    I am a rank amateur having just started as a very new hobbyist. I am reasonable handy and am willing to try. Thankful for any guidance here.

    Default Faceplate Hercs 260

    Both. I believe that I will need same for a couple of exercises. e.g between centres for tapers where compound doesn't have the range?

    Regards

    So is it a face plate used for work holding ( bolting things too that are awkward to hold in a chuck ) or a drive plate/ dog plate used for driving a lathe dog for between centres work you are after?

    Default Faceplate/260

    Pipeclay thanks for your patience, the dog plate in the fist instance. The difficult to bolt will come later for me I am thinking.

    Regards

    Pipeclay, it would seem that Mal has a a dog plate in stock which I have ordered. However I will continue the search for faceplate.

    Do you realise that you can use a normal chuck for your between centres turning?
    If you really need a face plate I can make one.

    If you end up getting one made do you want it as a bare plate or would you want slots in it ?
