Wow Stew, that is sharp :bugeye: I've got a small 4 by 4 inch plate I made when I was using my drill press for a mill, but your's is serious, and exactly what I need to do. I've got around the need several times in the past weeks, but this posting is sufficient to get me with a piece of plate on my mill and get it fixed up like I need it. That set of threaded holes for sides is a great idea too, my last job was squared up by eye, it was only for looks, but it could have been done easily from your idea much better. Thanks for the idea :headbang: mad jack |

For the US folks, where would you get a piece of CI to make something like this from? I'm talking for a 7x SEIG, and 5x7x3/4" or so. Chuck in E. TN |

I've just solved my problem, second item down, T-slotted 5"x4" plate. http://rdgtools.co.uk/acatalog/NEW_LINES_TO_RDGTOOLS.html It will bolt straight onto the flat area of my saddle. For this price, it isn't worth me getting off my a**e and making one. Bogs |

FFS Why the hell didn`t I see that ... I spent £18 on aluminium plate there last week before building this... I could have had one! Still... I enjoyed making mine :bang: :bang: |

I bought this for £10 from a second-hand stall at the Harrogate show last May. It looks unused, and was labelled as a milling table for a Unimat. 80x125x12mm, and my cross-slide is 80mm wide, so it will bolt on nicely once I have a job which requires it. Andy |
