Installing/Removing Faceplate - Woodstock SHOP FOX W1758 Owner's Manual

Installing/Removing
Faceplate
The faceplate is used for removing material from the face
of the workpiece, such as in hollowing operations. The
faceplate can be installed only if the center has been
removed from the headstock spindle.
To install the faceplate onto the spindle, do these
steps:
1.
DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM POWER!
2. If the headstock center is installed, remove it (refer
to Page 18 for instructions).
3. Thread the faceplate onto the headstock spindle.
4. Using the two included 34mm flat wrenches, tighten
the faceplate, as shown in Figure 21.
Note: To remove the faceplate, reverse Steps 3–4.
For detailed instructions on mounting a workpiece to the
faceplate, refer to Faceplate Turning on Page 24.

Figure 21. Tightening faceplate onto
headstock spindle.
Always make sure that the workpiece
is firmly attached to the faceplate and
the faceplate is fully tightened onto
the headstock spindle before turning
the lathe ON. Otherwise the spinning
workpiece or faceplate could fly off
the spindle and cause death or seri-
ous personal injury.
