Good evening, folks.
I'm sure many of you remember the Wood Dynamics throat plates before the company went out of business:

I've been toying with the idea of having a few milled by a machine shop to fit a PM66, as this would feasibly be the first and last throat plate you'd ever need. Bruce Page was kind enough to send me the AutoCAD drawing he created for a similar throat plate for his Unisaw. I used this as a guide and designed one to fit PM66s. The rough rendering is attached below.
Obviously, higher quantity drives the price-per-unit lower, so I'd like to gauge interest from PM66 owners. If I could hit close to the original price point (let's say $125 with a couple of inserts), how many of you would be interested in one? The price for milling only one unit is close to $300, so you can tell why I'd like to make this a group buy
Just reply to this post and I'll tally the replies in a week or so. I'll then update you all with an estimated cost based on the interest.
Take care!
