MOUNTING THE WORKPIECE TO THE FACEPLATE
Fig. 63 shows direct mounting the workpiece to the 3" faceplate, along with attaching it to the backing block. Because of
the ease of setting up, use this mounting whenever the work permits. Hold larger pieces in the same way by using the 6"
faceplate. When normal screw-fastenings interfere, mount the workpiece on a backing block (Fig. A39). When screws are
not permissible at all, glue the workpiece to the backing block by fitting a sheet of paper at the joint to allow later separation
without damaging the wood. Some workpieces can be screwed or nailed from the face side into the backing block. Mount
workpieces less than 3" in diameter on a single screw center (Fig. 64).

INBOARD/OUTBOARD TURNING
For workpieces that require additional space for turning, or for the turning of bowls, etc., outboard turning is the answer. To make
outboard turnings:
1. Remove the tool rest base and the tailstock from the lathe bed.
2. The headstock can turn to any angle. Move the handle (A) Fig.65 and turn the headstock to the angle best suited for the work.
Lock the headstock in place by moving the handle back to the left.
3. If the faceplate is already on the headstock, remove it by inserting the knockout bar (A) Fig. 66 in the side hole of the spindle
(B) Fig. 66 to hold the spindle in place. Use the supplied wrench (C) Fig. 66 to loosen the faceplate. Remove the faceplate (D)
by turning it counterclockwise with your hand.

6. The tool rest with the auxiliary extension can be placed in several different angles and positions. Select the one best suited for
your work. Fig. 67 shows the position normally used for bowls and other outboard turnings. To move the tool rest on the bed,
loosen the handle (A) Fig. 67 and slide the tool rest to the desired position, and then tighten the handle. To change the angle
of the tool rest, loosen the handle (B) Fig. 67, move the auxiliary extension to the desired position, then retighten. To raise the
height of the tool rest, loosen the handle (C), raise the tool rest to the desired height, then retighten.
7. Fig. 68 illustrates a typical inboard faceplate turning set-up. Inboard faceplate turning is used mostly when the workpiece
(A) will rotate freely over the lathe bed. The workpiece (A) is mounted to a faceplate and the faceplate is threaded onto the
spindle. Note that the standard equipment tool rest (B) can be adjusted to turn the outside diameter of the workpiece.
