SPINDLE DECORATnNG
Your Recreator is also capable of adding decorative
rings, or axial veins and grooves on spindles up to 24
inches long_
These decorative cuts can be made from a drawing
template or an existing turning, Some exact
duplicates of original turnings may not be possible
because of the contours that are available from
router bits,
MOUNTING THE SPINDLE
This operation will require --
1 ca. Work Mount
1 ca. 3/8-!6 x 1-1/2 inch Hex head bolt
1 ca. cone point spindle mount
3 ca. 3/8"-16 Hex Jam nuts.
1 ca. 3/8 x 7/8 x 5/64 inch washer
Locate the center of each end of the spindle and
make an impression with a hammer and punch.
Cut a piece of brown kraft paper (paper bag) the size
of the work mount and cut a hole in the center of the
paper over the T nut,
Screw the cone point spindle mount through the
work mount allowing the cone point to protrude
above the face of the work mount T nut.
Take the brown paper, coat both sides with
carpenters glue and lay it on the work mount. With
the paper in place, lay the work mount on the end of
the spindle. Using the cone point spindle mount as a
centering point, align it with the impression
previously made in the center of the spindle.
Carefully back the cone point spindle mount away
from the workpiece and allow these pieces to dry. If
done correctly this will center the spindle on the
work mount.

Remove the two inner shelf boards and re-install
one of them vertically spacing it away fromthe front
shelf board the length of the spindle plus 1-3/4 inch.
Screw one 3/8" nut on the cone point spindle mount.
Place the spindle mount through the top right hand
hole of the center shelf board. Install a second 3/8"
nut on the end of the cone point spindle mount
protruding through the shelf board.

rig ht ha nd hole of the front shelf board and secure it
with a flat washer and nut,
Take the spindle and work mount, after it has
sufficiently dried, and screw it on the Hex head bolt
located in the front shelf board,
While holding the spindle in place screw the cone
point spindle mount until it engages the impression
in the spindle center.
To secure the spindle:
A. Spin the inside hex nut on the cone point spindle
mount until it strikes the shelf board.
B, Tighten the hex nut on at the front shelf board
until it is snug against the work mount.
C, Tighten the hex nut on the back side of the cone
point spindle mount to prevent it from rotating,
