Faceplate

The faceplate can be used to turn non-cylindrical parts or
for off-center turning by clamping the workpiece to the
faceplate.
Refer to the Mounting Chuck or Faceplate procedures on
Page 16 to mount the faceplate.
To load a workpiece onto the faceplate:
1. DISCONNECT POWER TO THE LATHE!
2. Support the workpiece.
3. Slide the tailstock to the workpiece.
4. Lock the tailstock, then turn the tailstock quill so
the dead center makes contact with the center point
of your workpiece.
5. Lock the tailstock quill when sufficient pressure is
applied to hold the workpiece in place.
Note: Depending on the workpiece, some additional
support may be needed.
6. Secure the workpiece with a minimum of three inde-
pendent clamping devices. Failure to follow this step
may lead to deadly injury to yourself or bystanders.
Take into account rotation and the cutting forces
applied to the workpiece when clamping to the face-
plate. Make sure your clamping application will not
fail!
7. Use a lower RPM when machining heavy eccentric
workpieces.
