Q: Does the Woodzig Model 40268 come with a blade? A: No, the manual states that blades are sold separately to allow users to choose based on material. Recommend a 10” 40-tooth combination blade.

Q: Can I use a dado stack on this model? A: No. The Woodzig Model 40268 manual explicitly prohibits dado stacks due to arbor length. Use a standard blade only.

Q: Why does my manual say “Rev B” but my friend has “Rev D”? A: Woodzig releases revisions without changing the model number. Rev D includes updated belt tensioning instructions and a corrected parts list. Always download the latest revision. Lost your printed copy

Q: How do I move the machine safely? A: Use two people. Lift from the cast-iron base, never from the table or fence. The manual includes a diagram of proper hand placement.

Q: Is the machine suitable for metal cutting? A: No. Wood only. Cutting aluminum or mild steel will destroy the motor and void the warranty.


Based on the model number structure and the "Woodzig" (implying wood-cutting) branding, Model 40268 is most frequently associated with a 10-inch x 18-inch Benchtop Wood Lathe.
