Choosing the Right Faceplate for Your Project

When selecting afaceplate, it's important to consider the size of your project and the type of wood lathe you're using. A larger faceplate is typically better suited for heavier or wider workpieces, as it distributes the load more evenly and provides greater stability. Smaller faceplates are ideal for lighter, more delicate pieces. At The Woodturning Store, we recommend Hurricane Turning Tools faceplates for their quality and versatility, ensuring you have the right tools for every project.

Faceplate Applications

Wood lathe faceplates are commonly used for turning large objects such as bowls, platters, and disks. Unlike chucks, faceplates are screwed directly into the workpiece, providing a secure hold during the turning process. They are especially useful for roughing out large, heavy workpieces where maximum stability is needed. Hurricane faceplates are designed to handle these demanding tasks, ensuring that your workpiece remains securely mounted throughout the process.
