Greg, ya a close fit, especially with those allen head screws I used to replace the cheese setscrews that came with the boring head.
I figured those three 3" x ½" slots in the middle would be enough.
The preceding three point splitter had it's "after thought" ½" plate only welded along the length of the sides.
