Faceplate

Refer to the

Chuck Installation (see Page 27)

and

Chuck Removal (see Page 28) instructions

to install or remove 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 a

high speed could cause the workpiece to be

thrown from the spindle with deadly force

at the operator or bystanders. 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 at

the operator or bystanders. Use a minimum

of THREE independent clamping devices to

hold the workpiece onto the faceplate.

To mount a non-concentric workpiece to the

faceplate:

1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

2. Protect the bedway with a piece of plywood.

3. With help from another person or a holding

device to support the workpiece, position it
onto the faceplate and clamp it in place with
a minimum of three independent clamping
devices (see

Figure 32 for an example).

Be sure to take into account the rotational
and cutting forces that will be applied to the
workpiece when clamping it to the faceplate.
If necessary, use counter-weights to balance
the assembly and use a dial indicator to make
sure that the workpiece is properly positioned
for your operation.
