I had a bunch of drive dogs that I used on my old Atlas lathe and I kept them when I sold it.
The problem was, the legs are too short for my face place and I didn't want to buy a drive plate if I didn't have to.
So my solution was to just mill a slot in my face plate.
I didn't realize that the pins in a D1 back were screwed in. At least they are this face plate.
You can imagine the time I had pulling them straight out, huh? :angry:
Anyway, all is well and the slot works perfectly. I still have the standard slots to add weight for balance if I ever need it.
