legs will provide support for a shelf (not

provided), which is convenient for storing larger

items while keeping them easily accessible.

Figures 10-11-12 illustrate three methods of

creating a shelf, using common lumber and

basic tools.

IMPORTANT TIP: It is unlikely that a full-size

shelf can be completely built and then inserted

between the Lathe legs. Therefore, construct the

shelf in pieces and insert screws only after the

shelf has been established beneath the Lathe.

Shelf Style 1 (Figure 10)

Lay two 2x6 boards flat upon the inner ledges.

Boards of 48” length are suitable, although 48-

1/2” is optimal.

Shelf Style 2 (Figure 11)

Lay two 2x4’s (or 2x6’s) on edge into the outer

ledges. Boards of 48” length are suitable, 48-

1/2” optimal.

Cut two pieces from a plywood board, and

screw them to the top edges of the 2x4’s. (One

48” plywood piece will not fit through the legs of

the Lathe; use at least two pieces.) Make the

plywood pieces flush with the outside edge of

the 2x4’s.

Shelf Style 3: (Figure 12)

This is a basket-style shelf consisting of two

2x6’s and dowel rods. The advantage of this

design is that most wood chips will fall through

the shelf instead of accumulating on it. The

instructions below are for building the shelf

shown in Figure 12. The completed shelf is

shown on the front cover of this manual.

Materials used:

2 – 2x6’s (48” suitable, 48-1/2” optimal).

8 – wood dowels, 4’ length, 5/8” diameter.
