Re: Construction materials

696 used 1/8" titanium plate which was lasercut. The plates had a 1/2" hole with an 1/8" keyway in them. They were used affix an aluminum sheet metal arm to a keyed shaft so the arm moved when the shaft was rotated. Plates were keyed to the shaft (by the small 1/8" thickness) and bolted to the arm. Also, we used them in a similar method to affix pulleys to the shaft.
