Outboard Turning

Sanding/Finishing

Outboard turning is a variation of faceplate turn- ing and is usually done when the stock diameter is greater than 12". For the size of this particular lathe and its minimum turning speed, we recom- mend a maximum diameter of 17".

Figure 46 depicts the lathe setup at 90° for turn- ing larger workpieces. When turning in this man- ner, you must use a free standing tool rest (not included).

Figure 46. Headstock set at 90°.

After the turning operations are complete, the workpiece can be sanded and finished before removing it from the lathe (see Figure 47).

Figure 47. Typical sanding operation.

Note: Whenever sanding or finishing, move the tool rest holder out of the way to increase per- sonal safety and gain adequate working room.

Keep the lathe tool resting on a tool rest the ENTIRE time that it is in contact with workpiece or when preparing to make con- tact between lathe tool and workpiece. Otherwise, the spinning workpiece could force the lathe tool out of your hands or entangle your hands into the workpiece. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.

Wrapping the sandpa- per completely around the workpiece could pull your hands into the mov- ing workpiece and may cause serious injury. Never wrap sandpaper or finishing materials completely around the workpiece.
