F350ca...
you are correct, thinning of the base will reduce the bearing area, I will leave it the way it is.
Decimals of a deg. versus DMS, I have always worked with dms and I guess I'm to old to change.
Tom Reed...
The disk is not held in the spin indexer, it's clamped against and angle plate. The spin indexer would not be solid enough to accept the blow from stamping.
Today I decided to plug the holes in the main plate then mill the
"T-sots" , I only have one slot cutter and it's for .250" slots so the first job is to reduce the cutter to .190". My end mill grinding adapter on the surface grinder was very helpful for this.
Milling the slots went well except I lost the markings at 0, 90, 180 and 270.. I guess I can live with that.
Then I reground the sub base, the top plate will be reground later.
