Mini Pallet for Sherline 2000 Mill and others

[jjr2001]

Great answers from both Marv and Toolman51. My spacing was to allow most of my Sherline accessories and other small fixtures to be mounted to the plate.
Material was not surfaced by me prior to use. It was precision plate from my special material shop Southwest Steel. All threaded holes are 10-32 for my small clamps and also Sherline uses 10-32 extensively. The larger holes are 1/4" for the use of dowel pins if desired for one or two sides of a part. The 10-32 holes all have 10-32 nylon set screws in them when not in use to prevent them from being "chip catchers".

Cheers, JR

I decided to use hardened steel bushes in Aluminiun toolplate with steel threaded inserts at the bottom of the hole. The idea is to use the holes for either locating or clamping. When used with a smaller bush, clamping and locating is possible using the same hole.
