Turning Angles
There are several methods of turning angles or tapers.
•
For large angles of short length, such as a chamfer, turn the compound rest
to the angle you want. Advance the tool across the work with the compound
rest, and advance the tool into the work with the cross slide or the
carriage.
•
You can use the same method for small angles (usually called tapers) of a
length less than the compound rest travel.
•
For longer tapers, the work is usually placed between centers with the tail
center offset from the centerline of the lathe.
Cutting Threads
Much of the mechanism of your lathe is provided to allow you to cut threads.
Your lathe can cut a broad range of thread pitches. In fact, with the standard
change gears, you can cut many more thread pitches than those shown on the
table on the lathe.
