spindle turning, rough out the workpiece
using the conventional lathe tools and lathe
tool rest. Use lowest speed when starting -
never exceed recommended speed on lathe
"spindle speed" chart.
Before attempting to copy (duplicate) a
faceplate turning, saw the corners off the
workpiece.
.
Do not force the cutting tool into the re-
volving workpiece, or attempt to take a
heavy cut. This could damage the workpiece
or cause it to come out of the lathe. This is
especially true of long workpieces of small
diameter.
Always take light cuts and make sure that
the centers are seated properly in the work-
piece.
Wear safety goggles at all times. Wear face
shield or mask if operation is dusty.
4. Stop operation immediately if the turning
vibrates or if abnormal noise occurs.
Mount the workpiece (see "Getting to Know
Your Copy-Crafter"). Use lowest speed when
starting - never exceed recommended speed
on Lathe "spindle speed" chart. Use con-
ventional lathe tools and toot rest to turn
periphery, Use conventional lathe tools and
too! rest (or Bowl Turning Tool Rest -
Cat. No. 9-24903) for internal turnings deeper
than 3/4 inches.
5. Tighten all screws, nuts and Iocknuts
securely before operating.
6. Note and follow the instructions found on

12. SHARPENING STONE...is provided for frequent
sharpening of the Cutting Tool REMEMBER THAT
WHEN THE TOOL 1S SHARP, HALF OF THE JOB IS
DONE,
Apply a generous amount of light household oil (Do
not use motor 0il) to the stone, and with a circular
motion hone the entire rounded edge of the toot while
holding it firmly.
Make sure the stone is afways in contact with the entire
length of the rounded end...do not just hone the
poi nt,
Honing will cause a burr to appear on the tip of the tool
which must be removed.
Hold the tool firmly while carefully sliding the stone
straight up and down in the groove on the top side until
the burr is removed. A slight burr may now appear on
the rounded end which must be removed.
Repeat honing the rounded end and the groove until
the burr disappears.
Always move the stone in a straight line...do not "rock
it," otherwise you will "round over" the cutting edge
and the tool will be dull. j/
_,_, , , ,,,,,,,, iii
I3. CENTER SCREW...is a large pointed screw 1-1/4
inches Song with a hexagon head that contains a
screwdriver slot. It is used for attaching the workpiece
to either the 4 or the 6 inch diameter faceplate which is
fitted with a"backing."
Make the backing out of one of the following:
a. 3/4 inch thick hardwood, or
b. 3/4 inch thick plywood, or
c. 2 pieces of 3/8 inch plywood glued together, or
d, 3 pieces of 1/4 inch plywood glued together. Cut
the wood approximately 1/2 inch larger in diameter
than the faceplate.

11/64 INCH DIAMETER HOLE
BACKING
/
Cut two slots I80 ° apart to fit the tip of the
screwdriver_ This will allow you to hold the Faceplate
while unscrewing the workpiece.
Attach the Backing to the Faceptate with three ##12 or
#14x3/4 inca flathead wood screws.
TUrn the backing round and true up the face so that it
is approximately 1/32 inch low in the center.
With the Lathe running at 2:250 R.P.M. make amark in
the center and drill a1t/64 inch diameter hole all the
way through. Jf you do not have achuck for your wood
lathe, drill the hole with a drifi press or a portable drill.
DO NOT REMOVE THE BACKING FROM THE
FACEPLATE. If you do, it wiIJ be difficult to replace it
in exactly the same position on the Faceplate.
Screw the CENTER SCREW tight}y into the center hole
in the backing,
To make sure that the workpiece does not rotate
around the Center Screw, drill a 3/16 inch diameter
hole through :the backing _t one of the vacant screw
holes in the Faceplate, Insert a-#'Bo_" #8 wood screw, 1
inch long, a_d screw it into the: Workpiece. When
