Spindle Turning
To set up a spindle turning operation:
1. Find center point of both ends of your
workpiece by drawing diagonal lines from
corner to corner across end of workpiece, as
shown in
Figure 22.
2. Make a center mark by using a wood mallet
and tapping point of spur center into center of
workpiece on both ends.
3. Drill a

" deep hole at center mark on end of
the workpiece to be mounted on headstock
spur center.
4. To help embed spur center into workpiece,
cut
1

" deep saw kerfs in headstock end of
workpiece along diagonal lines marked in
Step 1.
5. If your workpiece is over 2" x 2", cut cor-
ners off workpiece lengthwise to make turn-
ing safer and easier when roughing out
workpiece (see
Figure 23).
Spindle turning is the operation performed when
a workpiece is mounted between centers in the
headstock and tailstock, as shown in
Figure 21.
Bowls, table legs, tool handles, and candlesticks
are typical projects where this operation is used.
