- Page 22 WL-1624P OPERATION SPEED RECOMMENDATIONS • High range is best when turning a piece where a clean finish is required and only light cuts are made. • Mid range is a compromise between high and low ranges. • Low range, which has more torque, is best when turning a workpiece where a lot of material must be removed and a rough finish does not matter.
- Page 23 OPERATION WL-1624P SPINDLE TURNING Spindle turning is the operation performed when a workpiece is mounted between centres. Bowls, table legs, tool handles, and candle sticks are typical projects where this operation is used. To set up a spindle turning operation: Find the centre point of both ends of your workpiece by drawing diagonal lines from corner to corner of the workpiece.
- Page 24 WL-1624P OPERATION SPINDLE TURNING TIPS • When turning the lathe ON, stand away from the path of the spinning workpiece until the spindle reaches full speed and you can verify that the workpiece will not come loose. • Use the slowest speed when starting or stopping the lathe.
- Page 25 WL-1624P OPERATION Always work towards the end of the workpiece. Never start a cut at the end. Make long sweeping cuts in a continuous motion to turn the workpiece to a cylinder. Keep as much of the bevel of the tool in contact with the workpiece as possible to ensure control and avoid catches.
- Page 26 WL-1624P OPERATION CREATING V-GROVES Using the point of the skew to create a V-groove in the workpiece. Lightly mark the centre of the V with the top of the skew. Move the point of the skew to the right half of the desired width of your cut.
- Page 27 WL-1624P OPERATION Flatten one of the surfaces of the workpiece for mounting against the face plate. Using the face plate as a template, mark the location of the mounting holes on the workpiece and drill pilot holes of the appropriate size.
- Page 28 WL-1624P OPERATION WOODTURNING TOOLS Fig. O1 The Roughing Gouge For rough cutting, detail cutting, and cove profiles. The rough gouge is a hollow, double-ground tool with a round nose. The detail gouge is a hollow, double-ground tool with either a round or pointed nose.
