I do not have a face plate ring. So instead I just glued on a piece of 1/4 inch stock which I turned to dovetail shape to match my biggest chuck jaws. I recessed and glued with epoxy the head of the lag screw. It works pretty well and saved me about $30. Thank you for sharing, Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Thanks for putting this out. A couple things: I followed your link and got a set of the countersinks you used. I just ran into an issue drilling a pen blank with the drill bit wandering more than I wanted as it went into the little dip left by the live center; I think these will help mitigate that. Secondly, that use of a piece of strap iron to reinforce the lag screw is brilliant -- that should really help with the longevity of the screw chuck.
Thank you very much for your informative video. It is not necessary to drill a hole for screws. The screws are well screwed in without holes. Check on the board trim. 4:19 do not use a scraper, use the wings of the reer (Bowl Gouge - 55° - 60°). Health and success in work. Thank you.
Yes, a bowl gouge could be used. It is a matter of preference. I find my approach on drilling the center hole better insures centering. Just using a screw can be off a tiny bit. YMMV
@@MikePeaceWoodturning The scraper scrapes the wood and can pull out part of it. bowl gouge - it cuts wood without pulling it out. You still center the tree with a chisel after screwing :) Thank you.
Chuck may object to your suggestion, however, I Screw Chuck frequently and am usually satisfied with the results. Especially helpful on small bowls to finish the bottom completely, with a small tenon or recess for reversing on the scroll chuck, before hollowing the inside.
It's a great idea as long as you have a spare face plate. Does the larger back plate provide more support for the piece being turned, compared to using a regular worm screw that mounts in the chuck jaws?
You could always glue to a threaded glueblock. Or as Glen suggested in his comment, just turn a tenon and hold it in a chuck. Yes, the larger wood surface makes it stronger as it provides more friction but also more lateral support. I find this easier to mount and dismount a blank compared to using a woodworm screw.
Mike nice project and will prove useful. However, my OCD side kicked in when I saw you went through the board without either filling them in, or jprobablly better, go back and drill the others all the way through. The holes would then make a symmetrical pattern on the front of the plate. 🙄 Cheers, Tom

Yours is a good solution.

Another option besides the strap is to file the inside of a fender washer with a couple of holes or notches to hold it.
Great idea Mike.
Thanks 👍
Bought you a few coffees. It's about time I showed you some appreciation for all the tips over the years
Thanks for another great tip Mike 🤠🇨🇱
Any time!
Nice idea if you don't have a chuck and woodworm screw ..and Nice touch with the little bracket to insure the screw doesn't slip. Thanks
As one viewer commented, you could modify a fender washer also

Very nice 👍
Thank you 👍
'Thanks for sharing. .-
You bet!
Hey Mike, great video. I’m gonna follow your instructions and make me one . I think even I won’t mess this up😅!
You can do it!
Thanks for the tip. An automotive body or fender washer would be a good alternative for center screw support.
Excellent suggestion. Thanks!
Thanks Mike!
You bet, Lewis!
I recently made one myself, it looks pretty similar! 😎
Cool!

I would be inclined to use a hardened lag bolt. To secure the bolt's head, I would counterbore and fill with epoxy - good ol' J-B Weld.
A hardened screw is not necessary. Epoxy has failed me in the past for holding a lag bolt. YMMV
