able for turning. No extreme bows, knots, or
cracks should exist.
2. Prepares and trims workpiece to make it
roughly concentric.
3. Installs workpiece between centers, or attach-
es it to faceplate or chuck.
4. Adjusts tool rest to
1
⁄
8
" above workpiece cen-
terline, and sets minimum clearance between
the workpiece and lip of tool rest to
1
⁄
4
".
5. Rotates workpiece by hand to verify that the
spindle and workpiece rotate freely through-
out the range of motion.
6. Positions dust collection hood near work
piece to collect wood chips secure in place.
7. Ties back loose hair and clothing, and puts
on face shield and respirator. Takes all other
required safety precautions.

fully begins turning operation, keeping chisel
against tool rest entire time it is cutting.
