Resizing Patterns

You can moderately resize the patterns. The overlay patterns are 2" in diameter. As an example, if you wanted the pattern to be 2-1/8" in diameter, figure the percentage: 2.125/2=1.06=106%. Open the pdf. Click print. In the printer dialog box click on the Custom Scale radio button. Then change the number in the text box to 106.

Finial and Overlay Collets

Basic instructions for making Auxiliary Collets are at: http://davidreedsmith.com/Articles/ColletAdaptor/ColletAdaptor.htm

In addition to the basic instructions, it's important that at least some of the blank being held is deep enough to be inside the plane of the metal jaw faces. For the Finial collet it is sufficient to make the flange less that 1/8" thick. For the Overlay Blank collet you'll need to hollow the face of the collet.
