Spindle Turning

Spindle Turning
Spindle turning is the operation performed when
a workpiece is mounted between the headstock
and the tailstock (see Figure 39).
Figure 39. Typical spindle turning operation.
Make sure the headstock and tailstock cen-
ters are properly aligned before beginning
any turning operation. See Aligning Centers
on Page 38 for additional instructions on
this procedure. Failure to observe this warn-
ing could result in the workpiece being
thrown from the lathe resulting in serious
personal injury.
