Although this modification does not effect the performance of the adapter, it was decided to improve the cosmetics of the motor face side by using the mill and running a 4" diameter fly cutter over the full face of the plate. Three separate passes, each time removing 0.001" of metal, yielded a surface that, after a final light Scotch Brite application, demonstrated a very pleasing nearly mirror like finish. Compare to Picture 4790 below (originally posted on 7/28/2012). To compensate for this reduction, the centering ring was also thinned by an equivalent amount. The outer surface of the spacer ring was also turned in the lathe to improve its appearance. A total of about 4 hours was spent to achieve these results.
