SPINDLE TURNING
The following instruction will give a beginner a start on wood lathe operation. Use a piece of wood to check the setting and to get the feel of the operations before attempting regular work.

WARNING Always keep hands away from the Drive center or faceplate when the power is on.

  1. Select a piece of wood.
  2. Draw diagonal lines on each to locate the center. (as figure 1)
  3. On the end, make a saw cut approximately 1/16” deep on each diagonal line. This is for the drive center.A mini hacksaw is useful for this. The other end is for the tail stock center.
  4. Use a wooden (rubber)mallet or plastic hammer, to drive the tail stock center into the wood.Remove the tail stock center.(as figure 2)
  5. Drive the drive center into the other end of the wood. Make sure the spurs are in the saw cuts. Remove the drive center.
  6. Clean the centers, the thread of the driving spindle, and the thread hole of the tail stock body. Install the drive center into the driving spindle and the tail stock center into the tail stock body.
  7. Place the wood between the centers and lock the tail stock body.
  8. Move the tail stock center into the wood by turning the hand wheel. Make sure that the driving center and drive center are” seated” into the wood in the holes made in steps 4 and 5. Rotate the wood by hand while turning the hand wheel.
  9. Adjust the tool rest approximately 1/8” away from the corners of the wood and 1/8” above the center line. Lock the tool rest base and tool rest.(as figure 3)
  10. Rotate the wood by hand to make sure that the comers do not strike the tool rest.
  11. Review the speed setting suggested in the speed selection chart.
  12. Readjust frequently as in step 9 as the stock diameter is reduced.VEVOR-MCS1000-Benchtop-Wood-Lathe-fig-16

HAND POSITION
The position of your hands on the tool will be determined by the amount of leverage required. The tool rest hand position is normally in a palm-up grip. The first finger acts as a guide, sliding along a tool rest as the cut is made.The palm-down grip can be utilized for heavy roughing applications. The heel of the hand or the little finger will serve as a guide.

ROUGHING A SPINDLE CYLINDER
The large gouge is used for this turning operation. Run the lathe at a low speed for this operation. The cut should start about 2” from the end of the tail stock and will continue back toward the tail stock end. Each corresponding cut will take place about 3”to the left side of the first cut. This will continue until you reach a position 2” from the headstock center. You will then roll the gouge in the opposite direction, which will carry the cut to the end of the spindle.

HOW TO USE A PARTING TOOL
The parting tool has one primary purpose: to cut straight into the workpiece as deep as desired or all the way through to make a cut-off. It is, therefore,a very narrow tool(1/8” wide) and is shaped to cut its own clearance so that the edge will not be burned. When used for scraping, however, it should be backed off regularly to prevent overheating.
Unlike the gouge and skew, the parting tool is seldom held with the bevel against the work. As the amount of stock removed is small, support for the bevel is not necessary. The tool is simply fed into the work at an angle(for cutting) , or pointed at the workpiece center(for scraping).

HOW TO USE A SKEW
This tool is nearly always used to make finished cuts, to cut vees and beads, or to square shoulders. Properly used, it produces the best finish that can be obtained with a chisel. It should be used very little for scraping , as this quickly dulls it. For finish cutting, the skew is held with the cutting edge considerably in advance of the handle, bevel side down. Keep the skew well over the work, pull it back until the edge begins to cut, then swing the handle into position to advance the cut. Both the toe and the heel of the skew can be used for taking light cuts. Do not penetrate the wood too deeply without cutting clearances, as there is the danger of burning the tip of the tool.

