Figure 20. Shaping the copy spindle.
15. After completing initial copy, continue follow-
ing Steps 1–14 until all spindles are com-
pleted.
16. When all spindles are complete, remove copy
attachment and replace it with the lathe tool
post.
17. Use appropriate lathe chisels to sharpen
details and smooth turned surfaces of each
copy, then sand smooth.
12. Turn lathe OFF and inspect results.
—If workpiece is tapered, copy attachment
is not properly aligned to wood lathe (refer
to Performing Final Alignment on Page
13).
13. If you are satisfied, continue to remove mate-
rial from workpiece, using “downhill” cutting
method illustrated in Figure 17 on Page 17.
Tip: Avoid cutting “uphill”. It will likely result in
chipping and gouging.
14. Continue removing stock until workpiece is
complete (see Figure 20).
7. Repeat procedure for right hand stop.
8. Adjust cutting tool so both it and stylus are
just touching workpiece and template.
—It is essential for accurate copying that
cutting tool tip and stylus always remain at
same positions in relation to workpiece and
template.
9. Slide carriage away from workpiece, so sty-
lus and cutter are clear of workpiece and
template.
10. Turn lathe ON at its slowest speed, then
slowly advance cutting tool toward left edge
of workpiece. Once contact is made, advance
cutting tool into copy spindle approximately
1
⁄16". Turn longitudinal handwheel so the car-
riage travels from left to right.
11. After each pass, extend cutting tool another
1
⁄16" (maximum), and repeat with another
pass. Repeat this process until stylus comes
in contact with template.
—If cutting tool tends to bite or gouge
workpiece, back off cutting tool slightly and
try again. Be conservative when removing
stock.
6. Move carriage stylus to left hand limit of pro-
filed area and adjust left hand carriage stop
until it contacts carriage, then tighten stop
(see Figure 19).
