FACEPLATE TURNING
Mount most turnings that cannot be worked between centers on a faceplate. Some jobs require special chucks. All cutting
in faceplate work is done by scraping. Any attempt to use a cutting technique on the edge grain of large workpiece will
result in a hogging, gouging cut which may jerk the chisel out of your hands. Use a band saw on all workpiece to roughly cut
the turning area to eliminate heavy roughing cuts in turning.
MOUNTING THE WORKPIECE TO THE FACEPLATE
Fig. A39 shows direct mounting the workpiece to the 3" faceplate, along with attaching it to the backing block. Because of
the ease of setting up, use this mounting whenever the work permits. Hold larger pieces in the same way by using the 6"
faceplate. When normal screw-fastenings interfere, mount the workpiece on a backing block (Fig. A39). When screws are
not permissible at all, glue the workpiece to the backing block by fitting a sheet of paper at the joint to allow later separation
without damaging the wood. Some workpieces can be screwed or nailed from the face side into the backing block. Mount
workpieces less than 3” in diameter on a single screw center (Fig. A40).

MAINTENANCE
KEEP MACHINE CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp
cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
FAILURE TO START
Should your machine fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making good contact in the
outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in the line.
LUBRICATION & RUST PROTECTION
Apply household floor paste wax to the machine table, extension table or other work surface weekly. Or use a commercially
available protective product designed for this purpose. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use and safety.
To clean cast iron tables of rust, you will need the following materials: a sheet of medium Scotch-Brite™ Blending Hand
Pad, a can of WD-40
®
and a can of degreaser. Apply the WD-40 and polish the table surface with the Scotch-Brite pad.
Degrease the table, then apply the protective product as described above.
Wear certified safety equipment for eye, hearing and respiratory protection while using compressed air.
