Spindle Turning Tips:
• When turning the lathe ON, stand away from
the path of the spinning workpiece until the
spindle reaches full speed and you can verify
that the workpiece will not come loose.
• use the slowest speed when starting or stop-
ping the lathe.
• select the right speed for the size of workpiece
that you are turning (refer to
figure 28 on
page 25).
• Keep the turning tool on the tool rest the
eNtire time that it is in contact with the
workpiece.
• learn the correct techniques for each tool
you will use. if you are unsure about how to
use the lathe tools, read books or magazines
about lathe techniques, and seek training
from experienced and knowledgeable lathe
users.

to the faceplate, which is then mounted to the
headstock spindle, as shown in

type of turning is usually done with open-faced
workpieces like bowls or plates.

Mounting the Workpiece onto the
faceplate
1. mark the workpiece center in the same man-
ner as described in Spindle Turning (see
page 27).
Note: Cut off corners of the workpiece to make
it as close to "round" as possible as described
in
Spindle Turning (see Page 27).
2. Center the faceplate on the workpiece and
attach it, as shown in figure 40, with wood
screws that do not have tapered heads (see
figure 41).
