G0462 Wood Lathe (Mfd. Since 11/14)
Outboard turning is a variation of faceplate turn-
ing and is usually done when stock diameter is
greater than 12''. For the size of the Model G0462
and its minimum turning speed, we recommend a
maximum diameter of 17'' for outboard turning.
The lathe setup at 90˚ for outboard turning uses
the tool rest with the pivot arm extended, as
shown in Figure 39.

Figure 40. Headstock set at 180˚.
Figure 40 depicts the lathe setup at 180˚ for out-
board turning.
Note: When turning in this manner, you must use
a free standing tool rest (not supplied).

Outboard Turning Sanding /Finishing
Using the Lathe
The lathe can be used for finishing procedures
after the turning operations are complete and
before removing the workpiece from the lathe,
such as sanding, polishing, and applying finishes
by hand (see Figure 41 for an example).
Note: When using the lathe to sand or finish the
workpiece, remove the tool rest to prevent entan-
glement hazards. Use the slowest speed for safer
control and better results.

Wrapping the sandpa-
per completely around
the workpiece could pull
your hands into the mov-
ing workpiece and may
cause injury. Never wrap
sandpaper completely
around the workpiece!
