Sanding/Finishing
After the turning operations are complete, the
workpiece can be sanded and finished before
removing it from the lathe, as shown in Figure 39.
Figure 39. Typical sanding operation.
Note: Whenever sanding or finishing, move the
tool rest holder out of the way to increase per-
sonal safety and gain adequate working room.
Wrapping sandpa-
per completely around
workpiece could pull
your hands into mov-
ing workpiece and may

Sandpaper
Workpiece
1. Make backing block from a suitable size
piece of scrap wood.
Note: The faces of the backing block must be
flat and parallel to each other, or the uneven
surfaces will cause the workpiece to spin
eccentrically, causing unnecessary vibration
and runout. It is best to mount the backing
block to the faceplate and turn the other sur-
face flat prior to mounting.
2. Locate and mark center of workpiece and
backing block.
3. Drill a
1
⁄4" hole through center of backing
block.
4. Look through hole in backing block to line up
center with workpiece, then glue and clamp
backing block to workpiece.
Note: Allow the glue to cure according to
manufacturer instructions.
5. Follow Steps 1–3 in Mounting Workpiece
to Faceplate (see Page 27) to attach back-
ing block to the faceplate.
