Miscellaneous Operations

GuideBlocksForScrapingOperations

A guide block can be clamped to a chisel to limit the depth

of cut and aid in the production of perfect cylinders, tapers

and facings on faceplate turnings. Scraping methods

must be used when the guide block is employed.

Drilling

For cross drilling flat sided work, use a (metal-lathe) drill

pad in the tailstock and place a scrap board between the

pad and the work. For cross drilling round stock, use a

(metal lathe) crotch center in the tailstock. Work in which

it is desired to drill random holes can be positioned as

desired on supporting blocks laid upon the lathe bed. It

can be held by hand - or can be supported from behind

by a drill pad mounted in the tailstock. (Lathe chuck and

bits sold separately.)

Faceplate & Chuck Turnings

Planning The Work

Make a layout first, to provide a visual pattern to follow

while working the turning. Patterns can be laid out in the

same manner as spindle patterns - or templates can be

made which can be held against the work for visual com-

parison. Circles to locate the various critical points (at

which the contours of the faceplate take distinct form) can

be quickly scribed on the rotating work by using the divid-

ers.

Planning Various Cuts

The circumference of a faceplate turning is roughed-off

and finished in the same manner that a spindle is worked.

Practically all of the balance of the operations, however,

are done by using scraping methods. A few of the stan-

dard contours which must often be turned are illustrated in

the accompanying sketch - which also shows the proper

chisels for shaping these contours. Any roughing-out to

depth that must be done is generally accomplished with

the gouge held in the scraping position.
