G0456 Variable Speed Wood Lathe

9. Position the tool rest approximately

⁄4" away

from the workpiece and approximately

⁄8"

above the center line, as shown in

Figure

26.

10. Test the setup by hand-turning the workpiece

to make sure there is enough clearance all

the way around before starting.

Spindle Turning Tips:

• When turning the lathe ON, stand to the side

of the spinning direction until the lathe reach-

es full speed and you can verify that the lathe

will not throw the workpiece.

• Use the slowest speed when starting or stop-

ping the lathe, and when rough cutting.

• Select the right speed for the size of workpiece

you are turning. Use slower speeds for

large workpieces (4" diameter and over); use

the middle range speeds for medium sized

workpieces (2" to 4" diameter); and use faster

speeds for small sized workpieces (under 2"

in diameter).

• Keep the turning tool on the tool rest the

ENTIRE time that it is in contact with the

workpiece.

• Learn the correct techniques for each tool

you will use. If you are unsure, read books or

magazines about lathe techniques and seek

training from experienced users.

Figure 27. Typical faceplate turning operation.

Faceplate turning (Figure 27) is when a workpiece

is mounted to the faceplate, which is mounted to

the headstock spindle. This type of turning is usu-

ally done with open-faced workpieces like bowls.

Faceplate Turning

To mount your workpiece to the faceplate:

1. Find the center of your workpiece in the same

manner as when spindle turning.

2. Trim corners off the workpiece with a bandsaw

to easily remove known waste.

3. Center the faceplate on the workpiece and

attach it through the faceplate holes with

screws, as shown in

Figure 28.

WARNING: USING FLAT HEAD STYLE

SCREWS INCREASES THE RISK OF

INJURY FROM THE WORKPIECE COMING

LOOSE. ONLY USE ROUND HEAD STYLE

SCREWS TO SECURE THE WORKPIECE

TO THE FACEPLATE.
