motor mount.

[kingcreaky]

Again, I am very new to this, so my reason for posting is as much to give you something to read, but also to run my method by you all incase im doing anything vastly wrong.

You may remember, my lathe is working, but I am trying to get the mill working. The motor on it, wont work under 240 three/phase via vfd so Ive sourced another 3 phase motor that can be run from a vfd



but the old motors mount wont fit it,



so Im making another one. the idea is, a ring...





I cant think of a way of cutting the inner circle out...  If the mill was working, I could use a rotary table? but the mill isnt working so... and my parting blade is to thick to cut a circle (if you follow)... so?



thoughts?
