Versa-Mount

[Tom Bucanan]

Has anyone used the Oneway Versa Mount Faceplates? They definitely could cut out alot of the time it take to mount a blank when rough turning as you could get many of the faceplate rings for alot cheaper than alot of normal faceplates. Can these be used on large blanks (16-20")? Are they safe?

The Versa Mount is similar to a system I've had for years from Reid Manufacturing, although the OneWay product is more refined. (And more expensive...)

I suspect I'd be more comfortable using a traditional heavy face plate for very large turnings, especially those that require lag bolts to hold in place.

I tried to post the same question on the Oneway forum and I still haven't gotten a response. So no one has used this new system? I guess I'll just stick to normal faceplates.

I have heard great things about Versa Mount and have a MiniMax lathe with a 30x3.5 spindle and have been considering this since I can get an adapter to fit my lathe and when I upgrade to a Robust can either just get the new adapter and everything else will work fine.
