modifying my R8 collet rack

I made this collet rack many years ago but not thinking I would one day need to increase its capacity I had made the holes on a particularly wide spaced pattern, but not a pattern well suited for maintaining Cemetry when the need would one day arise to add more positions.
This afternoon I decided to make the best of what I had available short of completely making a new rack. I still have the tramming riser blocks bolted in place, which worked out great for adding additional holes

No need to move the table just slide the plate and re clamp using a tri square for proximity positioning

Symmetry

Cemetry is only missing one e from a place that might have symmetry but won't work as a place for collet holders... just saying...

My 9th grade English teacher never could get it through my head that there are many words in the English language all sound the same all have different meanings. my dyslexia will prevail at times, some even spelled the same as others with completely different meanings.
I said yeppers I'm sure there are, one of my Grandmothers thinks I should learn Cherokee the other one wants me to learn Comanche one has 7000 words while the other only 500 and you think I should concern myself with nearly a million in English. Reed can be a valve or a plant but you want me to read a book called up the down staircase. What would you like to know about it? I asked. The bad kids the struggles their English teacher went through trying to pound some sense in their heads or should I view it as a parity to myself? She gave up on me as most have around here has as well LOL.

Good enough for doing it's job. Nice to see a successful salvage of a job. How many collets do you have? I'm guessing 5C?
