Outboard Turning
Outboard turning is a variation of faceplate turn- ing and is usually done when stock diameter is greater than 12''. For the size of the Model G0462 and its minimum turning speed, we recommend a maximum diameter of 17'' for outboard turning.
The lathe setup at 90˚ for outboard turning uses the tool rest with the pivot arm extended, as shown in Figure 38.

Figure 39 depicts the lathe setup at 180˚ for out- board turning.
Sanding/Finishing
Using the Lathe
The lathe can be used for finishing procedures after the turning operations are complete and before removing the workpiece from the lathe, such as sanding, polishing, and applying finishes by hand (see Figure 40 for an example).
Note: When using the lathe to sand or finish the workpiece, remove the tool rest to prevent entan- glement hazards. Use the slowest speed for safer control and better results.

Note: When turning in this manner, you must use a free standing tool rest (not supplied).

Sandpaper
Workpiece
Wrapping the sandpa- per completely around the workpiece could pull your hands into the mov- ing workpiece and may cause injury. Never wrap sandpaper completely around the workpiece!
