    SAFE WORK PROCEDURE(Lathe)

    • All stock must be properly secured in the lathe chuck or


    mounted prior to the machining process taking place.
    • Use the correct sized clamp or vise for the stock being
    machined.
    • Turn the chuck or faceplate by hand to ensure there is
    no binding or danger of the work striking any part of the
    lathe.
    • Check to ensure the cutting tool will not run into the
    chuck or lathe dog. If possible, feed away from the chuck
    or dogs.
    • Before starting the lathe, ensure the spindle work has the cup centre imbedded; tail,
    stock and tool rests are securely clamped; and there is proper clearance for the
    rotating stock.
    • Prior to starting the lathe, ensure that small diameter stock does not project too far
    from the chuck without support from the tail stock centre.
    • When using wood, do not mount a split work piece or one containing knots.
    • When roughing stock, do not force the tool in the work piece or take too big a cut.
    • The operator must always be aware of the direction and speed of the carriage or
    cross- feed prior to engaging the automatic feed.
    • Never leave the key in the chuck. Do not let go of the key until it is free of the chuck
    and secured in its proper holding place.
    • Select turning speed carefully. Large diameter stock must be turned at a very low
    speed. Always use the lowest speed to rough out the stock prior to final machining.
    • The correct speed and feed for the specific material and cutting tool must be used.
    Stop the machine before adjusting or measurements.
    • Do not remove metal or wood chips from the table or stock by hand. Use a brush or
    other tool to properly remove chips or shavings from the table or stock.
    • Never attempt to run the chuck on or off the spindle head by engaging the power.
    • Do not stop the rotation of the chuck by reversing the power to the lathe unless
    tapping holes.
    • Do not leave tools, bits or excess pieces of stock on the lathe bed.
    • All belts and pulleys must be guarded. If frayed belts or pulleys are observed, the
    lathe must be taken out of service and the belts or pulleys replaced.
    • Stop the machine immediately if odd noise or excessive vibration occurs.
    • Only properly sharpened drill bits and cutting tools in good condition should be used.
    Dull drill bits and chipped or broken cutting tools must be removed from service.
    • Disconnect the lathe from power source, Lock-out/Tag-out, if making repairs or
    servicing.
