Jody , If I am reading you correctly this is actually two separate issues . . . . ? For driving a workpiece between centres the lathe dog is fine and a 6” faceplate is a convenient way to engage it

I have a 6" plate, never needed anything bigger, and always use standard dogs. Kurt S. Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S7, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone

Thanks! I'll look into it.

I'm needing tooling for turning between centers and sparked a couple of questions.? My lathe is 12x24 101.07403 1)? Should I pay a little more and get the 8" faceplate instead of 6" 2) Do you guys
