The G1067Z 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 indexing pin to hold the spindle from rotating while tightening down or removing the face plate (Figure 12). DO NOT use the face plate in conjunction with the spur center. Mount your workpiece to the face plate using the mounting holes bored into the face plate.

Figure 12.

The contact area between the workpiece and the face plate must be flush with one another. Failure to do this could result in the face plate distorting or breaking when it is screwed to the workpiece, or during use, causing injury or death.

The joints of glued-up workpieces should be high quality to prevent them from break- ing under the extreme forces of lathe turn- ing. Consult in-depth trade manuals and instructional books for correct techniques when gluing up a workpiece from multiple pieces. If a joint fails during a lathe turning operation, serious injury or death could occur.
