faceplates etc.,) can be 'locked' onto the lathe
mandrel, and in the case of chucks have some form of
security device to prevent them 'unwinding' during
reverse operation.

the turning area of the lathe. Do not reach over a
rotating work piece at any time.

10. Do not leave the lathe running unattended; or
leave the machine until everything is stopped.
11. Some turning tools may have specific sharpening
angles that have been determined by the
manufacturers; when re-sharpening, adhere to these
angles to maximise the finish of your work.
