Setting Up My PM935 Mill

[EdK]

So here's my latest idea. Two 3/4" thick aluminum plates bolted in place of the turret with a lifting ring bolted to the two plates with a 5/8" bolt. The turret bolts are a strange thread at 1/2-10 so I need to use them to bolt the plates down to the turret spot using the spider which is tapped to receive the strange sized bolts. Thus the need for the 2 1/2" spacers under the bolt heads. I guess I'm wondering if 1 1/2" thick aluminum can support 700 - 800lbs of cast iron? I'm guessing it can but I'd rather ask before I hurt the mill or myself (in order of importance).
