6.2 Tool selection:
Successful wood turning does not result from high speeds,
but rather, from the correct use of turning tools.
A perfect and sharp wood turner tool is a precondition for
professional wood-turning.
Major tools:
Fig 13
Gouge (A, Fig 13)
, used for rapidly cut raw wood into round
stock, for turning bowls and plates, for turning beds, coves
and other detail (Fig 14).
Fig 14
Scraper (B, Fig 13)
, used for diameter scraping and to
reduce ridges.
Skew Chisel (C, Fig 13),
used to make vees, beads, etc. (Fig
15). The bevel of skew is parallel to the cut.
Fig 15
Parting tool (D, Fig 13),
used to cut directly into the material,
or to make a cut off. Also used for scraping and to set
diameters.
6.3 Speed selection:
Use low speeds for roughing and for large diameter work. If
vibrations occur, stop the machine and correct the cause.
See speed recommendations.
