SYMPTOM CORRECTIVE ACTION

Machine slows down while operating Ease up on pressure

Tool =chatters" duringturningoperation

1 True up the roundnessof the

workpiece before turning operation

2. Establish new center marks on ends

to reduce wobble

3. Read instructionsand take lightercut.,

to minimize chatter

4. Use cutting motion that iswith

the grain

5. Install a steady rest in the middle,

behind the workpiece

POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)

Applying too much pressureto workpiece

1. Workpiece is too far out-of-round

2. Workpiece has too much wobble

3. Operator using bad technique

4. Cutting motion isagainst the grain of

the workpiece

5. Workpiece is too longand thin -

work-pieceisdeflected bytool pressure

Workpiece contained defects before

mounting

1. Original spindleor template loose

2. Loose tool holder

3. Follower assembly not contacting

original

Workpiece splitsor "breaks up"during Select or assemble a workpiece that is

turning operation free of defects

Workpiece finish poor 1. Secure original spindleor template

2. Tighten tension on spring

3. Adjust follower assembly firmly

against original
