ONEWAY offers different models and configurations of lathe. Refer to your customizedQuality Inspection Sheet (inside the front cover of this manual) for the specific detailson your machine.

Your lathe comes assembled from the fac-tory and requires minimal assembly.

Before setting up the lathe you shouldselect a location.

1. Location of the LatheThe best location for the lathe is on a levelconcrete floor. The electrical box andmotor should be kept as cool as possible sodo not put the lathe where sun will shinedirectly on the box or right in front of afurnace vent.

2. Remove the LatheThe first step is to remove the bed fromthe shipping palett and position it at yourdesired location.

3. The Belt Cover The next step is to check the belt cover.

The belt cover is located on top of theheadstock (brass knob). Remove any tapeholding the belt cover to the headstock.

4. Pendant Arm The pendant arm is shrink wrapped to thelathe body for protection during shipping.Remove the plastic material from the pen-dant arm.

Note: The position of the stop bossdepends on where you like the pendant to"lock" in place. This can be set to suit yourpersonal preference.

5. Levelling the LatheIn the lathe accessories box (located in thetube of the lathe) there are four metal padsand four large (M10 x 40) set screws.These pads and screws are for equalizingthe pressure on the lathe legs. Insert a set

screw at the base of each leg, then put apad under each setscrew. Screw the setscrews down until there is even pressure oneach pad and then tighten the locknuts.Doing this will help eliminate vibrationcaused by uneven floors and the resultantuneven pressure on each leg. It is not nec-essary to level the lathe.

7. Other ConsiderationsWhen you are done setting up the latheyou might consider removing the tubecover at the tailstock end of the lathe.Removing this cover will help increase air-flow to the motor. Also the inside of thetube is a real handy spot to store tools.

Q. What about adding Weight?If you want to fill the tube with sand werecommend putting the sand in small bagsand double bagging. Do not fill the tubemore than half full as this will impede air-flow over the motor. There is a plate weld-

ed 18 inches from the headstock end ofthe tube. Do not fill over this plate, as thiswill protect the motor from any damage ifthe sand leaks out of a bag.

Our research shows there is no noticeableimprovement by filling the tube with sand.

Q. Should I bolt down my lathe?Each leg is predrilled for bolt down holes.Properly grouting in the legs and boltingthe lathe down will greatly increase the sta-bility and safety of the lathe.

This button stops spindle rota-tion. Short deceleration is 4 sec-onds. Long deceleration is 12seconds. Short or long decelera-tion is selected with the toggleswitch, located on the left side ofthe Pendant. It is possible whenstopping a large piece from highspeed that the drive will get over-loaded with too much voltage. Ifthis happens, the drive shutsdown to protect itself, and thelathe will coast to a stop. If thishappens, turn the lathe off (usingthe ON/OFF switch), wait 20seconds, and turn the power backon again. Move the Deceleration

switch to Long and resume working.Most work can be done with thedeceleration set to Short.

Stop Button

Emergency Stop Start Button

What are the Rings for?

Speed Pot

This button is for "Emergencies" only. Themachine will coast to a stop if this buttonis pushed in. Use the regular STOP buttonif you want the lathe to brake to a stop. Toturn the machine on and off, use theon/off switch on the side of the drive.

ImportantThis button MUST be in the "OUT"position before you turn on the lathe. Youmust twist it to get it in the OUT position.

Push this button to start the spindle rota-tion. Before pushing the button, ensure thespeed select is in the appropriate positionfor the piece you are working on. Afterpushing the start button the lathe willaccelerate in 4 seconds up to the speed youselect. If you have the deceleration selectorswitch set to LONG, the lathe will take 6seconds to accelerate up to speed.TIP: It is always a good idea to set thespeed to ZERO, and then graduallyincrease speed to the desired level everytime you put on a new piece.

Set this switch to Forwardfor normal inboard opera-tion, and Reverse for nor-mal outboard operation.This allows for normalright-handed turning forinboard and outboard.Flipping the switch whilethe lathe is running willcause the lathe to decelerateto 0 rpm and then re-accel-erate in the opposite direc-tion to the selected speed.Changing the direction ofthe rotation while the latheis running will not harmthe motor or the drive, butaccessories can unscrew ifnot locked to the spindle.

Toggle Switch

Lathe speed is selected with a combination of thepulley selected and the speed pot. Around the speedpot there are 3 rings. The inner ring is marked withthe numbers 1 thru 8. Each of these numbers rep-resent the speed x100 (i.e. 2 = 200 rpm). Pleasenote that the lathe does run less that 100 rpm butdoes not go to zero for safety reasons.

