The good old face plate... found in the bottom of every lathe covered in rust :)

Thanks John

Yes, the video is really appreciated. It widens the fantasy as well as it tells "how to" in several aspects.

Enjoying the education! Thanks.

Great video John, keep'um coming #1.

Nice one.

Great video John. I made a few special T nuts for my faceplate which spread the clamping load on the back of the faceplate casting slots.

Hi Jon. These tutorials are really useful and very interesting, thanks for sharing. 👍

Thanks, John, I used to love setting up work on the face plate for some reason. Just to bore a hole out that would only take 5 minutes and 1 hour to set up sometimes. lol

Thank you for these tutorials John i appreciate it

Thanks John. Great instructional video.

Love the tutorials. Just curious about your iron, if I had a spare I'd send it your way.🤣 Keep up the good work. Always entertaining.

Thanks for sharing 👍

Good tips as always.

Very good.

Another good one John! Now give us an episode on the boring bar!

thank you Jon, Paul here in the US, Florida

A great video John, thanks for sharing 👍

Very nice video with good tips and safety advice.

Thank you Sir. I have been wanting to learn more about my faceplate. This is some good information.

that was really good , not many u tubers touch on the faceplate subject

Thank you great, video and well explained. Very helpful .

Thanks

Very interesting video John. Just wondering when and if you would do a job like this on the milling machine? Is it a case of finding a small enough boring head?

Hi John, Thank you for making these videos. Interesting stuff as always. Im yet to use a face plate. My face plate is still a blank plate (no mounting holes) What would be the best layout for the plate? Radial holes, increasing in number as i go out or a grid style? Also Holes or slots? Seen both designs but whats the most useful and safest in your opinion. Really want to keep my plate nice and good. Not holes when and wherever needed. Regards, Paul

John what lube do you use for drilling and tapping?

Was thinking his original speed was a little ambitious for a 29mm drill.... 😂

Question John: At you 9:40 did you say a 'Q' plate? I am not sure, thanks!

Good stuff John. These back to basics videos are great . I like the ten minute format , short but to the point.
