The Art of communication is to communicate, No matter how you say it, if the

What he lacks in spelling he makes up with his willingness to share. You
gotta love love the guy, have not met him yet may get lucky one day and end up
in his neck of the woods .

Hay is what you feed to horses!
The hey you need is this spelling, and those of us who live in the land

"Hay" Cole! (Hay means, "Hello", for those of you on the other side of the
pond.) ;-p
I will send you a picture when I can, but this simple jig can be made by
anyone who owns a lathe with out any problems. (Yes its easer for those who own
a steel lathe, but even a wood lathe with a Jacobs chuck can do this with out
much troubles.) ;-) I could even do it on the Legacy, if I wanted to spend a
hole day drilling at a S L O W,
S P E E D. ;-P
Wait! I know that I said that with a Tung and cheek expression, BUT Why
not buy a 1x8 dia. at any machine supply store, and then you could make this
jig out of wood ,alum. or plastic, You do not have to be stuck, working with
steel , any material that can be made to fit a 1x8 thread could be used. Its
just a pointer/indexing method to put a piece of wood onto a faceplate, nothing
fancy is really needed here.
Now that I think about it, There is a third way you can get this job done
easily. mark an Big X in the center of your wood, and then place the faceplate
on the wood, and by eye, align the hole of the faceplate with the X, you should
get pretty close by lining the wood up this way. (that is at least until you
get your jig made up. :-) .)

Hello Everyone,
I made a tool a few years back that was made out of a 1x8 all thread rod,
with a center pin set in the middle of it,
When I was mounting a turning that was not centered I could use my
independent chuck with and on it even though the turning was not centered any
more. this device could be used on faceplates as well.
What I did was cut a 2" piece of all thread rod, and mount it in a lathe,
using a center drill I, drilled the center and put a spur in the hole, and then
drilled another hole across the ATR (All Thread rod.) so to make a turn screw
out of it.
I went one step farther, by drilling out the center on the back side of
the ATR with a 5/8" hole, so it can be mounted on my Shop-smith lathe, ( I know
you don't need this extra hole, but for me it greatly speeded up production
time, for my re-polishing of old dummy arms, ones that are cut off center with
a band saw, after the turnings are completed.
I have pictures of this, (I can send you them when I get home.) on my
computer, but Im at work at this min. and will not be home until at least
midnight.
gota run!!!!
more latter.

1. Get it as close as you can and re-mill the outer edge
2. Fit a dowel in your face plate center. Mill a hole in the MDF while
on the rotary table the same size. Dowel will be the alignment and be pulled
out when the MDF is secured to the plate.
I choose 1.
But since I waste a lot of face boards I have a dowel with a finish nail
in the center. I drill a hole, use a compass to draw my plate size, band-saw
to size, mill to perfection while spinning.
Mike
OK

So you have a piece that is already round that you are trying to
center on a face plate. Is that correct?

I know its in here already but have not been able to find post. I
would like to try faceplate turning and i think I need to find exact center of
stock before I screw it down . Is there tool or punch that would sit inside my
faceplate ? I have 1x8tpi threads .
