There are a wide variety of projects that can be done on the wood lathe, some easier than others, and all requiring a different need for skills and tools. This makes it hard sometimes to provide a common set of instructions, however, there some general safety rules and instructions for use that are used in any project on the lathe. The lathe can be fun to work with, but always remember, safety first.

====Overview====

====Operation====

 

 

The wood lathe is similar to the metal lathe in the Machine Shop. It can spin material at various speeds, and lets the turner create cuts and round shapes. Unlike the metal lathe, there is not a built in tool holder. On the wood lathe, a turner will instead use a hand held chisel to carve away the wood. For most projects, the material on the wood lathe is held using two center points on each side of the work. The head stock side of material is the driven side.

====Demonstration====

You're going to make a snowman out of some wood! The goal is to smooth it into 3 spheres that look like a snowman, no additional accessories like carrot noses and top hats are necessary.

Demonstrate you can safely setup the lathe and make a snowman ornament out of wood! The goal is to shape the wood into 3 spheres that look like a snowman, no additional accessories like carrot noses and top hats are necessary.

====General Procedure====

====General Procedure====

# Get your stock at whatever size you need for your project, and make it square stock so that all sides are the same size.

# Select the stock size you need for your project and make it square using the table saw if needed. If the material is squared up it should run true on the lathe.  

# Mark the center of both ends and use a punch to indent on the middle of both ends. This helps the lathe to spin it at its center.[[File:...woodLathe1.png|300x300px|thumb|none]]

# Mark the center of both ends using a pencil and straight edge. Use a punch to indent both ends at the center marks. This will help locate the tooling and keep the part running true.[[File:...woodLathe1.png|300x300px|thumb|none]]

# Make sure to use the two point centers on the lathe and ensure the motor head is tight on the rails. If the tail stock or head is loose the work piece could fly out of the machine.

# Make sure to use the two point centers on the lathe and ensure the motor head is tight on the rails. If the tail stock or head is loose the work piece could fly out of the machine.

# Move the end head to a distance longer than your stock and place one end of the stock on the motor head center, lining up the punch hole with the center point.

# Move the tail stock away from the head stock to provide clearance for the wood stock to fit between the head and tail stock.  Lock the tail stock and use the center punch mark to line up the live center and spur center.

# Spin the handle on the back of the end head until the other center lines up with the punch hole on the other side of your stock.

# As you Spin the handle on the tail stock the distance between the two centers will be reduced and capture the material. Keep the center punch marks lined up with the points on the centers until it pinches the work piece.  

# Rotate the handle and extra couple turns to push the stock into the motor head center and turn the red handle to hold the spindle in place. Now your piece is secured![[File:...woodLathe2.png|none|thumb]]

# When the spur center is engaged into the material lock the quill using the red handle handle located on top of the tail stock. Now your piece is secured![[File:...woodLathe2.png|none|thumb]]

# Turn on the machine with the red switch on the side of the motor head. It will start to spin

# The tool rest should be placed roughly 1/4"or less from the stock.[[File:...woodLathe3.png|none|thumb]]

# The metal tool rest should be at a height so that the tool on top of the rest will be cutting at the middle of the stock.

# The tool rest should be at a height so that the tool on top of the rest will be cutting at the middle of the stock.

# The tool rest should be placed roughly 1/4"or less from the stock. Make sure the stock can still spin freely without hitting the tool rest.[[File:...woodLathe3.png|none|thumb]]

# Always rotate the spindle by hand prior to applying power. This will help prevent crashing the work piece into the tool rest.

# Start the spindle at about 750 rpm.

# Turn on the machine power switch located on the left end of the machine.

# Use the gouge to slowly begin chipping away the wood. Make sure the chisel is pressed firmly onto the tool rest and you are holding the bottom of the handle tight into your core.

# Check the speed indicated on the display prior to pressing the green "ON" button. Use the speed chart for settings. Its always better to start at a slow speed and adjust as needed.  

# Slowly push the chisel up until it begins chipping at the wood.

# Adjust the spindle speed as needed using the black knob.

# Start with the high parts of the piece or towards the middle if it’s all even, and move the chisel towards the end, chipping away little bits of wood at a time.

# Use the gouge to slowly begin chipping away the wood. Make sure the chisel is pressed firmly onto the tool rest and you are holding the handle tight into your core.

# Slowly push the chisel into the material until it begins chipping at the wood.

# Start cutting down the high parts of the material or towards the middle if it’s all even. Move the chisel towards the end, chipping away little bits of wood at a time.

# Smooth out the wood, chipping away until you make a cylinder.

# Smooth out the wood, chipping away until you make a cylinder.

# Once you have the cylinder, choose one end to be the head.

# Once you have the cylinder, choose one end to be the head.

==Safety==

==Safety==

Do not wear anything that could possibly get caught in the lathe, like bracelets, lanyards, hair below the shoulders, etc. We'd rather you not spin at 750 rpm.

*Don't wear anything that could get caught in the lathe. An example of items would be bracelets, lanyards, hair below the shoulders, etc.  

When in doubt, ask someone what to do. The shop supervisors are skilled and are glad to give advice. Additionally, no one wants to deal with anyone getting hurt, so lets do everything we can to prevent that.

*If you have questions make sure to ask a supervisor. The shop supervisors are skilled and are glad to give advice.  

The most common issue with safety is digging the chisel in too hard. If it is dug in too hard, it can get caught in the wood and get shot across the shop. This is another instance we would love to avoid, but learning what is considered "too hard" comes from practice. Asking a shop supervisor to watch you and tell you how much pressure is good enough is a great route to go.

*The most common issue with safety is digging the chisel in too hard. If it is dug in too hard, it can get caught and cause a dangerous situation.

*When sanding make sure to remove the tool rest. This will eliminate a possible pinch point.
