I just finished a L1 backplate for one of my chucks, and need to cut a 5/8 width keyway in it. I have a couple bridgeports, a lathe, and a 150 ton press with a very short stroke, and no key cutters. So how do I accomplish this? I have put a HSS blank in the lathe toolpost and slammed in through a couple of holes before, with limited success, but I don't think I could do that on this one.
