After it cooled off, I put it in the band saw to slice off the extra bit of thickness.
Then I chucked it up in the lathe to face off the mating side. And turn the large OD to the size of the Rotary broach body. I also re-center drilled it for the next operation.
Turning the back side down. There was surprisingly, very little warpage from the welding operation. There might have been .002 at max warpage on the back side. I actually took off about .035 on the back. I also cleaned up the weld and cut that on a 45* angle to the shaft and plate.
Here's the part. The only thing left is to cut the length of the shaft to about 2" in length. and mill the slots for the tail adjustment.