1. The most common cause of the unitshutting off is stopping large pieces tooquickly, therefore causing excess voltageand the drive tripping out (self-protec-tion). If you press the STOP button andthe lathe does not brake, but coasts to astop, this is what has happened. Refer tothe section "What If my Drive trips out?"on page 8, to reset your Drive.

2. The Drive can also trip out if the speedis changed while turning a piece. To pre-vent this from happening again, put thedeceleration toggle switch into the Longposition. Keep in mind that as a piecegets more in balance and you increasethe speed, even though you have reducedthe weight, the increased speed makesstopping more difficult. This is why thelathe might stop normally when you firststart a piece but might trip out laterwhen you increase the speed. You canalso reduce braking problems by select-ing the proper pulley. It is much easier

for the drive to stop the spindle if thebelt is on the largest headstock pulley(slowest speed) than if the belt is on thesmallest (fastest speed) headstock pulley.Selecting the Long Decel time, will alsostop the drive from tripping out whenthe speed pot is turned rapidly whileworking on a large piece.

3. The drive unit that comes with yourlathe also monitors the amount of cur-rent and the length of time that currenthas been flowing. If the motor has beendrawing excess current for too long thedrive will shut down to protect themotor. This can happen if the lathe hasbeen running slowly for a long time. Toprevent this problem, use the largestheadstock pulley (slowest speed) suitablefor the job to keep the motor speed high.

4. Sudden high power demands can causethe drive to shut down also. For exam-ple, if you have a very large catch, thedrive may shut down.

Common Problems & How to Avoid Them

The Drive unit that controls the motor is a very sophisticated drive that constantly moni-tors the motor, incoming power, and itself. If the unit detects a condition that will causedamage to any part of the drive system, it will shut itself down and the motor will coast toa stop. If this happens, the lathe will not respond to any input from the pendant control.To reset the Drive, turn the power off, let the lathe sit for 20 seconds, and then turn thepower back on.

What if my Drive trips out?

The drive unit can be programmed to function in many different ways. There are over 60programmable parameters in the AC controller.

Radio InterferenceThe drive unit in the lathe broadcasts radio interference that affects AM radio. To fix thisproblem the drive can be fitted with a RFI Filter to eliminate radio interference. Refer tothe “Lathe Accessories” section of our Website (www.oneway.ca) for more informationon the RFI Filter.

The Drive ( Inverter )

ONEWAY Lathes use an AC, variablespeed, control and a three-step pulley togive a high top speed and good low speedtorque. The drive and motor work bestwhen the motor is running fast.

Which belt setting is best?The best pulley to use is the one that givesthe range you want for the piece you areworking on.

If, for example, you want to turn a 10" bowlyou would select the middle pulley. Thispulley will give lots of torque for the roughturning and go fast enough for finish turn-ing. Starting on the biggest headstock pul-ley (slowest speed) would require you tostop to change belts after you had the pieceroughed out. This should not be necessary.If you started on the smallest headstock pul-ley (highest speed), you might find that thedrive and motor don't generate enoughtorque when you are roughing out.

The following guidelines are only approxi-mate and must be reduced if the piece youare working on is out of balance, checked,

or in any other way flawed. These speeds areonly for side grain pieces:

• Bowls less than 3" - small headstockpulley (fastest speed)

• Bowls more than 3" and less than12" - middle headstock pulley

• Bowls larger than 12" - large head-stock pulley (slowest speed)

What speed should I run the lathe at?A general rule of thumb to determine thelathe speed:

Multiply the rpm x bowl diameter and theanswer should be between 6000 and 9000.For example:

6" bowl x 1000 rpm = 60006" bowl x 1500 rpm = 9000

Therefore, if you are turning a 6" bowl,the lathe should run somewhere between1000 and 1500 rpm.

NoteThis is only a guideline, and speed must bereduced to compensate for out-of-balanceor flawed pieces.

Pulley Selection

1. Stop the lathe.2. Remove the headstock cover and

unlatch the rear motor bay door (twolatches). The door will open.Note: If the lathe was still run-ning, when the door is opened, it willstop.

3. Pull out the lever extension and loosenthe speed handle. Use the lever to liftthe motor, then lock it (in the raisedposition), using the speed handleagain.

