Making an adaptor plate for my rotatory table.

[CMS]

Not much to brag about but thought that I would share. Decided to make an adaptor plate for the R.T. so to mount a 5c collet chuck. Took some 16mm plate I had stashed, did some cutting and some drilling and when the chuck comes in one day this week, hope the bolt hole measurments are correct.

That's a nice little hunk of plate you have cut out, there. It looks like you had to go 'round and 'round a few times!

Keep us posted.

Nice. I'm sure that will come in very handy.

Chuck arrived today, was thinking it would be shiny like in the picture that was on cdco machinery's web sight, but a blued finish is ok too. I do have a grip though, some of my old collets like the new chuck and some don't. Guess I'll have to work on that too. Anyhow, I'm at .0005 on the runout using a piece of .750" shaft, think that should be close enough. Next will be a 3 and 4 jaw chuck with the 5C shank.

If you're measuring .0005 way up there I would say that's about as close as you'll ever get it.
