SPUR CENTER

If you have not done a lot of wood turning, we suggest
you start by mounting a small spindle turning. Follow
these steps:
1, Carefully inspect and select a piece of wood 2" x
2" x 12"and always use wood free of checks, splits,
cracks or knots.

t16" DEEP CUT

2. Draw diagonal lines across each end of wood to
locate the center of each end.
3. On one end using a non-power handsaw, make a
saw cut approximately 1/16" deep on each diagonal
line. The spurs on the spur center will be placed
in these cuts,
4. The other end is for the cup center,Place point of
cup center on the wood where diagonal lines cross.

5. Drive cup center into wood. Use a wooden mallet
or a plastic hammer. If you don't have one, use a
steel hammer, but put a piece of wood on the end
of cup center to protect it. Remove the cup center.
6. Drive the spur center into other end of wood, Make
sure the sPurs are in the saw cuts, Remove spur
center,
7, Make sure the centers and the holes in the
headstock spindle and tailstockspindle are clean,
Insert spur center into headstock and cup center
into tailstock and tap them in lightly with a piece
of wood. Do not drive them in,
8. Put a drop of oil or wax on the wood where it
contactsthe cup center. This wilt lubricate the wood
while it is turning.
9. Place lhe wood between the centers and lock the
tailstock,
WARNING: To avoid Injury from thrown pieces,
be sure the spur center and cup center are firmly
seated against the workplece and that the tailstock is securely LockedIn place,

10. Move the cup center inlo the wood by turning
tailstock hand wheel, Make sure cup center and
spur center are "seated" into wood in holes made
in steps 5 and 6 above, Turn the wood by hand
while turning the hand wheel until the cup center
and spur center are tight against workpiece,

Look at the speed chart. Notice that a 2" square
turning up to 18" long should run at 875 R.P.M. for
"roughing." Move the Poly-V-Belt on the pulleys to
the slowest speed as outlined under "Changing
Speeds" section.
When finish-turning any size wood, notice that the
recommended speed of the lathe is increased considerably above the rough-turning speed.

LINE

\
TOOL REST

However, if excessive vibration occurs at any speed
always shut the lathe off immediately and reduce
the speed until the vibration is not excessive.
During any spindle turning operation check all locks
frequently for tightness. Also frequently check the
fit of the cup center against the turning. Do not
allow the wearing away of wood to cause a loose fit.
WARNING: To avoid injury from thrown pieces,
turn workplece by hand to make sure it doesn't
hit any parts of the lathe. Always make sure the
workpiece is properly mounted and the lathe Is
set at the proper speed (RPM) before re-inserting
the switch key. Never spindle turn workpieces
longer than these specified in the chart for the
sizes shown. Never spindle turn workpieces
greater than 4" square.

FACEPLATE TURNING
WARNING: When doing faceplate turnings, always
follow instructions supplied with the faceplate for
mounting the workpiece to the faceplate. (for one
(1) possible exception--see "special note" to the
right) workpieces not properly and securely
attached to the faceplate may come loose during
operation, fly off, and hit the operator (fsceplates
are sold separately at SearHee

inches long to provide plenty of grip and leverage. Sharp
tools are essential for clean, safe work..,
buy tools
that will take and hold clear edges. There are six com.
monly used chisel types. The gouge skew and parting
tool are used for cutting under the surface of lhe workpiece. The flat nose, round nose and spear point are
used for scraping.

CUTTING AND SCRAPING
When doing a cutting operation, the chisel is held at
an angle so the sharp edge actually cuts below the
revolving workpiece surface to peel off shavings. To do
a scraping operation, the chisel is held at a right angle
to the workpiece and removes fine particles instead of
shavings. Many operations require that cutting chisels
be used for scraping, but scraping chisels should never
be used for cutting. When cutting, materiat is removed
faster than when scraping and produces a smoother
finish which requires less sanding.
CUTTING

MUST SCRAPE

SCRAPING

CUT AND WHEN YOU

If yoL_are removing wood from the circumference of a
workpiece (for example, turning down the outer surface
of a cylinder or the inner wall of a hollow round box)
you may use either a cutting or a scraping action. This
is true because the granular structure of the wood will
allow easy removal of wood at the circumference of the
workpiece in much the same way as a peeling is removed from an apple or a potato,

CIRCUMFERENCETURNING

If you are removing wood from the diameter of a workpiece (as when turning the face of a faceplate turning)
you must use a scraping action only.This is true because
you are removing wood across the grain. Wood does
not peel easily across the grain, and attempts to use
a cutting action will result in damage to the workpiece
and throwing of the chisel by the workpiece,

DIAMETER TURNING
iii

,11,ii

THE SKEW

WARNING: To avoid having the woodworking
chisel torn from your hand, always work from a
larger diameter toward a more narrow diameter
on the wood turning and always do rough circumference cuffing with the gouge chisel.
THE GOUGE
Threegouges, the 1/4-, 1/2- and 3/4-in, sizes, are ample
for general homeshop turning; but other sizes from 1/8to 2-in. can be purchased.
Always use the gouge for rough circumference turning
of raw stock down to a cylinder of working size. It is
the best tool to use for rapid cutting away of large areas
of the workpiece. With practice, it can be used for cutting
coves and the shaping of long cuts and is also useful
for scraping.

The skew should be used only by operators who have
become proficient in the use of all other turning tools,
Two skews, the 112- and 1-in. sizes, are all that are
needed for general use, Other sizes are available. This
tool is used to make finish cuts and to cut vees and
beads. Properly used, it produces the best finish that
can be obtained with a chisel.
WARNING: To avoid injury from a thrown workpiece, never cut all the way through a spindle
turning.

THE PARTING TOOL
The parting tool has just one primary purpose: to cut
straight into the workpiece as deep as desired.
THE SCRAPING CHISELS (SPEAR POINT, FLAT
NOSE, AND ROUND NOSE)
A 1/2-in, wide spear point chisel, a 1/2-in. wide round
nose chisel, and a 1-in, wide flatnose chisel are very
useful for diameter scraping operations and for circumference scraping, when cutting methods cannot be
employed,

HOLDING THE WOODWORKING

CHISEL

WORK PIECE

In handling alt turning tools, the handle hand takes a
natural position, being nearer or farther from the end
of the handle depending on the amount of leverage
required. The position of the tool rest hand should be
as illuslrated with turning tool held firmly against the
tool rest and fingers and thumb wrapped around the
turning tool on the opposite side of the tool rest, away
from the rotating workpiece.

WARNING: To avoid Injury from a thrown turning
tool, keep firm hand grip on the tool by wrapping
fingers and thumb around tool. Use both hands
spaced apart for proper leverage and control.

Keep your weight balanced on your feet. Do not rest

AND

1. The bearings, in both end shields of the motor,
have been lubricated at the factory with correct
lubricant. No other part of the motor requires
lubrication.
2, If disassembly of the motor is necessary, it should
be returned to your nearest Sears retail or
mail-order store in order to prevent voiding the
guarantee,
NOTE: The speed of this motor cannot be regulated
or changed,
3O

Every effort should be made to prevent foreign material from entering the motor. When operated
under conditions likely to permit accumulations of
dust, dirt, or waste within the motor, a visual inspection should be made at frequent intervals. Accumulations of dry dust can usually be blown out
successfully.
NOTE: Motors used on wood-working tools are
particularly susceptible to the accumulation of sawdust and wood chips and should be blown out or
"vacuumed" frequently to prevent interference with
normal motor ventilation.