4. Move the belt to the desired step onthe headstock pulley, and then to thecorresponding step on the motor pul-

ley. Ensure the belt is correctly locatedin the grooves on both pulleys.

5. Grasp the lifting lever and loosen offthe speed handle. Lower the motor,and apply downward pressure (25-50lbs). While still applying downwardpressure, tighten the speed handle tolock the motor in place. Check thebelt again to ensure it is seated cor-rectly (in the grooves), on both pul-leys.

6. Close the motor bay door (using thetwo latches), and replace the head-stock cover.

Changing the Belt

The banjo (toolrest base) has apatented clamping mechanismthat ensures tight and consistentclamping position, regardless ofwhere the banjo is clamped. Toensure continuing smooth opera-tion, lubricate the mechanismwhenever it seems to be gettingsticky.

Toolrest Clamp LeverThe toolrest clamp lever can beadjusted to clamp in any position.To change the position of thislever, unscrew the four screws thathold the clamp nut in place, rotateit to the desired position and re-fasten the nut with the screws.

Banjo Clamp HandleThe banjo handle will clamp either to the left orright. Generally the handle is adjusted so that whenit is clamped, the handle is clear of the bed. Thisallows the handle to be clamped in all positionsexcept over the bed. The clamp handle position canbe adjusted via the Nylock Nut, underneath thebanjo.

Note: There are 8 holes in the clamp nut, allowingadjustments of 1/8 rotational increments. The han-dle clamp position is an individual preference, butthe 5 O'clock position is a good place to start.

The tailstock on the ONEWAY lathes has a#3 Morse Taper in the barrel and a 5/16”thru hole for lamp hole augers.

The thread on the quill is a 6 pitch Acmethread that allows rapid feed in and retrac-tions for drilling with the tailstock.

The Quill LockThe quill lock is locatedon top of the tailstock. Itshould be snugged upwhen using a live center.The lock does not have tobe tightened excessively.This lock does not stopthe quill from backing off,that is done by the feedscrew mechanism. Thelock removes any playbetween the quill and thebore, to help reduce vibra-tion when you are workingbetween centers.

The Clamp HandleThis handle clamps the tailstock to the bed.The position of the handle (when clamped)is adjusted by means of a shim stack on thebottom of the clamp block. To change thelock position, loosen off the two bolts in theclamp block, add or remove shims, and re-

tighten the bolts.

The #3 Morse TaperThe Morse taper in the tailstock is greatlyaffected by how clean the taper is. Even asmall amount of dust, or oil, will signifi-cantly reduce the drive force that can be

exerted by the tailstockbefore accessories will spinin the taper.

Always wipe any accessoryand the taper with a cleanrag before putting the acces-sory into the tailstock.

Installation and Removalof AccessoriesTo install an accessory into the tailstock, wind thebarrel out 1". Put theaccessory in the barrel,and snap it into the taper.

Self Ejecting MechanismAll Oneway Tailstocks are equipped with aself-ejecting mechanism.

Most accessories are self-ejecting. To removethe accessory, wind the barrel back until theaccessory pops out.

Tailstock

ONEWAY Lathes, like any mechanicaldevice, needs lubrication to function at itsoptimum.

Woodturning creates dust and turning wetwood sprays water and chemicals onto thelathe. Some of these chemicals are acidicand can quickly rust the bed.

Minimizing RustTo minimize bed and tailstock quill rust,

apply a heavy-duty paste wax. Doing thiswill not noticeably affect clamping.

How should I care for the Lathe?After turning, the lathe should be wipeddown - particularly the bed. Wiping an oilyrag over exposed metal will help keep yourlathe functioning better and last longer. Oilon the bed should be wiped off before usingthe lathe so the tailstock and banjo clamptightly.

Lubrication

There are four spindle bearings in the head-stock. These bearings are sealed and lubri-cated from the factory and should neverneed adjustment or lubrication. The bear-ings and the spindle in your lathe are verylarge and designed to take normal wood-turning forces for a long time. The best wayto ensure long bearing life is to never ham-mer the spindle.

Are the Bearings supposed to get this hot?Due to the size and the preload on the bear-ings, the lathe will run quite hot when it is

new. As the bearings break in they will runcooler but will still get warm. Each lathe isrun in at the factory and checked for excesstemperatures, but it’s a good idea to keepthe speed below 2000 rpm for the first 30hours of operation. This allows excess greasein the bearings to escape and for the seals tobreak in.

