Two had a slot cut to fit the shaft of the spindle. I also put notches in the inner curve where the casting lines on the spindle would meet the slot. The third piece acts as a guillotine between the other two. It is slotted as well and I also drilled two holes through this third piece. I used all thread through these holes to a backing plate on the Z carraige. On the outboard side, I used washers and wingnuts to secure it. THis allows me to quickly take the unit off the machine with little fuss. I will take a picture this evening and email it to you. I doubt my powers of description will prove equal to a simple photo. I would avoid using the plastic motor case as a fixture point as the screws holding the motor to the spindle nose are less than substantial. I originally got the idea of using this grinder from this post almost 2 years ago. http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42227 Just eliminating the cooling air wash across the workpiece is worth the effort over a router. A small shop vac with this grinder will provide more than adequate dust collection for wood/MDF cutting.
