The accompanying illustrations show the construction of a beading spindle for a woodworking lathe. The table standard with bearings can be one casting as shown, and made to fix to the lathe bed in the same manner as the rest or headstock. A hardwood disc must be turned and secured to the mandril of the fixed headstock as shown at A (Fig. 1). The beading spindle must be provided with a grooved pulley, into which an indiarubber ring must be fixed and pressed firmly to the disc A as'indicated. Fig. 2 is a side view of the table standard as fixed to the lathe bed. Fig. 3 is a part plan of the table and fence. Fig. 4 shows the top with movable disc, and slotted for set-screws for the fence. Fig. 5 shows the top part of the spindle; and Fig. 6 one form of solid cutter for beading. The size can be varied to suit circumstances.
