Look at the speed chart. Notice that a 2"
square turning up to 18" long should run
at 875 R.P.M. for "roughing". Move the V-
belt on the pulleys to the slowest speed

WARNING: For your own safety
rotate the wood by hand to make
sure that the corners do not strike
the tool rest or anything else before
turning the lathe "ON". Always be
sure the workpiece is properly
mounted and the lathe is set at the
proper speed (RPM).
