Using the Faceplate
Before installing or using the faceplate or
bowl turning tool rest, read and follow the
safety and operating instructions con-
tained in the owners manual furnished
with your wood turning lathe.
1. Do not use wood that is checked, split
or contains a knot because it could
come apart while turning and cause
an injury.
2. If the workpiece is glued together
(laminated) make sure that you follow
recognized gluing procedures in mak-
ing the joints so that they are sound,
otherwise the workpiece could come
apart and cause an injury.
3. Make sure that the surface of the
workpiece to which the faceplate is
attached, is as flat as the faceplate.
Otherwise
the
change position while turning and
cause excessive vibration. The work-
piece can be trued up (made flat) by
hand planeing or using a belt sander.
4. Before attaching a workpiece to the
faceplate, always cut it as "true round"
as possible, on the band saw, or cut
off the corners. This will minimize
vibration while rough turning.
5. To install faceplate on wood lathe
remove the 3/4"-16 hex nut from the
lathe spindle before mounting the 4
inch or 6 inch faceplate to the lathe
spindle. This is necessary in order to
provide full thread engagement of
faceplate to spindle.
Put a small amount of grease on the
spindle, this will make removal of the
faceplate easier.
6. If you have the 4 inch diameter face-
plate (AC8040) proceed to Step 6A:
If you have the 6 inch diameter face-
plate (AC8060) proceed to Step 6B:
Step 6A: Use the 4 inch faceplate
(AC8040) for turnings no more that 8
inches in diameter and 4 inches thick.
Attach to workpiece using 6 #12 flat-
head woodscrews, not less than 1
inch long.
