    If it was tighten to your backing plate and then tighten further to your rotary, you will have some difficulty screwing the backing plate out from the adaptor. Hence, making it fully round will not be a good idea. Mine was made round but at the base of the adaptor has 2 flat surface. I was lucky that I just show them my 5/8" backing plate and 14mm spindle thread makita and they came out with the nice design themselves.

    I will find out for you. I know the guy was making up 10 of them. They should've been done by now, but it was just a "when I get time" kind of thing for him.

    There we go! That's better since kk is the one talking to the machinist, not me.

    Feel free to ask me, but kk is the first person I will send the question to :D
