The centring pin can be knocked out to allow deep hole
drilling operations.
Mount the centred workpiece between the spur drive centre
and the tailstock mounted live centre (Fig 23).
Fig 23
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 21).
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 24, 25 and
26).

6.5 Bowl turning
Turn outside of bowl between centres.
Turn a short tenon the size of the hole in the faceplate
(T, Fig 27).
This will allow centring the workpiece.
Fig 27
Mount the workpiece (A, Fig 28) 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.
