Mystery accessory

Post by Biscuithollow »

I purchased a used Mark V with many accessories and attachments. But I don't know what one thing is. It's a round heavy disk, 9 7/8" in diameter and 1" thick. Any suggestions?

A pix would help. Nothing comes to my mind that matches.

Sounds to me like the base to the Universal Tool Rest.

Here's a pic. I tried to upload originally but finally figured out there are pretty small size restrictions.
