Spindle Turning

Spindle turning is described as turning work between the two centers. Turning a spindle can be a very simple or a highly intricate operation. To mount a workpiece between centers:

1.Locate the center point on both ends of the workpiece by carefully drawing diagonal lines from corner to corner. The point of intersection is the center of the work.

2.Hold the spindle vertically and support it on a solid surface. Line up the spur center with the center of the workpiece. Drive the spur center into the stock about 1⁄4'' using a dead blow hammer. Be careful not to split the workpiece. Wood with splits along the grain may fly off the lathe during operation. For dense wood, drill a hole for the center and score lines with a saw blade for the spurs.

3.Once the spur center is firmly attached to the workpiece, insert the spur center (with the attached workpiece) into the headstock spin- dle.

4.While supporting the workpiece, slide the tailstock close to the end of the workpiece and lock into place.

5.Line up the live center with the workpiece center. Turn the handwheel to press the point of the live center into the workpiece.

Do not press too firmly or the bearings will bind and overheat, On the other hand, do not adjust too loosely or the workpiece will spin off the lathe. Use good judgement. Serious personal injury may occur.

6.Lock the tailstock barrel in place.

Make sure the live center in the tailstock lines up with the spur center in the head- stock before turning anything between centers. Failure to observe this step could result in the workpiece being thrown from the lathe. Serious personal injury may occur.
