Page 10: Tools
TOOLS If possible, select only quality, high speed steel turning tools. High speed tools hold an edge and last longer than ordinary carbon steel. As one becomes proficient in turning, a variety of specialty tools for specific applications can be acquired. The following tools provide the basics for most woodturning projects: Large Roughing Gouge - 1"... -
Page 11: Spindle Turning
SPINDLE TURNING Spindle turning takes place between the centers of the lathe. It requires a spur or drive center in the headstock and a revolving or live center in the tailstock. A cup center rather than a cone center will reduce the risk of splitting the stock. -
Page 12: Cutting Techniques
Rotate workpiece by hand to check for proper clearance. Start lathe at lowest speed and bring it up to the appropriate RPM for the size of stock used (refer to table on page 9). CUTTING TECHNIQUES ROUGHING OUT: Begin with a large roughing gouge. Place the tool on the tool support with the heel of the tool on the surface to be cut. -
Page 13: Parting Off
Lightly mark the center of the "V" with the tip of the skew. Move the point of the skew to the right half of the desired width of your cut. With the bevel parallel to the right side of the cut, raise the handle and push the tool in to the desired depth, as shown in Figure 8. -
Page 14: Faceplate Or Chuck
Lock the tailstock to the bed and advance the spindle in order to seat the cup center into the workpiece. Tighten the quill lock. Position tool support below the centerline and about 1/4" from the workpiece. (NOTE: For larger outboard turning, an optional outboard turning stand is used to place the tool support; see your Powermatic dealer). -
Page 15: To Shape Interior Of Bowl
Turn workpiece by hand to ensure proper clearance. Start lathe at lowest speed and bring it up to the maximum safe speed for the size of work to be turned (see chart on page 9). If the machine starts to vibrate, lower the speed until vibration stops. Rough out the outside of the bowl with the 1/2"... -
Page 16: Sanding & Finishing
SANDING AND FINISHING: Remove the toolrest and adjust lathe speed to approximately 500 RPM. High speed can build friction while sanding and cause heat check in some woods. Begin with fine sandpaper (120 grit) and progress through each grit, using only light pressure. Coarser sandpaper tends to leave deep scratches that are hard to eliminate. -

Page 34: Instructions For Mounting Indexing Assembly (Optional Accessory)
Instructions for Mounting Indexing Assembly (Optional Accessory) Remove the handwheel. Loosen the two set screws and slide the handwheel off. If your lathe was purchased before January 1998, you must drill a 1/4" hole into the headstock so that the indexer will work properly. Before the 1/4" hole can be drilled you must first make sure that the 1/4" hole will line up with the holes in the indexer. - Page 35 Locating the stock number of the part(s) required from your parts manual will also expedite your order.
