Just to follow up on my comment below ¨C here is an extract from my Maximat manual which shows the faceplate , together with a shouldered pin which can be mounted in one of the faceplate slots to use the faceplate ?as a drive plate ,
Hi Jody . . . wasn¡¯t trying to correct anything and your description was spot on in terms of what you were wanting to do . . .?
A faceplate can be used as a drive plate either with a straight dog which engages a pin which has been bolted into one of the faceplate slots , or by using an angled dog which fits into one of the slots . . .
If using a straight dog and a pin make sure to wire the dog to the pin . . .
Carvel, You are right to correct me.? The correct term would be driveplate for what I'm talking about.? So I'm looking for a driveplate and I can't imagine I would need one bigger than 6".? The reason I asked about dogs is that I've come across dogs that have a straight leg and it rides against a straight drive pin that is threaded into a driveplate.? There are some on Little Machine Shop.?? I don't really see if there is anymore versatility in that setup or not.? Just curious what guys were using and if a 6" driveplate is sufficient. Thanks for correcting my terminology Carvel. -Jody
