Select the right speed for the size of workpiece
that you are turning (refer to Page 33).
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 about how to
use the lathe tools, read books or magazines
