First we put the flange on the machine and made holes in it so we can use them later as a center for alignment for milling the arcs of the part.
And start with roughing .

Attn Andre :
Sorry to reply to such an old thread, but on page 10 and 11 of this thread you show manufacturer of the none standard motor base. I am in the situation where I have to replace the motor on my Beaver VBRP MkII and that flange is a big problem. I'm considering making a flange and mounting a standard, more modern, motor on it. My question - is there any chance you still have a drawing of the motor adaptor flange you made please. It would be most appreciated, thanks.
I guess there's a possibility that the flange does have a standard name, but I haven't seen one at all. Motor plate says :

440 volts, 3.3 amps

After making sure the workpiece is in the center of the machine I started with
roughing the outer arc.

After that we are roughing the cylindrical section and then turn over the workpiece and cut away the biggest arc.
But first we made the small arc .

After finishing the outer arc the arc shaped slots ware made.

In a later stage the piece is taken in the chuck of my lathe.
The first operations are facing of and drilling .

With a other tool we made the chamber for the motor.

After turning over the workpiece the other side is machined .

Now the workpiece is going back to the milling machine and it is centered and holes ware made in to it so the motor can be attached .

In to the side of the flange a tapped hole is made to attach a handle for tightening the belt of the motor.
