This 6" faceplate is a dependable workholding option for spindle and facework on wood lathes fitted with a standard 1" × 8 TPI spindle. Sized for bowls, platters, and irregular stock, it provides a stable mounting surface without unnecessary bulk.
Made of machined steel, the plate runs true and resists vibration even at lower speeds where faceplate work is most often done. The flat, rigid body supports secure screw mounting, while the evenly spaced holes allow flexibility in screw placement to suit a variety of workpieces.
The hub is cleanly threaded and seats fully against the spindle shoulder, ensuring proper alignment and repeatable mounting. A black oxide finish helps resist corrosion and reduces glare at the lathe.
This is a straightforward, well-made faceplate intended to do one job well—hold your work securely so you can focus on turning.
