Hi Ron
?
The best your going to come up with is finding a
suitable face plate with a 1 inch thread and send it to me as I can open it up
to the 1 1/4 - 12 thread.?The miner diameter of a 1 1/4 - 12 is 1.156
so?you can open up a?1 inch 10 thread just fine?either by single
pointing the thread or I do have a tap for cutting this thread.? I do not
like to use the tap on a chuck back plate as it makes the thread a little loser
than I like for a chuck but it has worked well for a face plate.?
?
There were no other lathes I have ever found that
used this thread on the spindle nose.
?
I just got a nice 6 3/4 face plate with a 1 - 12
thread and it looks just like a Dalton one I have but I have no idea of what it
went to.? Just keep looking and you will come up with
something.
?

Anyone know where I can find a lathe face plate that fits the
nose of a
B-4. I think the thread is 1 1/4 x 12 TPI.
