Thread: weiler mdu 260 faceplate

hello

i was wondering if any one knows how to take off weiler mdu 260 faceplate?

thanks

the face plate has a collar with an Alan screw...

I have a manual for that lathe and will look it up.
I think the lathe has just a threaded nose (DIN 800?). To stop the spindle from turning you open the cover plate of the headstock and swivel a little lock into place.

yes is has a pin next to the cover plate...its threaded nose but i don't know what type it is (id liked to so i can make or order one)...

The MDU spindle nose should be to the DIN 800 specification in 60mm X 4MM

I am in the midst of making up a batch of three face plates and chuck mounting plates for an LZ330 with the same spindle nose. I've only produced the "plug thread guage" so far.
Waiting on the correct "moment".

Cheers
