Turning Between Centres; Bowl Turning - Powermatic 3520B Mode D'emploi

6.4 Turning between centres

With a ruler locate and mark the centre on each end.
Put a dimple in each end of the shock. Extremely hard woods
may require kerfs cut into the spur drive end of stock (see Fig
19).
The spur drive centre locks into the cleaned spindle taper and
can be removed with the knockout rod (Fig 20)
Mount the centred workpiece between the spur drive centre
and the tailstock mounted live centre
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.
Turn the workpiece by hand to see if it rests securely between
centres and can be rotated freely.
For turning between centres the tool rest is set appr. 3mm
higher than centre line (Fig 21 and 22).

6.5 Bowl turning

Turn outside of bowl between centres.
Turn a short tenon the size of the hole in the faceplate (A, Fig
23). This will allow centring the workpiece.
Mount the workpiece (A, Fig 24) 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.
