Faceplate, Mini Lathe, 100 mm Flange

I was glad to see the 160 mm diameter gave me plenty of room to bolt down irregular pieces. The 72 mm registration recess made centering on the spindle straightforward.

The cast iron construction feels incredibly solid, and those 8 slots make mounting work a breeze. I was able to center my bowl blank perfectly using the 72mm registration recess. Exactly what I needed for my lathe.

The registration recess is a perfect 72mm fit on my spindle, so there's zero wobble when I spin it up. The 8 slots give me plenty of options for clamping odd-shaped stock, and the cast iron holds everything steady without flexing.
