g0462 Wood Lathe (mfg. since 3/10)

outboard turning is a variation of faceplate turn-
ing and is usually done when stock diameter is
greater than 12''. For the size of the model g0462
and its minimum turning speed, we recommend a
maximum diameter of 17'' for outboard turning.

the lathe setup at 90˚ for outboard turning uses
the tool rest with the pivot arm extended, as
shown in

figure 38.

Note: When turning in this manner, you must use
a free standing tool rest (not supplied).

Outboard Turning

Sanding/finishing

Using the Lathe

the lathe can be used for finishing procedures
after the turning operations are complete and
before removing the workpiece from the lathe,
such as sanding, polishing, and applying finishes
by hand (see

figure 40 for an example).

Note: When using the lathe to sand or finish the
workpiece, remove the tool rest to prevent entan-
glement hazards. Use the slowest speed for safer
control and better results.
