Spindle Turning

Spindle Turning

Spindle turning is the operation performed when a workpiece is mounted between the headstock and the tailstock (see Figure 39).

Figure 39. Typical spindle turning operation.

Make sure the headstock and tailstock cen- ters are properly aligned before beginning any turning operation. See Aligning Centers on Page 38 for additional instructions on this procedure. Failure to observe this warn- ing could result in the workpiece being thrown from the lathe resulting in serious personal injury.