Replacing BearingsWhen replacing the bearings it is best toreplace the front bearings with a matchedset from ONEWAY. The rear bearings can

What are the most important areas?There are two areas on the lathe thatrequire lubrication: the tailstock and thebanjo clamping.

1. The TailstockThe tailstock quill is a precision fit andto maintain factory performance itshould be kept lightly oiled at all times.Wind the quill all the way out, put afew drops of oil on the barrel and windit in. Putting oil on the clampingmechanism will help ensure long lifeand good clamping force. To oil theclamp mechanism put a few drops onthe shaft through the hole in the backof the tailstock.

2. The BanjoThe banjo uses a patented mechanismthat eliminates flex in the shaft and

ensures tight clamping over theentire range of the banjo.Lubricating the mechanism will ensurethat the clamping force is used toclamp the banjo, not to overcome fric-tion in the mechanism. Any anti-seizelubricant will work but we find thatFel-Pro anti seize lubricant C5-A workswell.

To lubricate the Banjo, remove thebanjo from the lathe and lubricate thesliding cam.

Notes• You should only have to lubricate the

mechanism when it is not clampingwell.

• Putting oil on the shaft helps ensurethe banjo continues to slide freely.

be replaced with any equivalent bearing.

How do I Replace the Bearings?To replace the bearings you must removethe spindle.

1. The first step is to take the belt off themotor pulley andpull the belt part waythru the headstockbelt change hole.

2. Remove the six boltsin the spindle nosecap. Grab the nosecap and the entirespindle assemblyshould slide out.

What if the Spindle won’t slide out?If it’s tight, take two of the bolts you justremoved and put them into the twotapped holes in the nose cap. Tightenthem alternately and this will jack out thespindle.

Note: Be careful when removing thespindle as the assembly weighs over 25lbs.

3. Once the Spindle has been removed fromthe Headstock, the old bearings can beremoved from the spindle assembly andthe replacement bearings can be installed.

ImportantIf you do not have a proper set of bearingtools it is a good idea to send the spindleback to ONEWAY to prevent damage tothe spindle and to the new bearings.

Re-installing the SpindleNow that you have the new bearingsinstalled on the Spindle assembly, theSpindle needs to be re-installed into theHeadstock. You will use the Tailstock &

Live Center to help “align” the Spindle inthe Headstock.

4. Insert the Spindle into the Headstock sothat the rear bearings are somewhat linedup with the rear bearing housing.

5. Bring the tail-stock up close to theSpindle and clamp inplace.

6. Insert the LiveCenter (with Full PointCone attached) into theTailstock.

7. Use the Live Center tohelp align the Spindle by

moving the Live Center in so that the FullPoint Cone is inside the Spindle bore.

8. Once the Spindle is aligned, remove theLive Center and with a piece of woodbetween the Tailstock barrel and theSpindle, press the Spindle most of the wayin using the Tailstock. Stop just before theLocating Ring is engaged.

Note - At this stage the Nose Cone (on theSpindle) should still spin freely.

Important - Make sure you use all six bolts to“press” the Spindle back into place. Thisshould be done in an alternating pattern.For example, if you were to number thebolts (in a clockwise sequence) 1 2 3 4 56, then you would tighten them in anorder similar to 1 3 5 2 4 6.

9. After all six bolts are fully seated andsnugged down, the “Nose Cap” (thatthe six bolts are screwed into) shouldbe sitting flush with the headstock.

The spindle of ONEWAY Lathes are threadedM33 x 3.5 and has a locking (safety) groove tohelp ensure that accessories threaded on thespindle do not loosen off during use. There aretwo set screws on all ONEWAY accessoriesthat fit your lathe. Screw the accessory secure-ly onto the lathe and then tighten the two setscrews using an M4 allen key.

Note: Metric threadshave two terms. The firstterm (M33) refers to thediameter of the spindlein millimeters and thesecond term (3.5) refersto the distance betweenthreads in millimeters.

Spindle Thread & Safety Groove

Spindle Locking MechanismWhen removing accessories it is necessary tolock the spindle.

Where will I find the Spindle Lock?The spindle lock is located at the back end ofthe headstock.

How do I Lock the Spindle?Lift the lever from the disengaged position andpush it in gently. At the same time slowlyrotate the spindle by hand. The spindle lockpin will engage a hole in a plate in the head-stock. When the pin locks in place drop thelever into the second slot to keep the spindlelocked in place.

How do I Unlock the Spindle?To unlock the spindle lift the lever, pull it back

and drop it into the unlocked position.

