Faceplate, 8.5x20 Bench Lathe

The 180mm diameter is just right for my hobby projects, and the slots let me secure odd-shaped parts without any fuss. Machined cleanly out of the box, so I didn't have to waste time deburring.

The 8 slots make mounting workpieces a breeze compared to my old three-jaw setup, and the 180mm diameter gives a solid footprint for larger stock. Spun a 6-inch disc true on my SC4 without any wobble, and the fit was snug from the start.

The mounting holes lined up perfectly with my lathe's spindle, so installation was straightforward. The 7.1-inch diameter gives plenty of room for larger workpieces without any wobble.
