Vee grooves can be cut with the toe or heel of the skew. When the toe is used, the cutting action is
exactly the same as the same as in trimming a shoulder, except the skew is tilted to cut at the required
bevel. Light cuts should be taken down on one side rst, then the other, gradually enlarging the vee to the
required depth and width.
CUTTING VEES
When the heel is used, the skew is rotated down into the work using the tool rest as a pivot. Otherwise,
the cutting position and sequence of cuts is the same. As when using the toe, it is important that cutting
be done only by the extreme end of the cutting edge. If deep vees are planned, it is easier to start them
by making a sizing cut at the center of each vee. Vees can also be scraped with a spear point chisel or
three-sided le.
Make a layout rst to provide a visual pattern to follow while working the turning. The pattern can be laid
out in the same manner as spindle pattens. Templates can be held against the work for visual comparison.
Circles to locate the various critical points can be quickly scribed on the rotating work by using the dividers.
LAYING OUT YOUR PROJECT
The rst step is to remove as much wood as possible by boring into the center with the largest wood bit
available. Be careful to measure in advance the depth to which the drill can be allowed to go.
TURNING THE PROJECT
Next, remove the bulk of the waste by scraping with the round-nose scraper or the bowl gouge. Remove
up to within 1/8” of the nished size in this manner. Finish off the inside the circumference by scraping
with the round nose or left round scraper. Smooth the bottom of the recess by scraping it with a at nose
scraper. Always try to position the part of the tool rest that supports the tool as close to the working surface
as possible.
You can directly mount the faceplate to the work piece by fastening four (or
eight) wood screws (sold separately) to the work piece.
MOUNTING THE WORK PIECE TO THE FACEPLATE
Always make sure the work piece is securely fastened to the faceplate
or between centers. When the faceplate is turning, always make sure
the screw fasteners do not come in contact with the turning tool as work
progresses.
Turning that does not mount between centers require a faceplate for holding the work piece. All work
pieces of this type should be slightly oversized to eliminate roughing cuts and vibration.
