Re: How-To: Make Your Own Rotary Backing Plate Extension!
Brilliant write up Matt! I kinda want to run out to Lowes and do this. I do not even have a rotary yet lol.

Great idea! An alternative to the roll pin would be red loctite.

Yeah, that's what I would have done, too. Can you even get roll pins out in the world (like at HD or Lowe's)?

they do have threaded studs to so you don't have to cut the bolt. Not sure if they have that thread size though.

Re: How-To: Make Your Own Rotary Backing Plate Extension!
BTW, well done Opie. Question for anyone. I know this is for a rotary, and I know it can be done for a DA material wise, but would this change how the counterweight works and alter the performance of the DA?

Re: How-To: Make Your Own Rotary Backing Plate Extension!
thanks for the compliments guys, i would have used the red loctite just for me i always underestimate my abilities so to combat that i usually over-build stuff LOL. yes they do have threaded studs but i could not find one in the size or thread pitch i needed, i was looking for a locking stud but could not find one of those either. you could make one for a DA using the same method just use a smaller piece of threaded rod and a smaller coupling nut, i think DA uses 5/16"-24 for the threads...might work but if you use your DA without the handle then you could chance a finger going into where the counter weight spins.making an extension for the DA shouldn't effect much if anything. if it did the edge DA adapter would not work.....i cannot wait to get my DA in a few weeks!!!
