Nah, fun stuff! And yeah the sticker would be something I'd have. Thanks for being up front about using the center hole. Ill need to make a plate larger than my job it seems and figure a way to hold it while milling a 7" circle and the odd shape for brake parts.
 
I had the same issue in the past. I bolted an old, 4-lug disc brake rotor onto my rotary table which expanded the usable area enough to get the job done.

That's so funny. I was in my shop thinking the same thing. I have a few rotors off my wife's car and wondered if there was a way I could use them.
 
Love it! Another way is to mount a large 4 jaw on the RT. This afternoons project... A piece of steam loco suspension that needs the top renewing:

I'll be making the replacement plate up on the RT too, it's horrid doing plates on the lathe and my lathe isn't big enough anyway!
 
@Lo-Fi , that looks like a double riser block job for sure. My little Bridgeport wouldn't have a chance!
