Review on ๐Ÿ”ฉ PSI Woodworking CF4J Lathe Faceplate: 4" Without Screwchuck for 1" x 8 tpi Spindle by William Byrd

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Inexpensive and well made

When you are a wood turner making shells you can never have enough ammo. If I had a big budget I would have a few Nova cartridges, a vacuum cartridge, a Cole cartridge and other specialized cartridges, but like most amateurs, my budget is limited - at least for now. I rely heavily on temporary chucks and softwood glue blocks that attach to small, inexpensive faceplates like this one. About $18 for a 2" model, it's cheap enough that I can keep several on hand, each with their own special temporary wooden cartridge. I can also use it with the appropriate threaded centering adapter to make special tailstock supports for turning non-standard objects. This is a well made item at a good price.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Appearance
