Nova DVR 3000 Lathe Features at a glanceDVR Electronic driveThe Nova DVR lathe is unique. The DVR incorporates the motor built as part of theheadstock, the spindle and motor are one unit. The motor is maintenance free anddesigned with high reliability. The Digital variable reluctance motor uses smartmotor technology to provide an incredibly smooth and powerful drive. The drivetakes turning to a new level. The controller monitors the spindle position constantlyand maintains spindle speed very closely. Extra power is added as it senses extraload from the tool.Add on Bed SystemA lathe that meets your woodturning needs, your workshop space, or your pocket! Each segment is 20" in length.The feature appeals for many different reasons:As a compact lathe (standard configuration) it is great for small turning workshopspaces.As an extended lathe for those wanting to do extra long spindles (beyond thetraditional between center of most lathes) the Nova 3000 delivers big turningcapacity. Illustrated at left.As a bowl lathe for those just wanting to turn bowls.Sophisticated Swivel HeadSwivel head lathes have many advantages:• Space saving• Allows the turner (not the machine!) to decide the most comfortable position for yourturning (saving you from backstrain)• Elimination of left-hand ‘outboard’ turning techniques and no extra outboard chucks and faceplates arenecessary.There are a number of swivel head lathes available, but the Nova 3000 has by far the most sophisticated, accurateand easy to use swivel head on the market.The Nova 3000 lathe can be easily and quickly swiveled to any position (360 degrees). It can be solidly locked inany position plus it has the added security of a detent pin lock at 0,22.5,45,90 plus 315 (for left-hand use).The swivel head turns, locks easily and has a very accurate detent position, to lock the spindle in line with thetailstock. Then for super accuracy the adjustable tailstock can be finely tuned for pin point alignment (this isfactory set but can be adjusted in the field). This combination of detent pin and adjustable tailstock, delivers superbaccuracy and is unique to the Nova 3000.Solid ConstructionWell proven design, the Nova 3000 is made from Cast Iron components for strength and rigidity. Added featureslike the heavy duty twin bearing system, and special webbed bed design makes the lathe well equipped to takeheavy turning stresses. The bed has been designed with vibration dampening qualities - a solid 1/2" cross rib ispositioned long the bed unit, quickly dissipating any vibration as it travels down the bed.Cast-iron has always been the material of choice for Woodlathe construction its inherent mass and an excellentmodulus of vibration2 101-0505-002

Setting Up Your WorkshopWorkshop RequirementsConsiderationLatheLocationLightingElectricalVentilationRecommendationLocate the Nova DVR 3000 close to a power source in an area withgood lighting. Leave enough clearance on all sides of the lathe; allowfor motor clearance when the headstock is swiveled. Other machinesin your shop should not interfere with the operation of the lathe.Your shop should have adequate lighting. The work area of the latheshould be well lit; there should not be shadows cast on your work. Ifpossible, locate near a window. A movable spotlight may be helpful.The Nova DVR 3000 requires the appropriate outlet nearby to powerthe motor. Wiring and outlets should adhere to local electrical codes.If in doubt, seek advice from an electrician. Minimize use ofextension cords.Your shop should be adequately ventilated. The degree of ventilationwill vary based on the size of the shop and the amount of work done.The use of dust collectors and filters will minimize risks to yourhealth.Lathe Stand RecommendationsA sturdy and rigid stand is required so that the Nova DVR 3000 Woodlathe can deliver optimumperformance. A common flaw with many woodlathe installations is an inadequate stand for thelathe. The larger the size of your turnings, the greater the importance of the lathe stand design.ConsiderationLathe Heightfrom floorStand TopStand WeightStand LegsRecommendationThe height of the stand should locate the centerline of the lathespindle at the elbow height of the turner.( illustration next page)The stand top should be flat so the lathe does not twist when it isbolted down. Check for any gaps between lathe feet and standtop before bolting down. Shim and prepare stand as necessary..The stand should have enough weight and mass so it doesn'tmove when turning large work pieces, and so that the stand canabsorb vibrations. A lathe stand's stability can be improved byweighing it down with sand bags on a lower shelf.The stand should sit level on the floor and not rock.10 101-0505-002

Assembling the Nova DVR 30001. Unpack the lathe and components from the shipping container. This is best done bycutting down the sides of the box to expose the lathe! Warning!Have other people help when moving or lifting the Nova DVR 3000Woodlathe; it weighs about 82 kg (181 LB).2. Clean any parts coated with rust preventative with a cloth moistened with a petroleumbasedsolvent or cleanser, such as paint thinner. Coat the lathe bed with paste wax.Nova DVR 3000 Components After UnpackingSpindleDVRControllerTailstockBedToolrest, headstock swivel pin,(faceplate optional), operatingbars, extraction nut, centers,operating bar.3. Remove the plastic shipping tubingfrom headstock base. Screw theHeadstock Lockpin into the threadedhole at the bottom of the headstock.Insert the operating bar into the holein the Lockpin and firmly tighten theLockpin to lock the headstock inposition; then remove the operatingbar. NOTE: When the pin is fullyengaged the groove machined intothe pin furthest from the threadshould line up with the edge of thehole in the casting. By doing this thepin will be engaged in the hole of theswivel pin.4.