Will I damage the Lathe if it’s started with theSpindle Lock engaged?If you start the lathe with the spindle lock inplace the lathe will not be damaged. If you dostart the lathe with the spindle locked, press thestop button and remove the spindle lock.

What if the Lathe shuts off?Leaving the lock pin in with the lathe startedwill eventually cause the lathe to shut off.

To restart the lathe in this situation it will benecessary to turn the lathe off and let the latherest for 20 seconds (to reset itself). Applypower to the lathe again, to continue turning.

The spindle indexing pin located at the top, onthe back end of the Headstock.

It is locked into an engaged or disengaged posi-tion with a setscrew.

Where is the Indexing Pin Setscrew located?The setscrew for the Indexing Pin is located atthe top and rear of the headstock and requiresa 4mm Allen Key (supplied) for operation.

How is it used?To use the spindle indexing, loosen thesetscrew, slide the pin forward while rotatingthe spindle by hand. The pin will engage oneof 48 holes. Lock the pin in place with the

setscrew.

Where’s the Indexing Ring?To see the indexing ring, open the belt changelid and look at the face of the largest pulley.

There is no mechanism to mark what hole youare using supplied with the lathe. Clipping aclothespin on the headstock in the belt changehole works great and allows you to select whatindex numbers you work with. You can alsoput a strip of masking tape across the belt holeand use that.

Refer to page 24 for a guide for indexing posi-tions titled "Index Guide Instruction".

15 General SafetyWoodturning is an activity that can involveheavy workpieces revolving at high speeds.

ONEWAY Lathes are very heavy solidmachines and can rotate pieces faster thanmost other lathes.

Be Aware!ONEWAY Lathes are also very quiet. It’s iseasy to run the lathe faster than you think itis going.

Bark, shavings and pieces of wood can flyfrom the lathe with considerable force,unexpectedly, at any time.

Wear ProtectionAlways wear face protection to preventinjury in such instances. Safety glasses willnot protect your whole face. Wear a full-faceshield and if possible, wear lung protectionas well. A powered respirator is a goodinvestment for any woodturner.

Avoid the Firing LineThe best way to avoid injury is to stay outof the firing line. Professional instructorscan teach you where to stand to minimizeinjury potential from flying debris. As whenworking with any tool, a sensible approach,with simple safety precautions, should befollowed.

Hand Wheel SafetyDo not use the 6" Faceplate as a handwheel. The reinforcing ribs on this faceplatecauses a dangerous pinch area with the spin-dle index and locking mechanism if used asa hand wheel. If you feel a hand wheel isrequired you should make one from woodand install it with one of 2 bushings sup-plied with the lathe. Make sure that at least1½" clearance exists between an installedhand wheel and the spindle lock mecha-nism. Optionally order part# 2802. This isa hand wheel hub designed for this purpose.

Common Sense Safety Rules1. Always keep guards in place.

2. Always wear eye protection. Use safetyglasses or a full face shield when appro-priate. Work in a well-lit environment.

3. Wear lung protection. Wear a dustmask if cutting dry/dusty wood andwhen sanding.

4. Do not wear loose clothing. Shirtsshould have short sleeves. Never wear atie when working with any powerequipment.

5. Never wear jewelry (i.e. watches, neck-laces, rings and bracelets) while work-ing with a wood lathe.

6. Long hair should be tied up or stuffedinto a hat. Long beards can get caughtand should be tied back.

7. Keep your shop floor free from objectsthat can be stumbled over.Woodturning generates lots of chips,which will quickly hide any hazards onthe floor. Keep the work area clean.Accidents are less likely to occur in atidy work area where all sharp tools areput in their proper place.

Before You Start8. Check your lathe and work area before

you start to make sure that everythingis in proper working order and there isnothing lying loosely on the lathe.Ensure that the proper belt is selectedand that the speed pot is dialed downto the lowest speed. Make sure that theworkpiece is fastened securely to thelathe and that the toolrest and banjoare tightened. Rotate your work man-ually before starting power. This willboth assure clearances of toolrest, bed,

etc. as well as assuring that chuck keysor wrenches have been removed.

While You Are Working9. Stop the lathe before moving the tool-

rest. If you move the rest while thelathe is running you risk damaging thelathe, your workpiece and your fingers.Never touch the spinning wood.

