Thanks Bob, but as Buck said, I need the kind with the notches on the outside. I will make one if one doesn’t turn up. The one I have has 30 notches on the outside.
Making a new one is an interesting problem. The notches on the one I have are not straight cut, they spiral in. I am sure there are lots of ways to do that, but the way that occurs to me is to put the plate on a rotary table with the plane of the table parallel to the mill spindle axis, cut the notch edge on, and rotate the table to do the next notch. Each notch is about .060 deep.
I might as well make a couple index plates once I get setup. I checked my cutting tools to see how many flutes they have. My end mills are all 2,3,4 or 6 flutes. My reamers are 4,6,8,10 & 12 flutes. Dovetail cutters, t-slot cutters and key seat cutters have 10,12,14 & 16 flutes. Trepanning tools are the odd ones, several have 5 flutes. Saw blades too many teeth to count. Didn’t check the horizontal milling cutters, but those don’t get used much. So the 30 tooth index plate covers everything except 4,8,12,14 & 16.
So, it looks like if I made a 12,14 & 16 I would be good to go.
