Outboard Turning
Outboard turning is a variation of faceplate
turning and is accomplished with the headstock
positioned so the faceplate is not directly over the
bed, allowing a larger turning capacity than the
swing specification of the lathe.
The only way to rotate the headstock on this
machine is to remove it from the bed first, which
can be a heavy and cumbersome task. A much
simpler alternative to removing the headstock is
to remove the tailstock and slide the headstock
to the other end of the bed. This will position the
spindle so it is not directly over the bed whereby
outboard turning can safely be accomplished.
To outboard turn:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove tailstock and tool base from machine
by removing hex nuts and clamp washers
located underneath assemblies, then lifting
them from lathe bed.
3. Loosen headstock, then move it all the way to
tail end of lathe bed, as shown in
Figure 41.
When outboard turning, ALWAYS use a
floor-mounted tool rest and keep tool in
contact with rest during all turning opera-
tions. Failure to do so could cause tool to be
pulled out of operator's control and ejected
at high speed.
4. Re-tighten headstock to bed.

Sanding/Finishing
After the turning operations are complete, the
workpiece can be sanded and finished before
removing it from the lathe, as shown in
Figure 42.

Note: Whenever sanding or finishing, move tool
rest holder out of the way to increase personal
safety and gain adequate working room.
Wrapping sandpa-
per completely around
workpiece could pull
your hands into mov-
ing workpiece and may
cause serious injury.
Never wrap sandpa-
per or finishing materi-
als completely around
