| Centre Lathe Accessories - Face plate |
| Video 1 Video 2 | ||
| A lathe faceplate is a basic
work holding accessory for a centre lathe. It is a circular metal
(usually cast iron) plate which fixes to the end of the lathe spindle.
The work piece is then clamped to the faceplate, typically using t-nuts
in slots in the faceplate, or less commonly threaded holes in the
faceplate itself. It may be necessary to use counter balancers when there is vibration. An angle pate can also be used on faceplate when a part such as a pedestal bearing has to be machined. |
