    Default Dividing Plate advice needed

    I want to add dividing capabilities to my News 6 inch Rotary table.
    I will have to find dividing plates and adapt them to suit.
    Since the plates meant for 6 inch tables are only 100mm in diameter they wont give me large number hole options.

    I was hoping to find plates with a 150mm diameter and adapt them.
    However I am not finding much information on the internet about available plates.

    If a member has a vertex 8 inch division plate, can you please measure the center hole size for me.

    Thanks Mark

    Thanks Pipeclay that was quick.
    Unfortunatly my handle spindle diameter is 21mm so I'm still looking for a plate with a smaller hole.

    The hole in the plate only locates the plate on the shaft,there is clearance in the bore,the 3 screws on the plate do the locateing.
    Why not if you wish to use 8" plates just put a bush in to suit your shaft diameter.

    I agree with what Pipeclay said, I have both 6 inch and 8 inch here if you need measurements.

    Thanks guys, I can see that a spacer is the answer.
    The Vertex plates meant for the 8 inch table seem the way to go for me.

    A trip to Hare and Forbes is on my immediate agenda.

    Why not build a stepper motor drive so you can set ANY number of divisions/angles/segments or continuous turning at any of 5 speeds?
    I don't regret mine!
