Operations
The Model H2669 Hobby Lathe will perform many
tasks, including spindle and faceplate turning as
well as disc sanding.
This section will guide you through setup for a
typical spindle turning application.
To setup for spindle turning:
1. DISCONNECT THE ELECTRIC DRILL
FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
2. Mark both ends of your workpiece by draw-
ing diagonal lines from corner to corner. The
intersection point of these lines will show you
the center of your workpiece. See
Figure 11
for details.
Note: 24" is the maximum length of stock you
can turn with your hobby lathe and 6" is your
maximum end width.
