Then, install it on your lathe; its compact and lightweight design makes this an easy job.

When using it, make sure not to overload it beyond its capacity as it may affect its performance and lifespan. To keep it in good shape, regularly clean the bearings to prevent dust and debris from building up. Also, you can apply a light lubricant to the moving parts from time to time. If you notice any unusual noise or reduced smoothness during rotation, it might be time to check the bearings and replace them if necessary.
