I know I havn't used a face plate for turning between centres since highschool and I have never cut a multi start thread (I always buy them as T-rod), but I did remember that tidbit of theory.
The only time I use a faceplate is with really odd parts that get clamped to it such as you would do to a mill table.
Do any of you people use a face plate for between centre turning?
I always turn a centre and drive on the chuck jaw.
