I read the information in the "screw chuck vs. face plate" thread and found some excellent information.
My question is "At what point did you decide to buy a larger faceplate than the 3" one that probably came with your lathe?" I'm roughing out some wet wood bowls that are (or will soon be) approaching 15" in diameter. At 12" diameter, I have begun to wonder the safety of using a 3" faceplate. Has AAW published any safety guidelines?
The information regarding the screw chuck and mounting between centers posted in the thread mentioned above provides excellent insight for smaller size blanks.
