functional Overview
a wood lathe is used to turn wood stock. the
primary components of the wood lathe are the
headstock, the tailstock, and the tool rest.
For most turning procedures, a round or nearly-
round workpiece is clamped between the head-
stock spur center and the tailstock live center.
the tool rest is positioned to provide stability to
the chisel or other cutting tool while it is pressed
into the workpiece. the lathe is turned ON, which
causes the spindle to rotate. pressing the cut-
ting tool into the workpiece while it is turning
cuts grooves around the circumference of the
stock. Moving the cutting tool along the length
of the workpiece allows the user to shape the
workpiece into perfect cylinders, tapers, and intri-
cate designs.
another option is faceplate turning. Faceplate
turning is be used to create plates, bowls, and
other shallow or open-faced forms. in this method,
the tailstock is moved completely out of the way
and the workpiece is attached to the faceplate on
the headstock. again, the tool rest is positioned to
provide support to the cutting tool. the outboard
turning attachment on the Model g0658 provides
the option for turning large workpieces without the
lathe bed interfering with the operation.
once a rough shape is created on the lathe, it can
be sanded smooth by moving the tool rest out of
the way and carefully sanding along the length of
the workpiece while the lathe is rotating.
to allow for greater versatility, the spindle speed
can be adjusted by repositioning the belt position
in the head stock and by turning the speed adjust-
ment knob on the control panel.
