too] rest parallel to the face of the work piece as
shown in Figure 6, and adjust the height so that the
cutis taken at the centerline of the piece. Facing is
generally accomplished with the chisel at right angles
to the w0rk piece taking somewhat of a scraping cut.
For face plate turning, the chisel should be placed
so that the work turns down into it. In other words,
cut to the left of center as shown in Fig. 6.
For further information or suggestions on the
operation of the Lathe refer to the Wood Lathe
manual which came with the tool.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Do not operate the lathe while wearing loose sleeves,
dangling neckties, or any other type of loose clothing
that might become entangled in the revolving work.
After setting the work up in the lathe, double
cheek to be sure •that it is mounted securely. Fast
spinning pieces may cause serious damage if they
break loose as a result of careless mounting. Always
spin the work by hand before applying power.
Always use the tool rest when cutting with the
chisels. Keep the tool rest close to the work, and keep
the chisels Sharp. Do not be afraid of high speeds
on ordinary spiridle work.
It is recommended that you install a motor switch
at the lef(hand end of the lathe for quick power

When the surface finishing operations (sanding_

with a saw.
TURNING FLAT WORK:
Surface turning on fiat work such as ash trays and
lamp bases, may be accomplished by attaching the
work piece directly t0 a face plate with short screws;
or by gluing the piece to a wo0d bacliing plate Which
