This is about 65mm dia and 5mm thick about the size you're doing, This sounds like a commercial production run. For the thinner sizes you can fasten them to a wooden backing board using two way tape, plenty good enough for drilling. I'll send you the bill for my consultancy fee. :) Stew |

If cost is more of an "item" than anything else, a pair of plates with a central pivot pin (shoulder screws work well) and appropriate alignment pin (dowel pins are what I use) clocked to your position makes a quick & dirty alternative that can be quite accurate. If you have access to a lathe of appropriate size, you could turn your pivot plate with a shoulder to mount your rings. If you have a DRO or Trav-A-Dial, it's even easier. One of the "accessories" I make for my rotary table is keys that fit the t-slots on it. If all I am doing is drilling/reaming (etc.) holes, I can mount keys is with (small) dowel pins and a screw to make a "T" on the plate, mount that on my rotary table, and spin as required. The keys are just steel bar dressed to width with screw & dowel pin holes set at some convenient (and hard to forget) spacing. For my (8" and 10") rotary tables, I use .400 centers for (2) ø.188 dowel pins and (1) hole for a #10-24 SHCS. I can then cut them off (1.100 long) and have them "to hand" whenever I need them. |
