Page 10: Basic Woodturning
BASIC WOODTURNING The following pages of this manual explain Fig.16. and illustrate the correct use of the turning tools, the tool rest and other information to help you. If you are new to woodturning, we suggest that you practice using various woodturning chisels following the operations listed below. - Page 11 BASIC WOODTURNING USING WOODWORKING CHISELS: Professional woodturning chisels have handles approximately 250mm long. This provides the operator with good grip and leverage. A sharp chisel will be much easier to work with and will give the job a cleaner finish. Fig. 20 shows the six most commonly used types of turning chisel.
- Page 12 BASIC WOODTURNING KNOWING WHEN TO CUT AND WHEN TO Fig.23. SCRAPE There are two different approaches to the work when turning. The first is towards a circumference of the workpiece (eg. When turning down the outer surface of a cylinder or the inner wall of a hollow round box).
- Page 13 BASIC WOODTURNING POSITIONING THE TOOL REST FOR Fig.24. CIRCUMFERENCE TURNING When turning, the object is to pierce the outer surface of the wood to a desired depth, then to hold the chisel steady with the bevel edge parallel to the work circumference, so that the chisel will peel off a shaving at this desired depth.
- Page 14 BASIC WOODTURNING If the tool rest is positioned too far away from Fig.28. the workpiece as shown in Fig.28, the chisel, when correctly held will again be too high on HANDLE KICKED the workpiece.You will also find that you have less leverage on your side of the tool rest and it will be very difficult to hold the chisel.
- Page 15 CUTTING sufficient for home workshop turning, but EDGE ADVANCED other sizes are available (refer to Draper Catalogue). A gouge chisel is normally used for rough circumference turning or turning raw stock down to a cylinder of workable size. It is best used for rapid removal of the...
- Page 16 Fig.38. Two skew chisels 12, 25mm are all that are required for general use although other sizes are available (refer to Draper Catalogue). This chisel is used mostly for making finished cuts, to cut vees and beads and square shoulders. When correctly used, it will produce the best finish that can be obtained with a chisel.
- Page 17 12mm spear point, 12mm round nose and 26mm flat nose. Each of these chisels may be purchased in various sizes, (refer to the Draper Catalogue) for special jobs. All of these are very useful for diameter scraping (see Figs.45, 46, 47) operations and for circumference scraping when cutting methods cannot be employed.
