Keats Angle Plate

Stan,
I have never had any trouble getting deliveries from RDG, always very fast, but I am really surprised how fast they got that one to you, it must have caught all the connections just right.
I think you will really find the benefit of the Keats when you come to do more than one item the same.
When making my small production engines, 12 cylinders at a time, which were square with an offset hole, I could just prepare all the cylinder blanks, set up the offset, and then drill them all, then bore, then ream, just three tooling changes, rather than having to do each one individually as you would in a four jaw, drill-bore-ream, changing the tooling a dozen times, so 36 tool changes in all.
You couldn't do that with round material with an offset hole, but at least you wouldn't be needing to set the four jaw up at each component change.
A real time saver.

Even down here in the wilds of Oz, they get stuff through pretty quick.
