W1758 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 3/10)
Outboard turning is a variation of faceplate turning and
is usually done when stock diameter is greater than 12".
For the size of the Model W1758 and its minimum turn-
ing speed, we recommend not exceeding a maximum
workpiece diameter of 17".

provided tool rest extension. shows the head-
stock setup for outboard turning at 180°.
It is important for safety and performance to use the pro-
vided tool rest extension in a manner that will offer the
greatest stability and range for your turning tool. If this
tool rest assembly will not work for your operation, you
must use a free-standing tool rest (not supplied).

The lathe can be used for finishing procedures after the
turning operations are complete, such as sanding, polish-
ing, and applying finishes by hand (see ).
Whenever performing finishing procedures to your
workpiece, remove the tool rest to avoid entanglement.
Use the slowest speeds for safer control and better
results.
