This review is from: Grizzly H3409 Aluminum Faceplate - 2" x 3/4" x 16 TPI (Misc.)

Figured I would go ahead and take a gamble on this cheap face plate thinking my odds were good with the brand name Grizzle on it. Sadly I lost out. The biggest design flaw is that it is only 5/8" thick (which is not noted in the product description). This means that once the face plate is fully threaded onto the arbor it is exposed by 3/8" past the face (on my 1" long arbor). Another problem is that the threads only extend for roughly 5/16" in from the face (also not mentioned in the product description). Lastly, none of the edges were sanded down after milling.
I only gave this 2 stars because it may possibly work great on a mini lathe or some other lathe, however if that is the case it needs to be mentioned in the PRODUCT DESCRIPTION!
