(see Fig 17)
Fig 17
6.2 Tool selection
Successful wood turning does not result from high speeds,
but rather, from the correct use of turning tools.
A perfect and sharp wood turner tool is a precondition for
professional wood-turning.
Major tools:
Fig 18
Gouge (A, Fig 18), used for rapidly cut raw wood into
round stock, for turning bowls and plates, for turning beds,
coves and other detail (Fig 19).
Fig 19
Scraper (B, Fig 18), used for diameter scraping and to
reduce ridges.
Skew Chisel (C, Fig 18), used to make vees, beads, etc.
(Fig 20). The bevel of skew is parallel to the cut.
Fig 20
Parting tool (D, Fig 18), used to cut directly into the
material, or to make a cut off. Also used for scraping and
to set diameters.
6.3 Speed selection:
Use low speeds for roughing and for large diameter work.
If vibrations occur, stop the machine and correct the
cause.
See speed recommendations.

6.4 Turning between centres
With a ruler locate and mark the centre on each end.
Put a dimple in each end of the shock. Extremely hard
woods may require kerfs cut into the spur drive end of
stock
(see Fig 21).
Fig 21
The spur drive centre locks into the cleaned spindle taper
and can be removed with the knockout rod (Fig 22)
Fig 22
Mount the centred work piece between the spur drive
centre and the tailstock mounted live centre
Turn the tailstock hand wheel until the live centre well
penetrates the workpiece. Reverse the hand wheel by one
quarter turn and lock the tailstock spindle.
Turn the workpiece by hand to see if it rests securely
between centres and can be rotated freely.
For turning between centres the tool rest is set
approximately 3mm higher than centre line (Fig 23 and
24).
Fig 23
Fig 24
6.5 Bowl turning
Turn outside of bowl between centres.
Turn a short tenon the size of the hole in the faceplate
(T, Fig 25). This will allow centring the workpiece.
Fig 25
Mount the work piece (A, Fig 26) directly to the face plate
using 4 wood screws (C) from the back. Be careful to use
screws short enough not to interfere with the cutting
process but long enough to hold the workpiece securely to

the face plate.
If screw mounting is not allowed at all, the work may be
glued to a backing block (D) and the backing block
screwed to the face plate. A piece of paper in the glue joint
will prevent damaging the wood when separated later.
Mount the face plate with the workpiece already attached
onto the spindle nose thread and hand tighten.
If reversing spindle rotation, make sure face plate, chuck
or vacuum chuck is secured with the set screws.
Move tailstock away, remove centre from tailstock to
prevent injury.
Turn the workpiece by hand to see if it rests securely and
can be rotated freely.
Fig 26
For face plate turning the tool rest is set slightly lower than
centre line.
Caution:
Cut with your chisel on the left side of the turning centre
only.
Use left hand to control cutting edge of gouge, while right
hand swings tool handle around toward your body (Fig 27).
Fig 27
Try to make one, very light continuous movement from the
rim to the bottom of the bowl to ensure a clean, sweeping
curve through the workpiece.
Move tool support to the exterior to re-define bottom of
bowl.
6.6 Sanding and Finishing
Remove the tool rest and begin with a fine grit sandpaper
(120 grit) and progress through each grit, using only light
pressure.
Use power sanding techniques to avoid concentric
sanding marks.
Finish sanding with 220 grit.
Apply first coat of finish. Allow to dry before sanding again
with 320 or 400 grit sandpaper.
Turn lathe back on and make a separation cut through the
base. Stop at about dia. 80mm and use a fine tooth saw to
separate the bowl from the waste.
Apply additional finish coats and allow to dry before
buffing.
