• When turning the lathe
ON
, stand away from the
path of the spinning workpiece until the spindle
reaches full speed and you can verify that the
workpiece will not come loose.
• Use the slowest speed when starting or stopping the
lathe.
• Select the right speed for the size of workpiece that
you are turning (refer to
Figure.27.
on
Page.30
).
• Keep the turning tool on the tool rest the ENTIRE
time that it is in contact with the workpiece.
• Learn the correct techniques for each tool you
will use. If you are unsure about how to use the
lathe tools, read books or magazines about lathe
techniques, and seek training from experienced and
knowledgeable lathe users.
