MOUNTINg THE WORKPIECE
NOTE: When mounting a workpiece, first tap the spur
center into the workpiece using a soft mallet before installing
into headstock.
A typical bowl mount is shown in Fig. 25. Workpieces can
be mounted to the faceplate through the faceplate's four
holes using screws appropriate for the type of wood being
turned.
Another type of workpiece mount, where the workpiece is
fixed between the spur and live centers, is shown in Fig. 26.
Here are some tips on this mount:
1. Mount the workpiece by moving the tailstock to a
position about 1" or 1-1/2" (25 mm or 38 mm) from the
end of the workpiece and locking it in this position.
2. Advance the live center (E) by turning the tailstock crank
(P) Fig. 27 until the center cup makes contact with the
workpiece.
3. Do not support the workpiece on the center pin alone.
Always have the rim of the center cup imbedded at least
1/8" (3.2 mm) into the workpiece.
4. Lock the quill locking screw (O).
