Operation
Use supplied face shield or
similar protection during all operations!
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
Before attempting work on regular stock, use
scrap material to get a feel for the machine.
Lathe Tools
Most turning is accomplished with special
woodworking chisels. They are available
individually or in sets. Below is a list of eight of
the most popular types of chisels:
5/16", 1/2", and 1" Gouge
- a round nose,
hollow chisel for roughing and cove cutting.
1/2" and 1" Skew
- a double ground, flat, and
end ground to an angle used for smoothing
cylinders and cutting shoulders, beads, v-
grooves, etc.
1/2" Diamond Point and 1/2" Round Nose
-
used where their shape fits the contour of the
work.
1/2" Parting Tool
- double-ground chisel used
for cutting-off, straight incisions, and sizing cuts
to any diameter.
Spindle Turning
Most turning on a wood lathe will be between
centers, or spindle turning.
Centering the Work
Preparation of the stock for spindle turning starts
with finding the center of the work piece. The
most common method is the diagonal method.
Draw two lines to opposite corners on each end
of the workpiece (Figure 9). The intersection of
these two lines is the center. Mark both ends of
the stock. Mark the center of each end with a
punch awl for softer wood or drill each end
approximately 1/8" depth for harder woods.
Place the spur center on one end and seat it by
striking with a mallet. Hold the center and work
piece together and prepare to mount between
the spindles.
