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 36. This
type of turning is usually done with open-faced
workpieces like bowls or plates.

Mounting Workpiece to Faceplate
1. Mark workpiece center in same manner as
described in Spindle Turning (see Page 25).
Note: Cut off corners of workpiece to make it
as close to "round" as possible, as described
in Spindle Turning on Page 25.
2. Center faceplate on workpiece and attach
with wood screws that do not have tapered
heads (see Figure 37).
3. Thread and secure faceplate onto head-
stock spindle (refer to Removing/Installing
Faceplate on Page 23 for faceplate mount-
ing instructions).
— If wood screws cannot be placed in the
workpiece, the faceplate can be mount-
ed to a backing block attached to the
workpiece (see Mounting Workpiece to
Backing Block on Page 28).

operation.
