I see doing them with a hacksaw and a file after blued and laid out by
hand. (maybe a power saw) Any better ideas? I can't visualize mounting
it on the BP.

What do you have to work with? I can see a rotary table in vertical
orientation setup at one end of the BP facing outward with the wheel
mounted to it hanging down past the front of the BP table. BP ram moved
out to get the spindle center in line with the wheel. Custom grind
slotting saw on an arbor. Index the rotary table, do the cut with the X,
index, etc. You would of course have to measure everything to see if it
would really fit that way, and presumably make a backer mounting plate
to attach your wheel with 14" hole onto a presumably smaller than 14"
RT.

And of course the wheel would be hung over the front of the table..or
even the back and parallel with the X axis

That means you have to have about 19-20" of space between the top of
the table and the quill. Most BPs will stretch that far. If not..put
in a riser block..or hang the holder over the front of the table and
downwards and then tilt the head , because the disk might hit the Y
axis ways if one tried to do this straight up and down.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
