Grizzly H8259 owner manual Sanding/Finishing, To mount your workpiece to a backing block

Page 23

NOTICE: Only use tap screws or wood screws with non-tapered heads (Figure 28) to attach the faceplate to the workpiece. Do NOT use drywall screws or screws with tapered heads because these can split the faceplate, or the screws may snap off during operation.

mounting faceplate to workpiece.

To mount your workpiece to a backing block:

1.Make the backing block (Figure 29) from a piece of scrap wood that is flat on both sides.

Sanding/Finishing

After turning, the workpiece can be sanded, as shown in Figure 30, and finished (in the same manner) before removing it from the lathe.

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

backing block.

2.Locate and mark the center of both the workpiece and the backing block.

3.Drill a 14" diameter hole through the center of the backing block.

4.Glue the center of the backing block to the center of the workpiece (look through the drilled hole to line up centers), clamp the backing block to the workpiece, and wait for the glue to cure according to the manufactur- er’s recommendation.
