Faceplate lathe

Face plates are fasteners used to securely and stably attach the workpiece to the shaft of the lathe. As a rule, face plates are screwed directly onto the shaft of the lathe. They have several holes through which the wood is connected 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.

A faceplate holds the workpiece securely and stably to the lathe, allowing the woodturner to work with precision. By attaching directly to the lathe shaft, the faceplate minimizes vibration and ensures a reliable connection between the workpiece and the machine. This allows for precise machining and the implementation of creative ideas.

Choosing the right faceplate is critical to the quality and safety of your 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.
