The tool rest with the auxiliary extension can be

placed in several different angles and positions. Select
the one best suited for your work. Fig. 67 shows the
position normally used for bowls and other outboard
turnings. To move the tool rest on the bed, loosen the
handle (A) Fig. 67 and slide the tool rest to the desired
position, and then tighten the handle. To change the
angle of the tool rest, loosen the handle (B) Fig. 67,
move the auxiliary extension to the desired position,
then retighten. To raise the height of the tool rest, loosen
the handle (C), raise the tool rest to the desired height,
then retighten.

Fig. 68 illustrates a typical inboard faceplate turning

set-up. Inboard faceplate turning is used mostly when
the workpiece (A) will rotate freely over the lathe bed.
The workpiece (A) is mounted to a faceplate and the
faceplate is threaded onto the spindle. Note that the
standard equipment tool rest (B) can be adjusted to turn
the outside diameter of the workpiece. Fig. 69 illustrates
the rough cutting of the inside of a bowl.

Outboard turning is illustrated in Fig. 70. Note that

the headstock (A) is turned 45 degrees and the tool rest
auxiliary extension (B) is attached. Outboard turning
generally is used for larger workpieces, but smaller work
can be accomplished using this technique.
