TURNING TOOLS
SHOPSMITH lathe chisels (Item
No. 505586) are high quality
turning tools and are provided in
an assortment that affords
maximum utility and flexibility.
The lathe chisels are packed in
sets of five (Fig. 77) and include:
1" skew - For smoothing and
finishing surfaces, trimming
cuts on ends and shoulders
and for V-cuts.
3/4" gouge - For roughing
stock from square to round
and for preliminary
dimensional shaping. Also
good for cove cutting.
1/4" gouge - For light
roughing cuts, dimensional
shaping and smaller cove cuts.
1/2" round nose - All-around tool for inside and outside contours. For hollowing, coving circular grooving and
general stock removal. This tool is used for all roughing and finishing operations on face plate turning. Do not use
the 3/4"or 1/4" gouges for face plate turning.
1/2" parting tool - Used mostly for dimensional cuts to determine cylinder diameters. Also useful for touching up
and cleaning corners and shoulders.
LATHE WORK ACCESSORIES
The Screw Center (Item No. 505601) is needed for mounting stock that is too small to be mounted between
centers or on a face plate. Work is screwed on and turned like any other job.
The Tailstock Live Center (Item No. 505602) has a precision ball-bearing tip which turns with the work piece and
prevents burning of the stock. It is especially useful for heavy work and for metal spinning operations.
The Tailstock Chuck Arbor (Item No. 505603) makes it possible to mount the Jacobs chuck in the tailstock for
concentric drilling of stock which is mounted at the drive end. Good for lamp bases, candle sockets and useful
for starting hollowing operations in bowls and similar projects.
SHOPSMITH Face Plates are available in 3-3/4" and 6" sizes. (Item Nos. 505590 and 505591) These are needed
for mounting stock which is not held between centers. Bowls, bases for lamps, circular trays and similar projects
are face-plate mounted for turning.
