SPINDLE
TURNING
If you have never done
any amount
of wood turning,
we sug-
gest that you practice
using the various
wood
turning
tools.
Start with a small spindle
turning.
Be sure
to study the following
pages
of this manual.
They
explain
and illustrate
the correct
use of the turning
tools, the
positioning
of the tool rest,
and other
information
to help you
gain experience.
Select
a piece of wood
2" x 2" x 12".
Draw diagonal
lines on each end to locate
the centers.
Diagonal Lines on
Both Ends
Figure 14
On one end,
make a saw cut approximately
_/,6" deep
on
each diagonal
line. This is for the spur center.
The other end uses the bearing
center.
Place
the point of
the bearing
center
on the wood
where
the diagonal
lines
cross.
Drive the bearing
center
into the wood. Use a wooden
mal-
let or a plastic
hammer,
but put a piece of wood on the end
of the bearing
center
to protect
it from harm.
Figure 15
Remove
the bearing
center
and drive the spur center
into
the other end of the wood.
Make sure the spurs are in the
saw cuts. Remove
the spur
center.
Make sure the centers
and the hole in the spindle
and the
tail stock
ram are clean.
Insert
the spur center
into the
headstock
and the bearing
center
into the tail stock. Tap
them
in lightly with a piece of wood. Do not drive them
in.
If the tail stock
center
is not of the ball bearing
type, put a
drop of oil or wax on the wood where
it contacts
the cen-
ter. This will lubricate
the wood while
it is turning.
Place the wood between
the centers
and lock the tail stock.
Move the bearing
center
into the wood by turning
the hand
wheel.
Make sure that the bearing
center
and spur center
are "seated"
into the wood in the holes made earlier.
Rotate
the wood by hand while turning
the hand wheel.
Adjust
the tool rest approximately
%" away from the cor-
ners of the wood
and %" above
the center
line. Note the
angled
position
of the tool rest base. Lock the tool rest
base and the tool rest.
