MOUNTING THE WORKPIECE
NOTE: When mounting a workpiece, first tap the spur center into the workpiece using a soft mallet before installing into headstock.
A typical bowl mount is shown in Fig. 25. Workpieces can be mounted to the faceplate through the faceplate's four holes using screws appropriate for the type of wood being turned.
Another type of workpiece mount, where the workpiece is fixed between the spur and live centers, is shown in Fig. 26. Here are some tips on this mount:
1.Mount the workpiece by moving the tailstock to a position about 1" or
2.Advance the live center (E) by turning the tailstock crank
(P)Fig. 27 until the center cup makes contact with the workpiece.
3.Do not support the workpiece on the center pin alone. Always have the rim of the center cup imbedded at least 1/8" (3.2 mm) into the workpiece.
4.Lock the quill locking screw (O).
