Description: Doughnut shaped flat hub for audio tape reel. Operation: Disc cut on lathe for accurate center hole size, then outside of disc cut for high concentricity (+/- 1mil if possible). Marks made on lathe to indicate hole and notch positions with respect to center hole. Disc cut for proper thickness. On vertical mill with rotary table, three holes made 0.4" from center hole on line drawn previously, every 120 degrees with #7 bit. Mounting notches milled into edge of center hole with 0.2" end mill, 60 degrees from holes. Holes countersunk as indicated. Notch cut 1/2" deep into outer rim (width noncritical). Material: 2011 aluminum recommended, but other materials can be substituted including high density styrene or 1100 aluminum at the discretion of the machinist. Observation: Part is effectively identical to plastic sample except for outer diameter and notch. Large holes and honeycombing in plastic sample are due to plastic fabrication demands and do not need to be replicated. S. Dorsey, 2/2018.