10. Do not force your tool. A sharp toolused properly will remove wood veryquickly without being forced. Pushinghard will lead to many problems, notjust safety problems. Always use theproper tool for the job. Keep your toolssharp and clean for best results. Sharptools are more predictable and behavebetter than dull tools.

11. Never wrap rags or abrasives aroundyour fingers. They can get caught andcause severe injury.

12. If you have small children around,please be aware that they can walk intothe firing line and be hit with chips orother debris.

13. If you hear your lathe making a newsound, stop and investigate. New

sounds are usually a sign ofsomething going wrong.

14. Do not turn obviously damaged orweakened wood. Check for splits,cracks or weak spots before mountingit on the lathe. If turning a piece ofglued wood, ensure that glue joints aresecure.

15. Never leave the lathe running whileunattended. Wait until the lathe comesto a complete stop before leaving thearea.

16. Always make sure that the lathe is run-ning in forward while turning inboard,and in reverse while turning outboard.

17. Disconnect the power source when themotor is being mounted, connected orreconnected.

18. The Tool Rest: adjust the tool restheight properly; adjust the tool rest sothat it is as close to your work piece aspossible; remove the tool rest whensanding or buffing.

nates the need for often dangerous andwobbly floor stands.It can also be purchased to be used withother lathes, but in that case, it must befirmly bolted to a heavy concrete or sandfilled box of adequate proportion.

Long Bed Extension (Order No. 2543)A long bed extension is available which is60 inches in length. The design of thisextension is the same as the bed of the latheitself. It is a 10-3/4" diameter * 5/16" walltube, which is stress relieved and precisionmachined. Turning between centers withthis extension effectively increases thecapacity by 60". This extension bolts on tothe end of the lathe with four bolts andcomes with a leg. Weight is approximately350 lbs. A Remote Start/Stop is included.

Remote Start/Stop (Order No. 2787)A remote START/STOP control is an avail-able accessory. This option is especially con-venient when turning outboard or on alarge bed extension. It is wired into the con-trol box and can be attached anywhere onthe lathe with its magnetized control box.

Curved ToolrestsTo make a nice curve on a bowl, the curveneeds to be cut in one shot. On medium tolarge sized bowls, you need a curved toolrest todo this. The ONEWAY curved

toolrest is gently curved to help bowl turningfrom green turning to the final finish cut.

Increased Safety & ControlThe curve allows you to position the rest clos-er to the piece you are turning. Therefore, yourtool will not have to hang so far off the rest.This not only increases the safety factor, butmeans you have greater control of your tool.

Made from stainless steel it will not rust andwill last a lifetime.

There are two different shapes available witheither a 1” or 1½” post:

1. Exterior2. General-Purpose

1. Exterior (1½” Order No. 3040)The Exterior Curved Toolrest makes it veryeasy to turn the outside of bowls. When finishturning the outside of a bowl, the final (mostimportant ) can be made with one cut!

2. General-Purpose (1½” Order No. 3039)This curved toolrest is especially useful whengreen, or finish turning, the inside of bowls. The 1½” Post rests are designed to fit intothe Big Banjo, which comes with the BigOutboard Attachment (as seen on page 16).

Spindle AdaptorONEWAY offers special adaptors to fit your

existing tooling (if required) for most stan-dard machines.

Braking ResistorHelps the lathe stop big pieces quickly.Recommended for production turners andpeople that start and stop the lathe fre-quently.

Live Center AdaptorsNow available are Live Center Adaptors. These adaptors are threaded to screw ontoONEWAY Live Centers, effectively changing the ¾” - 10 TPI thread of the Live Centerto the size of the lathe spindle. With one of these adaptors, a very precise centering methodcan be used:1. Attach a bowl blank to a faceplate.2. Turn the outside of the bowl, including a foot or tenon to chuck it on. 3. Using the Live Center adaptor, attach a chuck or faceplate to the Live Center.4. Move the tailstock (with the Live Center / chuck assembly attached) up to the bowl,

and grab the foot or tenon on the bowl while it is still attached to the faceplate andlathe.

5. Remove the faceplate, bowl blank and chuck from the lathe.6. Remove the faceplate from the bowl blank.

You can now screw the chuck onto the headstock, and your bowl will be very precisely cen-tered and ready to be hollowed out.

Live Centre adaptors are available in the following thread sizes:¾” - 10 TPI to 1” - 8 TPI Order No. 3064 ¾” - 10 TPI to M33 * 3.5 Order No. 3065 ¾” - 10 TPI to 1-1/4” - 8 TPI Order No. 3217
