8 ASSEMBLING THE ST AND 1. Attach the two long tie bars (A) Fig. 3 (with the flanges up) to the center of each stand leg (B) by using eight carriage bolts through the legs and tie bars, secur ed by flat washers, lockwashers, and hex nuts. NOTE: Hand-tighten the hardwar e for further adjustment.
9 HEADSTOCK SPUR CENTER The 46-715 comes with a faceplate attached. Before inserting the spur center in the spindle, remove this faceplate. Insert the knockout bar (A) Fig. 10 in the side hole of the spindle (B) Fig. 10 to hold the spindle in place. Use the supplied wrench (C) Fig.
10 ADJUSTING CLAMP ON TOOL REST T o adjust the tool rest clamping action, use a 15/16" wr ench to adjust the nut (A) Fig. 16 in the same manner as the headstock and tailstock. A TT ACHING ON/OFF SWITCH TO TOOL The "ON/OFF" switch comes unattached to the tool to protect it fr om damage in shipping.
11 ACTIV A TING THE SPINDLE IMPORT ANT : Unlock the spindle lock BEFORE operating the tool. The unlocked position is shown in Fig. 23A while the locked position is shown in Fig. 23B. CHANGING SPEED RANGES IMPORT ANT : Change speeds ONL Y when the tool is running.
12 HOW TO TURN SPINDLES Spindle turning is the principal type of wood tur ning (chair and table legs, lamp stems, etc.) The turning of spindles can be done with either a scraping or cutting technique. The cutting technique, by virtue of faster wood removal and a cleaner surface, is the p r eferred method.
13 TOOL REST POSITION Mount the tool rest in place about 1/8” away from the work and 1/8” above the work centerline (Fig. 32.) This position may vary to suit both you and the work. Place a guide mark on the tool rest shank as an aid to quick and accurate r esetting.
14 SMOOTHING A CYLINDER T o smooth a cylinder , use a large skew chisel. This requir es practice, but experience with this tool is very important. Place the cutting point near the c enter of chisel and high on the work (Fi g.
15 CUTTING A SHOULDER Use the parting tool first to reduce the wood to within 1/16” of the requir ed shoulder and diameter (Fig. 43). Clean the waste stock out with the gouge (Fig. 45A), then use the skew for the actual cutting of the shoulder (Figs.
16 VEE GROOVES Cutting the vee groove demands much the same technique as the bead, except that the skew is hinged straight into the work without rotation (Fig. 51). Only one-half of the vee is made at a time, and one, two, or more cuts may be needed on each side to obtain the desired shape.
17 Place the gouge on edge on the tool rest so that the grind of the chisel forms an approximate right angle with the work (Fig. 57). The chisel contacts the work at the center of the cutting edge. Hold the tool so that the centerline of the gouge is pointing directly towar d the center of the revolving stock.
18 MOUNTING THE WORKPIECE TO THE F ACEPLA TE Fig. 63 shows direct mounting to the 3” faceplate along with attaching to the backing block. Because of the ease of setting up, use this mounting whenever the work permits. Hold lar ger pieces in the same way by using the 6” faceplate.
19 8. Fig. 69 illustrates the rough cutting of the inside of a bowl. 9. 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.
