>Have them welded to a flat steel disc. Drtill screw/bolt holes in the disc. Make sure the welder welds the nut in such a way that the whole thing runs true or have a machinist true it. You could also attach a hardwood faceplate to the metal discs and true that. I get my steel "discs" brom a scrap bin at a local fabrication company.

Re: I've made about ten of them.

>At the same time I ordered the nuts from Mc-Master Carr, I also ordered flat washers from them. The ones I used are 4" in diameter and 1/2" thick with a center hole about 1 5/16". I made a welding fixture from hard maple which holds the nut and washer in proper alignment until I can get them tacked together. The small heat generated in the tacking won't harm the maple if I get the steel removed quickly enough. I finish weld the assembly separate from the fixture.

I have found that a couple of the nuts were tapped on an axis which wasn't square to the face of the nut, so I make it a practice to true both faces of the nut on the lathe's spindle before I weld the faceplate. This eliminates almost all of the wobble which will occur if it isn't done. Also, my PM4224 has a short section of the spindle between the shoulder and the set screw groove which is full 1 1/4" diameter and unthreaded. Unless the nut is relieved, the first thread of the nut will bugger this area of the spindle. The solution is to first install a thick washer before screwing on the nut, (rather unelegant), or do as I do and undercut the threads on one side of the nut while it is having the faces trued prior to welding.

Stock #s for washers ?.
