• Are you looking for a coupon code to buy my software? You can get one from lots of 3rd party sites but they won't work. My software never goes on sale and has never been discounted. The only coupon codes that are given is when I give a club presentation and I offer a discount to the attendees. Other than that, everyone pays the same price.

What is best size Face plate 2 1/2, 3 1/2, or 4 1/2 to use for segmented turning

I think he's asking about face plates not face shields.

It depends on the size of the turning. Use a larger face plate for larger diameter turnings.

Ooops. I you are correct. I plead old age.

As far as faceplates. I have various sizes depending on what I am going to turn. As far as sources , do a simple google search. Amazon has some good deals on faceplates.

That should do you nicely. I do have a 2 1/2. for smaller turnings. One thing to consider is your waste block can be bigger diameter than the faceplate to account for larger base vessels. One thing to consider is my waste block is made up of two parts. The bottom part which is attached to the face plate and a top piece that is glued to the bottom. I generally turn an indent and leave a 1" ring for gluing.