Clean the joining ends of both bedsections with a petroleum-basedsolvent. Make sure there are nodents or burrs on either matingsurface. Remove burrs and highspots with a smooth file.Capscrew (2)2. Gently tap the two dowel pins intothe non-threaded holes of one of thebed sections, until they are flush withthe holes inside the casting.Dowel Pin (2)Extension Bed! Warning!Do not use a metal hammer to pound directly on to the extension bed.This may damage the bed, affect accuracy and tailstock action, andmay prevent you from adding another extension bed. When using ametal hammer, always add a block of wood to the contact surface, tocushion the blow and prevent impact damage.3. Line up the dowel pin holes of the add-on extension to the dowels and gently tap the end ofthe add-on bed with a rubber or wooden mallet (or using a metal hammer but with wood tocushion as noted above under the warning) until the two beds come together.? Note: Due to tight tolerances between the Dowel Pins and the holes, tip -- put dowel pins inFreezer for at least 2 hours this will help to shrink them.4. Secure the bed sections together with two M12x30 capscrews using a 10 mm Allenwrench. It may be necessary to move the lathe so the capscrews can be reached with thewrench from the bottom of the bed.5. Check that the toolslide and tailstock move freely over the mating joint and also over thefull length of the add-on extension. If there is ridge between the two mating surfaces use asmooth file to file the surfaces flush.6. Follow the suggestions under "Mounting the Lathe to a Support Surface".101-0505-002 13

Mounting the Lathe to a Support SurfaceBolt tightening sequence2nd1st3rdMaximum of 25 mm (1 in.)(Required only for mounting theOutrigger Unit option.)!Mounting Holes (6)The lathe must be fastened to asupport surface, such as a lathestand or bench.1. Place the lathe on the stand top. Locate the front and left corner of the latheapproximately 25 mm (1 in.) from the corner edge of the stand top. This provides acomfortable reach when turning and allows the optional outrigger unit to be easily installed.2. If necessary, mark the six hole locations on the top and drill M12 (1/2-inch) holes.3. Place a spirit level along the top of the lathe bed. Any movement of the bubble as thelathe is secured, indicates a twist on the bed. For the lathe to operate correctly the bedmust not twist; if necessary, use shims between the bed and stand top.4. Use bolts of suitable length (not included) to secure the lathe. Tighten the two headstockbolts first, then the two tailstock bolts, and finally tighten the two middle bolts.5. The two 12mm threaded holes underneath the outrigger end of headstock can be optionallyused (making a total of 8 bolt positions) ensure that the bolt is a metric M12 x 1.75 mmpitch and that the length is correct to ensure that the bolt doesn't bottom in the threadedhole and potentially damage casting.Connecting to PowerThe power cord should be 3-wire, having a grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plugmust be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordancewith local electrical codes.! Warning!Improper connection of the motor can result in a risk of electricalshock.If it is necessary to use an extension cord, the cord should be grounded. Use the proper wiresize for the extension cord, for a given cord length, to avoid power loss and over-heating.55016 115v 15 amp wall connection.55078 220-240v x 10 amp or 15 amp wall socket connection.14 101-0505-002

Lathe Turning speedsCorrect selection of turning speeds is important for safety and finish cut qualityIt is important to take into account the fixing of the work piece, it should be made as secure aspossible. Various techniques are available for this consult books on the subject and seektraining opportunities.There are safety and out of balance considerations. Aim for a good balance in turning speed,ensure good fixing and try to balance timber as much as possible before installing on lathe.In general wood likes being sliced and if too low a speed is used the timber can "hammer"against the cutting tool, tearing fibres and imposing large forces on tool and work piece. Thiscan often be dangerous, it is best to select a higher speed, the cut will be smoother and lessforce is imposed on work piece. It can be likened to a wood plane, if it is pushed very slowlymuch force is needed to break the fibres, if the plane is pushed at a higher speed less forcesare involved and a better cut results. Use 250 when needed , but better turning 400-600.101-0505-002 21

