Caliper bracket CAD to steel (~10g)
...which is kinda in between 1/8" & 3/16"
Making (2) at once (1 for each side) so they match
Need to cut a 1/2 circle, out of the end, of each piece
...so, I clamped 'em together
...& installed a "notch" right in the middle
Then, layed them end to end
...& clamped 'em down to a 1/4" steel, backer plate
...& then, used the (2) "notches" to drill a 1/8" pilot hole (in between the (2) caliper brackets & thru the backer plate too)
Next, I drilled the 1/8" pilot hole out to 1/4" (when ya hit wood, ya know your done/thru)
...& then, used a 1 3/4" hole saw to, cut the hole
...& a 5/8" drill bit to install the spindle hole
Here is the back side
