ACTIVATING THE SPINDLE IMPORTANT: Unlock the spindle lock BEFORE operating the tool. The unlocked position is shown in Fig. 23A while the locked position is shown in Fig. 23B. CHANGING SPEED RANGES IMPORTANT: Change speeds ONLY when the tool is running. This tool provides variable rate spindle speeds from 600 to 2200 RPM. To change speeds, depress the release (A) Fig. 24 and rotate the lever (B). Turning the lever clockwise increases the speed while turning it counter-clockwise decreases the spe

HOW TO TURN SPINDLES Spindle turning is the principal type of wood turning (chair and table legs, lamp stems, etc.) The turning of spindles can be done with either a scraping or cutting technique. The cutting technique, by virtue of faster wood removal and a cleaner surface, is the preferred method. CENTERING THE WORK Wood stock for any spindle turning should be approximately square, and the ends should be square with the sides. Two common methods of determining the center are shown in Figs. 27

TOOL REST POSITION Mount the tool rest in place about 1/8” away from the work and 1/8” above the work centerline (Fig. 32.) This position may vary to suit both you and the work. Place a guide mark on the tool rest shank as an aid to quick and accurate resetting. Clamp the tool rest firmly before operating the lathe. ROUGHING A CYLINDER The large gouge is used in the first turning operation by smoothing the sharp corners of the work. Run the lathe at low Fig. 32 speed and hold the gouge in the ma

SMOOTHING A CYLINDER To smooth a cylinder, use a large skew chisel. This requires practice, but experience with this tool is very important. Place the cutting point near the center of chisel and high on the work (Fig. 38). Sometimes, in striving for a certain position in relation to the work, the beginner will often overlook this all-important point. Raising the handle will increase the depth of cut while lowering the handle, of course, does the opposite. As with the gouge, you can advance the s

CUTTING A SHOULDER Use the parting tool first to reduce the wood to within 1/16” of the required shoulder and diameter (Fig. 43). Clean the waste stock out with the gouge (Fig. 45A), then use the skew for the actual cutting of the shoulder (Figs. 45A and 45B), which is a duplication of squaring an end.The skew then makes the horizontal cut, but in a different manner from plain cylinder work. If the shoulder is long, use the ordinary skew position for Fig. 43 Fig. 44 the outer portion of the cut.

VEE GROOVES Cutting the vee groove demands much the same technique as the bead, except that the skew is hinged straight into the work without rotation (Fig. 51). Only one-half of the vee is made at a time, and one, two, or more cuts may be needed on each side to obtain the desired shape. As in all cutting with the skew, use the bevel next to the cut as a fulcrum. Be careful not to allow the full edge of the chisel to catch and cause a run. Vee grooves can also be made with the toe of the skew, i

Place the gouge on edge on the tool rest so that the grind of the chisel forms an approximate right angle with the work (Fig. 57). The chisel contacts the work at the center of the cutting edge. Hold the tool so that the centerline of the gouge is pointing directly toward the center of the revolving stock. This starting position is important to prevent the gouge from running along the surface of the work. From the starting position, push the gouge into the revolving stock, and roll the tool on

MOUNTING THE WORKPIECE TO THE FACEPLATE Fig. 63 shows direct mounting to the 3” faceplate along with attaching to the backing block. Because of the ease of setting up, use this mounting whenever the work permits. Hold larger pieces in the same way by using the 6” faceplate. When normal screw- fastenings interfere, mount the work on a backing block (Fig. 63). When screws are not permissible at all, glue the work to the backing block by fitting a sheet of paper at the joint to allow later separati
