OPERATION
The following directions will give the inexperienced operator a beginning point for common lathe
operations. Practice on scrap material before attempting serious work.
Lathe Tools
Standard wood turning tools come in several
different configurations (Fig. 2 3 ). The majority of
turnings will require the gouge tool (A) Fig. 23. This
round nosed hollow chisel is used for roughing cuts,
cove cuts and other operations. The skew chisel (B) is
a double-ground flat chisel, with an angled end. This
tool is used for smoothing cylinders, for cutting
shoulders, beads, vee grooves, etc. The parting tool
(C) is a double-ground chisel, used for cutting-off, or
for making straight incisions or sizing cuts to any
required diameter. The round nose scraper (D) is used
for mostly hollowing work, while the square-end
scraper is mainly used for the outside of bowls.
Selecting Turning Tools
Lathe tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes and usually fall into five major categories.
•
Gouges
—Main use is for rough cutting,
detail cutting, and cove profiles. The rough gouge
is a hollow, double-ground tool with a round nose,
and the detail gouge is a hollow, double-ground
tool with either a round or pointed nose. Figure 24
shows an example of a gouge.
CAUTION:
Always wear proper personal protection equipment, including
but not limited to, safety eye protection with side shields, face shield, safety
footwear, and leather gloves to protect from, chips, dust, burrs, and slivers.
