Woodworking as a hobby has always enjoyed a degree of popularity, and woodturning is a very important aspect of it. The main tool used in woodturning is a hobby lathe. A lathe is a tool which turns or spins a block of material in place while it is shaped and cut using a variety of specialty tools. Hobby lathes are often used to make such items as table and chair legs, candlesticks, baseball bats, and chess pieces A basic hobby lathe consists of about six main components. Almost all lathes have a bed, which is a horizontal beam to which all the other parts are attached. At one end of the bed is the headstock, which contains some form of power. Attached to the power is the drive center, which holds a work piece in place and turns it. At the other end of the hobby lathe is the tailstock. It can be adjusted horizontally to any position on the bed, depending on the length of the piece with which the craftsman is working at the time. When a workpiece is mounted between the headstock and tailstock, it is said to be“between centers.” Located in the middle of the bed is the tool rest which can also be adjusted horizontally and vertically. It gives thehobbyist the ability to be very precise with his tools while working. A hobby lathe is generally designated according to the maximum diameter of the material that can be held by it. For instance, a lathe which is capable of holding a 6-inch diameter workpiece for turning is referred to as a 6-inch lathe. The other dimension that a hobbyist may be concerned with is the maximum length of the material which can be turned by the lathe. |
