5.0 out of 5 stars Great plate for turning., October 15, 2001

I have used these plates for turning wood bowls in the past, and I have found nothing that I like better. I successfully turned an 18 inch oak bowl by mounting it onto this base plate. (I have to admit I was surprised at how beautiful it turned out, since it was my second major attempt at turning bowls)

I STRONGLY recommend purchasing this plate if you are planning on doing any serious bowl turning, since if you use a smaller plate the bowl may become detached when you apply pressure with the chisels, leaving you with a waste of time rather than a piece of art.

Good luck turning!

The Delta 46-937 6 inch face plate fits lathes with 1"- 8 spindles and is machined for both right and left hand mounting (inboard and outboard turning). I looked for a long time to find one of these face plates used with no luck...so here you are getting one new and at a somewhat reduced price. I had no problems with item condition or delivery time with the super saver option.

4.0 out of 5 stars Serious bowl turning, December 17, 2007

This is a great faceplate, unlike the 3" ones also made by delta. Their metal is too soft for using hex screws which grip much better than wood screws. I use washers, as the hex head machine screws seat a little better on the rough cast holes. I've turned a couple 14-16" bowls from cherry on the outboard spindle of my old 46-111 rockwell/delta lathe.
