Abstract
There is provided a locator device and an associated fixture and method for supporting a rotatable member. The locator device has a base and a plurality of flanges extending from the base in an axial direction and arranged circumferentially to define an aperture for at least partially receiving the rotatable member axially. The flanges defining slots for receiving radial portions of the rotatable member with the radial portions extending radially outward from the flanges. Thus, the locator device can support boreless rotatable members so that a tool can be supported against the radial portions of the rotatable member to thereby form the rotatable member to predetermined dimensions.
