I got inspired to prepare a drive plate for my lathe. First I was just going to make a spindle to hold the plate from the REVO, but then I found an old lawn mower blade of same thickness to make another plate so I don't have to switch the drive plates even. (Note to self--don't do that...again....that stuff is HARD and TOUGH!) I've ruined three drill bits trying to drill through it, and even the carbide mill cutter had a tough time making the slots. Ended up grinding them out. But I only have a hole half way through the middle....so there's that. [image: REVODrivePlate.JPG] That's the original drive plate on the new D spindle.
This is one of those projects to do so that another project can be completed to be able to make progress on the original task, which in this case is to make true octagons for my London pattern handles in Jatoba for the hand screw set I'm almost done with!
