Mount the centred workpiece between the spur drive centre
and the tailstock mounted live centre (Fig 19)
Fig 19
Turn the tailstock hand wheel until the live centre well
penetrates the workpiece. Reverse the hand wheel by one
quarter turn and lock the tailstock spindle (M, Fig 18)
Turn the workpiece by hand to see if it rests securely between
centres and can be rotated freely.
Position the tool rest as close to the workpiece as possible.
Tighten locking handles.
For turning between centres the tool rest is set approximately
3mm higher than centre line (Fig 20, 21 and 22.

Turn outside of bowl between centres.
Turn a short tenon the size of the hole in the faceplate
(T, Fig 23). This will allow centring the workpiece.
Fig 23
Mount the workpiece (A, Fig 24) directly to the face plate
using 4 wood screws (C) from the back. Be careful to use
screws short enough not to interfere with the cutting process
but long enough to hold the workpiece securely to the face
plate.
