Big Rose index

I had a chunk of steel that had over 2" hole in it, just about 2" thick. Round over 6". Didn't know what to do with it so I made this rose index. I first made the square than the hex.

I do not think the small ones are that much of use as I already have square and hex blocks for anything up to 1 1/8 of an inch. So I was going for something that would substantially increase the range - her the max is 2.5"

The index square is about max what you can use on a Kurt 6" vise - even if it was touch bigger it would catch the table.

That's exactly my view as I have a 5C spin indexer and why I wanted to see your creation.

Nice!
