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.  You will need to use the following chart for setting the correct turning speed.

The wood lathe is similar to the metal lathe in the Machine Shop. It can spin material at various speeds and allows the user to 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 centers, one on each side of the work. The head stock side of the material is the driven side. When installing the spur center in hard wood you will need to saw two diagonal cuts and drill the center hole.  If working with soft wood you can use a punch to locate the center and use a mallet to drive the spur center into the work piece.  You will need to use the following chart for setting the correct turning speed.

==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.

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