TURNING BETWEEN CENTRES

When turning between centres ensure the cutting tool clears the catchplate drive dog. Turning between centres can be a very slow operation unless
Kosta drive centres are used. It is only necessary to turn between centres
in the conventional manner when a high degree of concentricity must be achieved,
example, when the turned product is to be passed on for final grinding. |
