Yeah, I don't have a face plate for it. Kinda of hard to find spare parts for a 1945-50 Craftsman, although I do have a complete spare and extra head for it.
MT-1 is not that common most lathes are MT-2 I believe at least the hobby size.
I'll have to find out the TPI and have a plate made or adapt one to fit.
Getting tired of making brushes (not!) nice to be able to spin something else....