Tailstock! Warning!Never loosen the tailstock quill ortailstock while the work piece isturning.To move the tailstock along the bed, loosenthe Tailstock Clamp Handle, slide thetailstock to the desired position, and tightenthe clamp handle.To move the tailstock quill in or out, loosenthe Quill Lock and turn the Handwheel.Lock the quill in place with the Quill Lock.The tailstock quill accepts centers andaccessories with no. 2 Morse taper (#2 MT).To install a taper use a quick, firm action byhand. Do not pound the taper in.To remove a taper, insert the operating barthrough the tailstock quill hole. Whileholding the taper so it doesn’t fall, tap it out.The tailstock quill is hollow, allowing you tobore holes through turnings if a hollowcenter is used.Operate Cam Lock Lever to releaseand lock tailstock. Can be operatedforward or back, whichever isconvenient.Learning TurningThe art and technique of turning is a subject beyond the scope of this instruction manual. It isrecommended that you receive hands-on instruction on lathe turning and/or refer to books andvideos on the subject.

Cleaning the TailstockIf the tailstock quill becomes hard to use orthe Handwheel is hard to turn, cleaning andlubricating are required.1. Remove the 6 mm set screw from thetailstock. If necessary, turn theHandwheel to expose the set screw.2. Using a screwdriver, remove the keeperplate from the tailstock body.3. Remove the quill and Handwheel fromthe tailstock body.4. Wipe clean all parts including the insideof the tailstock.5. Lubricate the quill and tailstock slot witha light-weight oil and apply a smallamount of grease to the quill threads.6. Reassemble.Troubleshooting GuideProblemExcessive vibration.Possible Cause and SolutionOut of balance, or large work piece. Reduce lathe speed to the lowestspeed possible and turn the work piece to a true circle. Adjusting thespeed using the up / down keys will change the speed in 10 rpmincrements try adjusting the speed up or down you will find that it is easyto find speed points that will minimize vibration and is one of the biggestadvantages of DVR technology.Work piece is not held in the center. Check work piece mounting andcorrect.Work piece is not secure or held tight enough. Check work piecemounting and correct.Lathe incorrectly bolted to stand or bench. Refer to this manual for lathestand recommendations.Stand or bench not well constructed, too light, or standing incorrectly onthe floor. Make sure the stand is solidly constructed.

Troubleshooting Guide continuedProblemDifficulty in Adding BedExtensions.Tailstock andheadstock center notlining up correctly.Possible Cause and SolutionThe alignment pins for the bed extension can be a very tight fit - to helpensure accurate bed/tailstock alignment. Try putting the pins in thefreezer overnight, and heating up the bed segments with a hot air gun ordryer. This slightly shrinks the pins and expands the holes they go into.Note: The Tailstock on the DVR3000 is non-adjustable.Bed incorrectly bolted to stand causing twist. Ensure stand and lathe arecorrectly installed.Headstock not returned to detent position after it has been rotated.Ensure that the headstock is locked into a detent position.Headstock Lockpin not fully seated. Twist the headstock back and forthto make sure it is properly seated and then tighten the Lockpin.Dirt or wood dust accumulated in the headstock swivel pin hole. Removethe Headstock Lockpin and clean out hole.Tailstock Handwheelhard to turn or will notturn.Tailstock quillhard to move.Tailstock not lockingcorrectly onto bed, ortailstock not slidingsmoothly on bed ways.Tailstock binds.Tailstock jumps wherebed sections join.Quill lock is locked; unlock the quill lock. If necessary, lightly tap a blockof wood against the handwheel handle; tap the handle in a clockwisedirection as viewed from the tailstock end.Build up of dust and wood resin on the quill or inside of the handwheelthread. Remove, clean, and lubricate the quill and tailstock as describedunder "Cleaning the Tailstock".The quill has been extended too far and is locked against the handwheel.Push the quill back into the tailstock when turning the handwheel.Quill lock is locked; unlock the quill lock.The quill is damaged; turn the handle to expose the quill and check formarks along the quill, especially on the edges of the slotted keywayRemove the high spots with a smooth file and test the quill travel.Replace the quill if necessary.Tailstock adjustment plate not adjusted correctly; adjust as describedunder "Aligning the Tailstock".Dirty bed ways and underside of tailstock body. Clean bed ways andunderside of tailstock body with a petroleum-based solvent.The inside of the bed has a high spot. File the area with a smooth flat fileuntil the tailstock moves freely.The tailstock adjustment plate has a rough spot or a burr. Remove thetailstock and file the plate with a smooth flat file.The machined flat surfaces are not flush. File the area with a smooth flatfile until the tailstock moves freely.26 101-0505-002
