Face Plate
Figure 20. Face plate installed on spindle.
The G1495 is supplied with a 6'' face plate.The
faceplate is used for bowl and plate turning.
Install the face plate by threading the face plate
onto the inboard spindle. Use the knockout bar to
hold the spindle from rotating while tightening or
removing the face plate. Figure 20. Mount your
workpiece to the face plate using the mounting
holes which are bored through the face plate.
(1) The tailstock barrel lock handle must
always be locked down while the lathe is in
use. The workpiece can be thrown from the
lathe if this step is not observed. (2) The tail-
stock barrel should not protrude from the
tailstock housing more than 2''. Serious per-
sonal injury may occur.

A drill chuck (not supplied) can also be installed
in the tailstock arbor as long as it is a Morse
Taper #2 mounting. A chuck is useful if you wish
to do boring where the workpiece is held in the
chuck and a drill bit is placed in the tailstock. In
this application the tailstock handwheel would be
used to advance the piece into the stationary drill
bit.
