The faceplate can be used to turn non-cylindrical parts or
for off-center turning by clamping the workpiece to the
faceplate.
To install the faceplate, do these steps:
Refer to the Three-Jaw Direct Mount Scroll Chuck pro-
cedures on Page 15 to mount the faceplate.
To load a workpiece, do these steps:
1. Support the workpiece.
2. Slide the tailstock to the workpiece.
3. Lock the tailstock and then turn the tailstock quill so
the dead center makes contact with the center point
of your workpiece.
4. Lock the tailstock quill when sufficient pressure is
applied to hold the workpiece in place.
Note: Depending on the workpiece, some additional
support may be needed.
5. Secure the workpiece with a minimum of three inde-
pendent clamping devices. Failure to follow this step
may lead to deadly injury to yourself or bystanders.
Take into account rotation and the cutting forces
applied to the workpiece when clamping to the face-
plate. Make sure your clamping application will not
fail!
6. Use a lower RPM when machining heavy eccentric
workpieces.
Using the Faceplate
Figure 22. Faceplate installed.
Securely clamp your workpiece and
remove the chuck key! Thrown objects
from a lathe/mill can cause serious injury
or death to the operator and to bystand-
ers many feet away.
Use a minimum of three independent
clamping devices when turning eccentric
workpieces. Failure to provide adequate
clamping will cause workpiece to eject.
