What is it please

[Oldman]

Its been a very long time since I posted here

I have some discs that were given to me with various size holes in, some round some oval with indexing position holes all round them and I am ashamed to say I dont know what they are for, I feel I should know but cant quite remember. Happens when you get old.

Anyway here is a picture, hope some of you know the answer.

How big?

Looks like a scroll saw table insert.

Bobbin sander table insert, small holes for dust extraction.

The circular hole is for the bobbin sander at 90 degrees, the oval hole is for when the table is tilted.

Many thanks guys for solving this, looks like they are for this one https://www.turners-retreat.co.uk/machi ... bin-sander

They are 5.5 inches in dia and I was given 5 of them, I am guessing a full set was 6.

Of no use to me so if anyone is in need of spares they can be yours for the cost of postage.

Yes please, I've got a Charnwood bobbin sander that these will fit, missing a few of these inserts. If you pm me your details I'll sort out postage payment when you know how much.

Cheers
