Grizzly G0624 Installing/Removing Faceplate, Selecting Turning Tools, To remove the live center

To remove the live center:

1.Turn the quill handwheel counterclockwise until the tailstock quill bottoms out, causing the center to be forced out of the quill.

The tailstock quill lock handle must always be locked down while the lathe is in use. The workpiece can be thrown from the lathe if this step is not observed. Also, the tailstock quill should not protrude from the tailstock housing more than 2'' or the quill will not be supported enough. Failure to follow these warnings may result in personal injury.

Tools

Lathe tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes and usually fall into five major categories.

•Gouges—Mainly used for rough cutting, detail cutting, and cove profiles. The rough gouge is a hollow, double-ground tool with a round nose, and the detail gouge is a hol- low, double-ground tool with either a round or pointed nose. Figure 16 shows an example of a gouge.

•Skew Chisel—A very versatile tool that can be used for planing, squaring, V-cutting, beading, and parting off. The skew chisel is flat, double-ground with one side higher than the other (usually at an angle of 20-40˚).
