Check out the faceplates from Steve Mink at
http://www.minkcrafts.com/minkcraft_...e_pricing.html They aren't identical to the Oneway, but they will fit it. Matt Heffron Inland Woodturners "Lewis Dodd" wrote in message ... Wanted to buy, 33mmX3.5 Oneway faceplates, 3" and 4". Thanks Lewis |

Faceplates
I've used faceplates from Oneway, Bestwood Tools and Don Pencil.
All are good quality faceplates. If you want ultra strong faceplates, go with Oneway. If you want several faceplates that are good quality, but lower cost either Bestwood Tools or Don Pencil make good aluminum faceplates. I'd recommend you look for a faceplate that has several screw holes rather than simply four like some that are sold. Oneway, Bestwood and Pencil's all have several screw holes for screwing the work to the faceplate. Don Pencil: http://www.donpencil.com/faceplates.htm One thing I like about the faceplates from Don Pencil is they are color coded. So if you have more than one machine, you will recognize at a quick glace the appropriate faceplate for the given lathe. He also offers a center marker. The center marker is good and I find it works with my other faceplates and chucks. So when you want to reverse turn the piece you have a center mark. Makes it easier to align the piece then. Don offers 2.5" and 4" faceplates for the Oneway that are listed on his website. Maybe he will also make 3". I wouldn't mind getting some 3" plates myself. His prices for the 2.5" are $24.95 (8 holes) and for the 4" are 29.95 (8 holes). The center finder is 16.95. Order five or more of one item and get 10% off. The steel punch for the center finder also works as the breaker bar to remove the faceplate from the lathe. Oneway: http://www.oneway.on.ca/Intro.html 3" are available in Stainless Steel 49.95 or Carbon Steel 39.95. Both are machined rather than cast and have 6 holes. The 4" plates are 44.95 with 9 holes. Oneway faceplates have a hole for use with their breaker bar in removing the faceplate. Bestwoodtools: http://www.bestwoodtools.com/ 3" faceplates are 29.99 with 6 holes. 4.5" faceplates are 39.99 with 12 holes. The holes on the face side of the faceplate are countersunk to allow the wood fibers to expand without causing the work piece to move away from the faceplate. Holes are sized for #14 screws or 1/4 lag bolts. 3/8" hole in the flange to use with a bar for removing the faceplate from the lathe. "Lewis Dodd" wrote in message ...
