ah neat! this would be cool to have for slightly warped 12" blanks.
not sure if it would work on my technics sp10 though?

I dont see a price posted for it maybe my eyesight has finally failed me.

I did a simple 16 inch aluminum chuck.

Only does 14 inch lacquers and 12 inch dubs.
Comes in pretty costly about 800€ before tax. The bottom parts really eats into the budget.
I have a chap who cuts front panels for me but cant cutting anything over 10mm depth which is a shame as would have brought the price down to 600€




The suction power wont be the same for 10/7 inch plates as there some exposed holes around the edge.
Its still mostly a work in progress but gives an idea

Hi Peter, that looks great.
I've got a design in my head that I need to try too...
Cheers.

Todd, hurry up man...

From time to time I have considered picking one up but the add on parts I would need is where the supplier really gets you.
