I think I made you a better one.
It's 9.5 outside dia.
with rings out to 8.5"
and down to 2"
All holes are 1/4"
I left the circle rings in the dxf, so if you want to add more holes
or change...

He said the template was 7.4375... your dxf comes out at 3.400.
You can't have a 5-1/2" bolt pattern on a 3.40 disk.

I think I would want the center hole about an 1/8" to maybe 1/4", so I
could use a transfer punch to center it on the part.

What do you think?

Grandpa Bill

Now that looks like a very handy tool.
How big is it? (DIA.)

Here's another option I've found and it works good:

Thanks my friend,
That was the key I needed.... Now a 168ohm shows 2.2volts, so if I
can find a 135 to 150 ohms I should be right on.

Grandpa Bill

I think I've got all the parts needed, but I don't know why..... I've tried
580ohms to 7.8K in series and the dam thing still reads 5.01 volts every
time.

Grandpa Bill

Thanks Greg,
I do understand about the code .... but what tells Mach which code points to
the laser and the other points to the camera?

OH! Side Note: what is the code that turns on the camera...

Hey Greg,
I'm just now getting both a camera and a laser setup on my machine.

The camera is about 1.375" in front of the tool (+Y) and the laser will be
mounted on the side so it'll be about...

Shane,
Here's a video tutorial using Inkscape and Blender.
This might give you some ideas.

Better yet which extensions are which?

What does that covert to in "PSI's"
And was that an eBay find?

Grandpa Bill

After your finished cutting and Before you fold it up...
just get out the air hose and blow it off.

If it was inside --- go with the water tank.
