Tooshed's Lathe Faceplate

<< < (2/3) > >>

RobWilson:
Odd having  a MT mounted face plate   :scratch:  .why did you not make  it so that it would just screw onto the  lathe spindle nose , it would be a lot more  rigid setup .

Toolshed:
Because I can cut a morse taper.  I don't have gears for cutting threads.

southbendkid:
Nice, Why haven't I seen it before Rob?  :wave: I didn't put slots in my homemade face plate either, just tapped holes. Galling is only a problem when the metals are similar.

daGrouch:
Nice work.  Do you use it for turning wood or metal?
I want to make one for my metal lathe but am concerned about resonance and 'ringing' if used for metal working.
Can anyone with experience let me know how it's working?

mechman48:
Nice work Toolshed...Have you considered any imbalance into the equation... where you've drill/tapped one location have you done the same diametrically opposite as some look offset, or is my eyesight getting worse  :scratch:  :headbang:

George.
