How to use the lathe as shown in the figure? There are many kinds of lathe tailstock, plum blossom, drill and tip. What is the difference?

This is a small simple woodworking lathe. Mainly used for processing round bars.

This lathe does not use three-jaw and four-jaw chucks, but mainly uses two centers.

In order to transmit the necessary torque, the workpiece is lifted with a quincunx spire. If necessary, it can be reinforced with a heart-shaped (peach-shaped) chuck.

Generally, the plum blossom thimble is used at the spindle end, and the common center thimble is used at the tail end. When necessary, the plum blossom thimble can be used at both ends.

The center hole on the workpiece must be drilled with a pistol in advance, and it is not necessary to make it into a plum blossom shape.

When processing disk parts, one side leans against the flange and the other side is pressed with plum blossom thimble.

When processing, hold the blade against the shelf, slowly move left and right, back and forth, and cut out various shapes.

The position and angle of the handrail should be adjusted at any time according to the situation of the workpiece.
