Hi,

Question for you peeps, was wondering if anyone can come up with a
better way.

I have 10 steel discs, about 20mm diameter, 4mm thick, that I need to
hold & put a groove in one face of.

I was thinking of making up a collet out of ali, just boring a deep
enough hole, slitting with a hacksaw and just clamping with a
hose-clamp.

Is there a easier way to do this?

Ed

Is your three-jaw accurate enough? You could maybe make something smaller in
diameter so it was loose in the jaws and thick enough so that the disks were
parallel to the face/at right angles to the center of rotation, but so that
there was still room to plunge the groove and the jaws didn't get in the
way.
