Well here are the sector arms being made. I started with some 1/8" x 1 1/2" flat bar and drilled 2 1/2" holes on one end. Then i took a 1" round bar and drilled a 1/2" hole thru it and sandwiched it all together with a bolt. Then scribed some lines, trimmed in the bandsaw and then shaped in the shaper. I could have just as easy cut them with a recip saw and ground them in a vise but i like my shaper. Tomorrow i will grind off and round the one end down to the round bar. Then one arm needs an offset so they both lay flat...Bob

Couple more pics of the sector arm jig and how i ground the arms and then the arms. I need to bend a 45* in one so they both lay flat then cut off to suit...Bob
