I have a 3 or 4" Jet (EDIT - brand is Easy Wood Tools, not Jet - end EDIT)) faceplate on my Nova 3000 16" lathe. I have turned a 14 or so inch platter and now want to remove it. Guessing it is Al, but not certain. I like(d) it so far, as it is thicker and less prone to flexing than my 6" Nova faceplate. Advantage of the Nova faceplate is the hex faceted portion around the spindle threaded area - which makes gripping with a tool much easier; this Jet version (correction - Easy Wood Tools) has a completely round 'barrel.' Never had this issue with other faceplate, or my Nova chuck. Is it because I betrayed Nova and bought another brand?
Anyways - recommendations for how to break the locked-on faceplate free?
EDIT - accomplished - see details belows
