Faceplate on livecenter 3520

>Has anyone come up with a mounting of faceplate on livecenter for the PM 3520? I have made one with wood that mounts over the threads, but it would be simple if someone made an adapter/insert to fit the 3/4 10 tpi for faceplate mounting.

Thanks

I have been turning wood for about 12 years now. I consume about 20 hours a week in front of the lathe making primarly bowls and platters. I keep thinking about making other "stuff" on the lathe, and ocasionaly I even get beyond the thinking part. But I take the most pleasure in bowls and platters. I have most every tool availble for the lathe but I am always looking for a new tool. More than looking for a new tool I am looking for a new hunk of wood. While a corner woodworker (sometimes called flat woodworker) can never have enough clamps, I find most woodturners can never have enough turning stock. The woodturning club I belong to has a Christmas party each year and part of that party is a "grab bag". We bring in a turning, that is judged by the people who come to the party. The people who make the top three turnings get prizes (like sandpaper or a tool). The real prize though is the exchange of turnings that comes from this colection of turnings. Some of my most cherished turned objects are the ones I have recieved from these grab bags.

>I am sure a decent machinist could handle the tapping and threading of either aluminium or steel for such a faceplate. I know of at least one guy in our club who could do it easy.

>ENCO has 3/4"x10 nuts for $1.08 each. Hardened. I don't know if this helps, but while you are ordering you could look and see if they have a huge washer and have the washer welded to the nut and you got a faceplate for you live center.
