Slotting and Broaching tool for the Lathe

jjr2001,

I was looking at your slotting tool and I have another question. How does your design prevent rotational movement? Just wondering.

Thanks TM,

I almost went the route of using my chuck back plate for some simple indexing which should work fine.
I changed my mind after realizing that 60 holes would be a very good choice for a single indexing plate. The old CNC
machine would knock that out in short order from an aluminum plate and I could just install it on the back side of the spindle outboard
of the gear train. So that is my next project.

Cheers, JR
