Spindle Turning
Make sure the headstock and tailstock cen-
ters are properly aligned before beginning
any turning operation. See Aligning Centers
on Page 38 for additional instructions on
this procedure. Failure to observe this warn-
ing could result in the workpiece being
thrown from the lathe resulting in serious
personal injury.
2. Using a wood mallet, tap the point of the spur
center into the center of the workpiece on
both ends, leaving an indented center mark.
3. Using a

" deep hole at the
center mark on the end of the workpiece to
be mounted on the headstock spur center.
