Rotary table Chuck mounting plate

[melsdad]

You may have already noticed, but I decided to mill slots to the mounting holes to make it easier to mount on the table.



Here is a better picture to explain the two depths I mentioned earlier.



Another thing I did was modify the chuck wrench I made. I just wasn't happy with it... to chunky feeling. Now I'm happy.

Projects like this are what attracts members. Keep them coming. I didn't notice it before, now I see why two bolt holes are offset and two are in the middle.

Being more of a hobby guy, I must admit I thoroughly enjoyed this thread. Great job - I hope you post more as you go along.

beautiful work and I love all the set up shots, that stuff helps a lot! One newbie Q - why did you make the adapter plate so thick? Doesn't that reduce the working height above the chuck?

Thanks for the comments guys!

Yes mattthemuppet it is a little tall and I still may machine it down some. Especially since my rotary table is so big. It stands 5.300" off the mill table. I can probably remove .500 with no problem. All that I did was just clean up the piece of material that I got from the scrap bin.
