Outboard Turning

Outboard turning is a variation of faceplate turn-
ing and is usually done when the stock diameter
is greater than 12". For the size of this particular
lathe and its minimum turning speed, we recom-
mend a maximum diameter of 17".

Figure 46 depicts the lathe setup at 90° for turn-
ing larger workpieces. When turning in this man-
ner, you must use a free standing tool rest (not
included).

Sanding/Finishing

After the turning operations are complete, the
workpiece can be sanded and finished before
removing it from the lathe (see

Figure 47).

Figure 47. Typical sanding operation.

Note: Whenever sanding or finishing, move the
tool rest holder out of the way to increase per-
sonal safety and gain adequate working room.

Keep the lathe tool resting on a tool rest

the ENTIRE time that it is in contact with

workpiece or when preparing to make con-

tact between lathe tool and workpiece.

Otherwise, the spinning workpiece could

force the lathe tool out of your hands or

entangle your hands into the workpiece.

Failure to heed this warning could result in

serious personal injury.

Wrapping the sandpa-

per completely around

the workpiece could pull

your hands into the mov-

ing workpiece and may

cause serious injury.

Never wrap sandpaper

or finishing materials

completely around the

workpiece.
