After workpiece is secured by jaws, use dial
indicator to make sure workpiece is centered

Faceplate

Refer to the prior Chuck Installation and Chuck
Removal subsections for instructions on installing
or removing the faceplate.
The faceplate included with your lathe can be
used for a wide range of operations, including
machining non-concentric workpieces, straight
turning between centers, off-center turning, and
boring.
The tools needed for mounting a workpiece will
vary depending on the type of setup you have.
Machining non-concentric workpieces at
high speeds could cause the workpiece to
be thrown from the lathe with deadly force.
To reduce this risk, only machine non-
concentric workpieces at low speeds and
clamp counter-weights to the faceplate to
balance it.
Failure to properly secure a workpiece to
the faceplate could cause the workpiece
to be thrown from the lathe with deadly
force. To reduce this risk, use a minimum
of THREE independent clamping devices to
hold the workpiece onto the faceplate.
