bandsaw or table saw to make it roughly con-
centric.
3. installs the workpiece between centers, or
attaches it to a faceplate or chuck.
4. adjusts the tool rest to 1 ⁄
8
" above the workpiece
centerline, and sets the minimum clearance
between the workpiece and the lip of the tool
rest to
1 ⁄
4
" gap.
5. rotates the workpiece by hand to verify
that the spindle and workpiece rotate freely
throughout the full range of motion.
6. positions any dust collection hoods near the
workpiece to collect wood chips and secures
it in place.
