A wood lathe is used to turn wood stock. The primary components of the wood lathe are the headstock, the tailstock, and the tool rest.
For most turning procedures, a round or nearly- round workpiece is clamped between the head- stock spur center and the tailstock live center. The tool rest is positioned to provide stability to the chisel or other cutting tool while it is pressed into the workpiece. The lathe is turned ON, which causes the spindle to rotate. Pressing the cut- ting tool into the workpiece while it is turning cuts grooves around the circumference of the stock. Moving the cutting tool along the length of the workpiece allows the user to shape the workpiece into perfect cylinders, tapers, and intri- cate designs.
Another option is faceplate turning. Faceplate turning is be used to create plates, bowls, and other shallow or
Once a rough shape is created on the lathe, it can be sanded smooth by moving the tool rest out of the way and carefully sanding along the length of the workpiece while the lathe is rotating.
To allow for greater versatility, the spindle speed can be adjusted by repositioning the belt position in the head stock and by turning the speed adjust- ment knob on the control panel.
