Sanding & Finishing
Leaving clean cuts will reduce the amount of
sanding required. Begin with a fine sandpaper
(120 grit or finer). Coarser sandpaper will leave
deep scratches that are difficult to remove, and
dull crisp details. Fold the sandpaper into a
pad; do not wrap sandpaper around your fingers
or the workpiece.
To apply a finish, the workpiece can be left
on the lathe. Turn off lathe and use a brush, or
cloth to apply the finish. Remove excess finish
before restarting lathe. Allow to dry and sand
again with 320, or 400 grit sandpaper. Apply
additional coats of finish and buff.
Face Plate & Bowl Turning
Face plate turning is normally done on the
inboard side of the headstock over the bed see
Figure 19. You must pivot the headstock 180°
for larger workpieces.
Mounting Stock
Use of a face plate is the most common method
for holding a block of wood for turning bowls,
and plates.
1. Select stock at least 1/8" to 1/4" larger than
the dimension on the desired finished
workpiece.
2. True one surface of the workpiece for
mounting against the face plate. It is best
to leave extra stock against the face plate
that can be cut off when the workpiece is
finished.
3. Using the face plate as a template, mark the
location of the mounting holes, and drill pilot
holes of the appropriate size. If the
mounting screws on the face plate interfere
with the workpiece, a waste block can be
mounted to the face plate and then the
waste block mounted to the workpiece by
gluing or screwing, see Figure 20.
4. Both waste block and workpiece should
have good flat surfaces.
5. Push in on the spindle lock and thread face
plate and workpiece onto the spindle.
Tighten set screws in the face plate when
secure.
