positioning of the tool rest, and other information to help you
gain experience.
1. Select a piece of wood _/_" x 1/_,x 4".
2. Draw diagonal lines on each end to locate the centers,
3. On one end, make a saw cut approx'_mately l/,s" deep on
each diagonal line. This is for the spur center.
4, The other end uses the bearing center. Place the point of the
beating center on the wood where the _agonal lines cross.
5. Drive the bearing center into the wood, Use a wooden
mstlet or a plastic hammer, but put a piece of wood on the
end of the bearing center to protect it from harm.
