-18- G1067Z Wood Lathe
Outboard turning is usually done when stock
diameter is greater than 12''. For the size of this
particular lathe and its minimum turning speed,
we recommend a maximum diameter of 17'' and
a maximum thickness of 2''.
Figure 21 depicts the lathe setup for turning a
bowl using the tool rest extension supplied.

Outboard Turning
Figure 21. Headstock set at 90˚.
The headstock spindle indexes every 15˚ by
inserting the indexing pin into one of the holes in
the headstock. Indexing is desirable when locking
the workpiece in position such as when routing
flutes. The spindle is drilled every 30˚ and the
headstock housing has two holes that are drilled
15˚ apart. To index the spindle:
1. Insert the pin through the hole in the hous-
ing.
2. Rotate the spindle by hand until the pin
drops into a hole in the spindle.

Never start the lathe with the indexing pin
inserted in the indexing hole. Serious per-
sonal injury may occur.
