To Shape the Outside of a Bowl

1.Odd shaped burls, crotches and other irregular shaped blanks require special preparation before mounting in a chuck, or onto a faceplate. Remove the bark, if there is any, from what appears to be the center of the top of workpiece.

2.Drive the spur center into the top of the workpiece with a wood mallet.

3.Slip the spur center into the headstock taper and bring the tailstock, with a live center, into position. Lock the tailstock to the bed and advance the spindle in order to seat the cup center into workpiece, see Figure 21. Tighten the quill lock.

4.Position the tool support below the centerline and about 1/4" from the workpiece. Note: For larger outboard turning, an optional outboard turning stand is used to place the tool support, see your JET distributor.

5.Turn the workpiece by hand to ensure proper clearance.

6.Start the lathe at the lowest speed and bring it up to the maximum safe speed for the size of work to be turned, see Figure 6 on page 11. If the machine starts to vibrate, lower the speed until the vibration stops.

7.Rough out the outside of the bowl with the 1/2" deep fluted bowl gouge, holding the tool firmly against your hip. For best control, use your whole body to move the gouge through the workpiece.

8.As the bowl takes shape, work on the bottom (tailstock end) to accommodate attaching a face plate, see Figure 21.

9.Turn a short tenon (about 1/8" long) the size of the hole in the faceplate, see Figure 21. This will allow centering the workpiece when the faceplate is attached. Note: If you plan to use a chuck, turn a tenon of appropriate length and diameter to fit your chuck.

10.Stop the lathe, remove the workpiece and attach the face plate, or chuck.

11.Finish turning the outside of the bowl with 1/2" or 3/8" bowl gouge. Leave additional

material at the base of the bowl for support while turning the interior. This will be removed later.

The Jet Tools 708358 is a powerful and reliable 15-Inch Planer, designed for both professional woodworkers and serious DIY enthusiasts. This robust machine combines advanced features with efficient performance, making it a valuable addition to any workshop.

One of the key highlights of the Jet 708358 is its powerful 3 HP motor, which operates at a 230V power supply. This motor provides the necessary torque to handle dense hardwoods and ensures consistent performance across a variety of applications. The combination of this motor and high-quality components makes it an excellent choice for those looking to achieve precision and speed in their woodworking tasks.

The Jet 708358 features a massive 15-inch cutting width, allowing users to tackle larger workpieces with ease.
