Faceplate Turning

Faceplate turning is when a workpiece is mounted

to the faceplate, which is then mounted to the

headstock spindle. This type of turning is usually

done with open-faced workpieces like bowls or

plates.

Figure 43. Typical faceplate turning operation.

To mount the workpiece onto the faceplate:

1. Mark the workpiece center as in Spindle

Turning (see Page 28).

Note: Cut off corners of the workpiece to

make it as close to "round" as possible.

2. Center the faceplate on the workpiece and

attach it with wood screws that do not have

tapered heads (see

Figure 44).

Faceplate Turning

3. Thread and secure the faceplate onto the

headstock spindle (refer to Headstock

Faceplate on Page 23 for faceplate mount-

ing instructions).

If wood screws cannot be placed in the workpiece,

then the faceplate can be mounted on a backing

block that is glued to the workpiece.

To mount your workpiece to a backing block:

1. Make the backing block from a piece of scrap

wood that is flat on both sides.

2. Locate and mark the center of both the

workpiece and backing block.

3. Drill a

1

⁄4" hole through the center of the back-

ing block.

4. Looking through the hole in the backing block

to line up the center with the workpiece,

glue and clamp the backing block to the

workpiece.

Note: Allow the glue to cure according to the

manufacturer's instructions.

mounting faceplate to workpiece.

NOTICE

Only use tap screws or wood screws with

non-tapered heads (Figure 45) to attach the

faceplate to the workpiece. Do NOT use dry-

wall screws or screws with tapered heads

because they can split the faceplate, or the

screws may snap off during operation.
