Thanks for the praise gents, not really needed, but it is appreciated. Rather than start another topic, I thought I would stick this little bit onto the end of this post, seeing it is all part of the RT work. I made this faceplate a while ago, out of a cheapo Myford lathe backplate, and up until now it hasn't been used because I was looking for the right small clamping system to use. Recently, I found out that RDG sold cheap swan neck clamps in just the right size I needed. Unfortunately, they are made to use 6mm or 1/4" clamp bolts, not the 4mm I had drilled and tapped my faceplate with. So I turned up some stainless top hat adapters. The faceplate is now ready for use. Another interchangeable tooling job out of the way, just one to go. Bogs |

Nice job John, I use my face plate more than I thought I would. |

Bob, After seeing your faceplate on the RT, I will have to see if I can squeeze the Keats angle plate onto this one. That will then give me easy square or oblong bar mounting. Doesn't anything ever come to an end? Bogs |

I usually don't post because I don't have anything usefull to add, but... I don't think I am the only one that simply reads your small (and large) project posts with great interest, without posting. Just keep in mind that the stuff you share is prized by many of use, so don't hesitate to post any project large or small. Russ |
