Best Answer

On a wood turning lathe, the faceplate is screwed to the piece of wood, then the faceplate is held in place by the chuck. This facilitates free-wheeling the opposite end for such items as bowls.

Almost similar to a wood turning lathe, the face plate on a metal lathe is a device that is used instead of a chuck. It allows a workpiece to be clamped or bolted to it for machining.
