And Another Faceplate Question

[Richard Madison]

My friend has an aluminum faceplate with (I think) 1-1/2 threads. What lathe has these threads? A suitable insert, if one were available, would cost as much as a faceplate, but there must be some lathes out there with 1-1/2 spindle threads.

Is that by 8 TPI also?

Thanks Gordon. I will check the threads and tell my friend. He's a club member, so maybe can find another member that can use it. Mine is 1-1/4 and his is M33.
