Faceplate Turning
Faceplate turning is when a workpiece is mounted
to the faceplate, which is then mounted to the
headstock spindle, as shown in
Figure 25. This
type of turning is usually done with open-faced
workpieces such as bowls or plates.
2. Center faceplate on workpiece and attach it
with wood screws (see Figure 26).
3. Thread and secure faceplate onto headstock
spindle (refer to Installing Faceplate on
Page 22).
— If wood screws cannot be placed in
workpiece, faceplate can be mounted to a
backing block attached to workpiece (see
Mounting Workpiece on Backing Block
on next page).
