Bowl Turning - Jet JWL-1221VS Operating Instructions Manual

may require kerfs cut into the spur drive end of stock
(see Fig 13).
Mount the centred workpiece between the spur drive centre
and the tailstock mounted live centre
Turn the tailstock hand wheel until the live centre well
penetrates the workpiece. Reverse the hand wheel by one
quarter turn and lock the tailstock spindle.
Turn the workpiece by hand to see if it rests securely between
centres and can be rotated freely.
For turning between centres the tool rest is set approximately
3mm higher than centre line (Fig 14 and 15).

6.5 Bowl turning

Turn outside of bowl between centres.
Turn a short tenon the size of the hole in the faceplate
(T, Fig 16). This will allow centring the workpiece.
Mount the workpiece (A, Fig 17) directly to the face plate
using 4 wood screws (C) from the back. Be careful to use
screws short enough not to interfere with the cutting process
but long enough to hold the workpiece securely to the face
plate.
If screw mounting is not allowed at all, the work may be glued
to a backing block (D) and the backing block screwed to the
face plate. A piece of paper in the glue joint will prevent
damaging the wood when separated later.
Mount the face plate with the workpiece already attached
onto the spindle nose thread and hand tighten.
If reversing spindle rotation, make sure face plate, chuck or
other work holding is secured with the set screws, to avoid
threading loose.
Move tailstock away, remove centre from tailstock to prevent
injury.
Turn the workpiece by hand to see if it rests securely and can
be rotated freely.
For face plate turning the tool rest is set slightly lower than
centre line.
