Try Barry Haythornwaite. He makes steel ones that won't crack like the
cast iron ones may, and his prices are right.

I don't understand why anyone would need a 6" faceplate unless you're
turning something about 18" diameter or larger.
Try this link - I bought a 2" faceplate from him for my Delta Homecraft
lathe, and it's fine for anything I can turn inboard.

As common as dirt.
But first, a word of warning, you may not like the prices
you find at the woodturning boutique catalogs. To that end,
I have a spare 5 1/4" Gen-U-Whine Sears face plate that I
could part with. Ping me on the back channel.
Otherwise you have,
Sears.

Look for a Links page on the last site.
Oh, and look for 3/4-16.

No personal experience here, but I knew someone with the Grizzly faceplate
"kits"
and he said it did not run true.
Get one a sears or from Unisaw A100

At the risk of losing a potential sale of my 5 1/4" to the
original poster I'd have to agree with you Jon. When I
started with my Craftsman lathe (50's vintage cast iron bed
with 9" swing) I uses a 3" screw center face plate and
eventually had another 3" screw center turned down to 1 1/4"
which I used for a good 90% of what I turned. Now granted I
turned smaller lidded bowls (bowels in rec.speak) but I
think I can count on two hands the number of times I used a
4" face plate.

Six-inch? Dunno. Don't think Sears ever sold one. But you could buy
three- and eight-inch faceplates at Sears as recently as a couple years ago.
Try crossposting to rec.crafts.woodturning also.

Oneway can custom make faceplates to fit pretty much ANYTHING.

Grizzly has faceplate "kits" - you buy the threaded insert separately,
although it's 8". http://www.grizzly.com/catalog/2004/092.cfm
If those fail, try rec.crafts.woodturning.
