    Thanks PJ's for your compliments
    I preloaded the jaws with 3 pieces of 1/2" plywood, I cut them about a 10° angle on each side and placed them against the chuck face, I then just screwed the jaws down until they tightened themselves against the wood pretty snug and ground away, I fed the grinder in and out until there were no sparks ( by power feed of course ).

    The .625 Radius was cut with a boring head. I took a scrap piece of aluminum plate and bored a 1.750" hole, There is your radius, I then put the base in the mill vise on it's edge and moved in about .050" at the time and machined it like you were boring a hole. You can figure the rest I'm sure.
    The motor is a Dayton, Model # 2M145, I got it new off e- bay I paid $145.00 for it.

    Thanks Again Guy
