With each index plate comes the ability to evenly space all integer divisors (no remainder) of the number of positions.
So, a 36-hole plate allows divisions 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36. A 40-hole plate allows 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40. Some of the divisions are available on multiple plates - in the case of this pair, 1, 2 and 4. Many are unique to one plate. Say you wanted to mill slots around the bottom of a coat-rack post to hold 5 legs evenly spaced. You could do that with the 40-hole plate, but not he 36-hole one. If you wanted to do a flat twisted column, neither of these plates will suffice - you'd need a plate with the number of holes being a multiple of 7: 7, 14, 21, 35, 49, etc. - John On Wed, Apr 8, 2015 at 9:40 PM Dewell Crews <funk49...@gmail.com> wrote: > Can someone please tell me what I could possible make that would require > the use of a 36 and/or 40 position index plate(s)? > BTW:My previous two posts indicate "me" as the author of those posts.
