Sanding and Finishing

Leaving clean cuts will reduce the amount of sanding required. Begin with a fine sandpaper (120 grit or finer). Coarser sandpaper will leave deep scratches that are difficult to remove, and dull crisp details. Fold the sandpaper into a pad; do not wrap sandpaper around your fingers or the workpiece.

To apply a finish, the workpiece can be left on the lathe. Turn off lathe and use a brush, or cloth to apply the finish. Remove excess finish before restarting lathe. Allow drying and sanding again with 320 or 400 grit sandpaper. Apply additional coats of finish and buff.

Face Plate and Bowl Turning

Face plate turning is normally done on the inboard side of the headstock over the bed see Figure 19. You must pivot the headstock 180° for larger workpieces.

Mounting Stock

Use of a face plate is the most common method for holding a block of wood for turning bowls, and plates.

1.Select stock at least 1/8" to 1/4" larger than the dimension on the desired finished workpiece.

2.True one surface of the workpiece for mounting against the face plate. It is best to leave extra stock against the faceplate that can be cut off when the workpiece is finished.

3.Using the faceplate as a template, mark the location of the mounting holes, and drill pilot holes of the appropriate size. If the mounting screws on the faceplate interfere with the workpiece, a waste block can be mounted to the faceplate and then the waste block mounted to the workpiece by gluing or screwing, see Figure 20.

4.Both waste block and workpiece should have good flat surfaces.

5.Push in on the spindle lock and thread face plate and workpiece onto the spindle. Tighten setscrews in the faceplate when secure.
