W1752 Owner's Manual (Mfg. 1/07+)
Spindle turning () is the operation performed
when a workpiece is mounted between the headstock and
the tailstock.
Mark both ends of your workpiece by drawing diago-
nal lines from corner to corner. The intersection
point of these lines will show you the center of your
workpiece. See for details.
Using a wood mallet, tap the point of the spur
center into the center of the workpiece, so that it
leaves a center mark, then remove the spur center.
Using a

3

center mark.

2" to make turning safer and easier.

workpiece with a wood mallet to embed it at least