CUTTING A SHOULDER
A shoulder can be the side of a square portion left in the workpiece, the side of a turned section, or the end of the workpiece. Most shoulders are perpendicular to the work axis, but a shoulder can be at any angle. First, mark the position of the shoulder with a pencil held to the revolving workpiece. Then make a sizing cut via the parting tool, placing the cut about 1/16” outside the shoulder position. Cut to within 1/8” of the depth desired for the area outside the shoulder. If the shoulder is shallow, the toe of the skew can be used to make the sizing cut. Do not go in deeper than 1/8” with the skew unless wider vees are cut to provide clearance for the tool. Use the gouge to remove any waste stock outside of the shoulder. Smooth the section up to within 1/8” of the shoulder. Unless it is more than 1” high, it is best done with the 1/2” skew. First, use the toe of the skew to remove the shavings from the side of the shoulder down to the finished size. Hold the skew so the bottom edge of the bevel next to the shoulder will be very nearly parallel to the side of the shoulder. Make sure this is with the cutting edge turned away at the top so that only the extreme toe will do the cutting.If the cutting edge is flat against the shoulder the chisel will run. Start with the handle low and then raise it to advance the toe into the work. Cut down to a finished diameter of the outside area, then clean out the corner by advancing the heel of the skew into it along the surface of the outside area. Tilt the cutting edge, with the handle raised up, so that only the extreme heel does the cutting if the shoulder is at the end of work, the process is called” squaring the end.” In this case, reduce the outer portion to a diameter about 1/4” larger than the tool center diameter. Saw off the waste stock later.

CUTTING COVES
Use a pencil mark to indicate the edges. Then rough it out to within about 1/8” of the desired finish surface by scraping with the gouge or round nose chisel. If the cove is to be very wide, sizing cuts can be made to plot the roughing out. Once it is roughed out, the cove can be finished in two cuts; one from each side to the bottom center. At the start of either cut, the gouge is held with the handle high, and the two sides of the blade are held between the thumb and forefinger of the tool rest handle, just behind the bevel. Position the fingers ready to roll the blade into the cove. Hold the blade so that the bevel is a 90-degree angle to the work axis, with the point touching the pencil line and pointed into work axis. From this start, depress the point slightly to start cutting, then continue to move the point down in an area toward the bottom center cove. At the same time, toll chisel uniformly so that, at the end of the cut, it will be flat at the bottom of the cove. The object is to keep the extreme point of the gouge doing the cutting from start to finish. Reverse movements to cut the opposite side.

CUTTING VEES
Vee grooves can be cut with either the toe or heel of the skew. When the toe is used, the cutting action is exactly the same as in trimming a shoulder, except that the skew is tilted to cut at the required bevel. Light cuts should be taken on one side first, then the other, gradually enlarging the vee to the required depth and width. When the heel is used, the skew is rotated down into the work, using the tool rest as a pivot. Otherwise, the cutting position and sequence of cuts is the same.As when using the toe, it is important that cutting be done only by the extreme end of the cutting edge.If deep vees are planned, it is quicker to start them by making a sizing cut at the center of each vee. Vees can also be scraped with the spear point chisel or a three- sided file.

LAYING OUT THE PROJECT
Make a layout first, to provide a visual pattern to follow while working the turning. The pattern can be laid out in the same manner as spindle patterns. Templates can be held against the work for visual comparison. Circles to locate the various critical points can be quickly scribed on the rotating work by using the dividers.

TURNING THE PROJECT
The first step is to remove as much wood as possible by boring into the center with the largest wood bit available. Be careful to measure in advance the depth to which the drill can be allowed to go. Next, remove the bulk of the waste by scraping it with the round-nose scraper or the bowl gouge. Remove up to within 1/8” of the finished size in this manner. Finish off the inside circumference by scraping with the round nose or left round scraper. Smooth the bottom of the recess by scraping it with flat flat-nose scraper. Always try to position the part of the tool rest that supports the tool as close to the working surface as possible.

MOUNTING WORKPIECE TO THE FACEPLATE
You can directly mount the faceplate to the workpiece by fastening four(or eight) wood screws(sold separately). This is an easy process that should be used whenever possible.

WARNING
Always make sure the workpiece is securely fastened to the faceplate or between centers.When the faceplate is turned always make sure the screw fasteners do not come in contact with the turning tool as work progresses

FACEPLATE TURNING
Turning which do not mount between centers require a faceplate for holding the workpiece.All workpiece of this type should slightly over-size to eliminate roughing cuts and vibration.
