Operation Manual

13 Boring Tool

Drill a hole of at least ¥ 20 mm into the workpiece, use a

drill chuck in the tailstock centre sleeve.

For hollowing out with the boring tool the workpiece is

chucked in a collet chuck or 3-/4-jaw chuck.

The revolving centre is replaced by the hollow footstock

centre. Apply a few drops of oil or carnaube wax to the

locating hole to keep the timber from scoring. Install the

workpiece between centres.

Drill locating hole as per section 9.0 of this manual, and

widen with a 60˚ countersink to fit the hollow footstock

centre.

The finished workpiece is cut from the chuck with the

parting tool. For safety reasons the parting cut must be

made at least 3 times as wide the tools’ thickness.

Replace drill chuck with boring tool, position cutter plate

of boring tool so that it cuts with 1/2 width of the cutting

edge.
