The description matches that of a faceplate, which is commonly used in metalworking to hold and rotate large or irregularly shaped pieces of work. A tool post is a separate component used to hold cutting tools, while a steady rest is used to support long or thin workpieces to prevent deflection during turning. "Workholding device" is too general and could refer to any number of specific tools or components used to hold and secure workpieces during machining operations.
