Faceplates

Face plates are fastening elements with which the workpiece is securely and stably fastened to the shaft of the woodturninglathe. Faceplates are screwed directly onto the shaft of the lathe. They have several holes through which the wood is screwed to the faceplate. The size of a faceplate depends on the size of the wood blank. The larger the wood, the larger the diameter of the faceplate should be. The rule of thumb is that the diameter of the faceplate should be about one third of the wood blank.

With a faceplate, the workpiece is held securely and stably on the lathe so that the turner can work precisely. By attaching directly to the lathe shaft, the faceplate minimises vibration and ensures a reliable connection between the workpiece and the machine. This enables precise machining and the realisation of creative ideas.

Choosing the right faceplate is crucial for the quality and safety of the woodturning work. Make sure that the size of the faceplate fits the wood blank to ensure a stable fixation. For larger wood blanks, use an appropriately sized faceplate to ensure safe working.
