WOODTURNING OPERATIONS
Read and understand the following pages of this
manual as they explain and illustrate the correct use
of the turning tools, positioning of the tool rest and
other information to help you.
If you are new to woodturning, we suggest that you
practice using the various wood turning chisels
supplied with the wood lathe. Start with small
spindle turning.
SPINDLE TURNING:
Select a piece of softwood approximately 2 x 2 x 12
″
.
Draw diagonal lines on each end of the piece of
wood to locate the centre. See Fig.22.
On one end of the piece of wood drill a 1
/
16
″
hole, 1
/
4
″
deep in the centre. This is for the drive spur. The
uncut end is for the live centre. Place the point of the
live centre on the wood where the diagonal lines
cross. Carefully drive the live centre into the wood
using a wooden mallet or soft faced hammer, place a
piece of wood on the end of the live centre to protect
it. See Fig.23. Now remove the live centre and
carefully drive the drive spur into the opposite end.
Make sure the spurs are in the saw cuts and remove
the drive spur.
Ensure that both the drive spur and live centre are
clean. Insert the drive spur into the headstock and
the live centre into the tailstock, tap them lightly with
a piece of wood. DO NOT DRIVE THEM IN. Ensuring
the diagonally cut end is against the drive spur place
the piece of wood between the centres and lock the
tailstock. See Fig.24. Move the live centre into the
wood by turning the barrel adjustment wheel at the
top of the tailstock. Check that the drive spur and live
centre are “seated” in the holes made previously.
The wood should be rotated by hand while
tensioning the barrel adjustment wheel.
Select the required tool rest and position
approximately
1 ⁄
8
″
away from the corners of the wood
and 1 ⁄
8
″
above the centre line, see Fig.25. Lock the
tool rest and tool rest base in position. Referring to
the speed chart on the pulley cover lock up the
speed for “roughing” 2
″
square turning, up to 18
″
long. Move the v-belt to the required position, rotate
the wood and check that the corners do not strike the
tool rest and that the indexing pin is not engaged.
