Size: 4 inch (100 mm) diameter. Thread options: Available thread sizes to match your lathe nose. 1' x 8 TPI; M33 x 3.5; M18 x 2.5. Function: Provides a stable, flat mounting surface for turning wood on a lathe, enabling secure attachment of workpieces and consistent results. Compatibility: Suitable for lathes and chucks that accept the listed thread standards. Verify your spindle nose thread before ordering. Performance: The robust steel construction supports careful turning of larger or heavier workpieces with improved rigidity and finish quality. 23 practical use scenarios Bowl or platter turning: Attach a blank to the faceplate with screws and turn the exterior to the desired profile, achieving a stable mounting and cleaner finish. Lid or turning: Mount flat or slightly domed workpieces such as lids or vessel tops on the faceplate for accurate concentric turning and surface finish. Irregular or heavy workpieces: Use the faceplate's solid mounting surface for pieces that require secure, grip attachment beyond a chuck, reducing wobble and improving control during shaping.
