Re:adapter plate ?
you could spend that much on making your own. unless you get the hook-up on materials.

Re:adapter plate ?
if you got the resources make your own, at HMT saving money is what it's all about ;)

Re:adapter plate ?
i built my first two plates and after a million cuts and tons of swearing they were still shitty. heres my first one, only paid 5 bux..

Re:adapter plate ?
It can work out well for you, goto a welding metal supply place and pick up a piece of scrap.
Then you will need a drill press, drill bits, dremel, circle saw kit and some patience. Anything is possible. |

Re:adapter plate ?
Hardest part is going to be making that hole and then port matching it. I use to use a Big drill press that would go down real slow like 115rpm's and a good metal hole saw. Or.. (its sloppy) get a torch and just blow a hole in the fucker, it takes way longer to port it because the edges look like ----. But I agree I'd do it yourself..
