Skew Chisel - (B) Fig 26 - used for smoothing cylinders, cutting shoulders, beads, and V-grooves. SpindleTurning - Working with any material that is attached to the lathe centers. Spur - Attaches to the work;piece and causes the workpiece to turn. -
Page 12: Centering The Work
Many turners use beeswax, tallow, or a wax-and-oil mixture as a lubricant. A ball bearing center is ideal because it eliminates lubricating. If the work is to be removed from the lathe before completion, an index mark should be made as a guide for re-centering (Fig. -
Page 13: Roughing A Cylinder
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 speed and hold the gouge in the manner shown in Fig. 33 The cut starts about 2 inches from the tailstock end and continues from this point to the end of the tailstock. -
Page 14: Using The Parting Tool
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. - Page 15 Cutting beads quickly and accurately with the small skew is Fig. 47 Fig. 48 one of the most difficult lathe operations. Various working methods can be used . The first cut is a vertical incision at the point where the two curved surfaces will eventually come together.
- Page 16 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.

Page 17: Faceplate Turning
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. - Page 18 Fig. 68 illustrates a typical inboard faceplate turning set-up. Inboard faceplate turning is used mostly when the workpiece (A) will rotate freely over the lathe bed. The workpiece (A) is mounted to a faceplate and the faceplate is threaded onto the spindle.
