Woodworking The Golden Rules Of Wood Turning Safety
Although turning is considered to be a relatively safe pursuit, it is not free of danger. Getting your fingers pinched between a spinning blank and a tool rest is only one hazard. Most turning accidents can be attributed to mounting a blank on the lathe improperly, or using inappropriate speed or tool technique. Carefully center a blank on the spindle and check that you are using the proper speed for the job before you start turning. The speed must be compatible with the size and weight of the workpiece; Finally, never use a cutting tool for something it was not designed to do, and make sure your tools are sharp.

Here are the golden rules of wood turning safety.
Do not wear loose clothes, neckties, or rings while turning; remember to roll up your sleeves.
Wear appropriate safety equipment at all times.
Make sure the lathe is properly grounded, and on its own electrical circuit.
When finishing, do not use large cloths, as they may catch and pull your fingers into the work.
Check the speed of your lathe before you turn it on; do not use excessive speeds.
Ensure there is adequate lighting for your work. The lathe should have as much natural light as possible; place it by a window if your shop has one.
When using the indexing pin, make sure the lathe is unplugged to prevent the spindle from rotating accidentally; be sure to disengage the pin before plugging in the lathe.
Check for defects in the wood you are planning to turn; avoid blanks that have twists, splits, or knots.
Always use the correct tool for the job.
While turning, concentrate on the work at hand, and take frequent breaks to avoid fatigue.
Always work with tools that are properly sharpened. Dull tools are more dangerous than sharp ones.
Keep the tool rest as close to the workpiece as possible without interfering with your ability to use your tools properly; rotate the work by hand first to see that it turns freely.
Do not operate the lathe under the influence of alcohol or medication.Visit the Woodworking Plans Website pages for more woodworking articles.
