|Mounting the tools ||
* The advantages of HSS (cheap, robust, resharpenable) and why not to use carbide till level-2
* Brief visible inspection of tools before fitting, checking for sharpness
* Holding the tools in the holders, keeping as little as possible sticking out
Line 142 ⟶ 143:
** Using the dial on the tail-stock to pick a depth
** Depth from tip and depth from shoulder drilling.
** Watching out for thermal issues, flood coolant preferred.
** "Pecking" drill pattern.

Using a drill safely and to the target depth
|-
| Parting off ||
* Using the HSS parting blade only at this level
* Setting tool stick-out, cover maximum parting depth based on the tools protrusion and absolute max (20mm depth of cut)
* The need to ensure very accurate perpendicular tool positioning and precise and very even movement.
* Parting should be done at less than 35% spindle speed compared to other cuts and why that is
* Use of copious cutting lubricant and frequently reapplied or ideally the flood coolant.
||
Ideally people should be able to do this to use the lathe properly but induction level-1 shouldn't cover grooving or use of carbide
|-
|Cleaning ||
* No workpiece left in, no tool left mounted, nothing in tailstock
* Picking up swarf, watching out for sharp edges and cuts.
* Draining swarf if you've used flood coolant.
* Where to put the waste swarf.
* Wiping down the machine and especially the bed, reoiling after wipe down if heavy cleaning was needed.
* Cleaning the guard
* Mopping up any spilled coolant
* Don't expect the lathe to be left spotless, just all the swarf gone

Keeping the Lathe clean!
