Dovetail Plate for Meade 12"

I was pleasantly surprised by how well this plate matched the existing hole pattern on my Meade 12—no drilling or modifications needed. The 0.7-inch thickness feels sturdy enough for a solid mount. It’s a straightforward upgrade that just works.

The machining is precise—the plate bolted right up to the existing holes on my 12-inch tube without any filing. At 3.5 pounds it feels reassuringly heavy, and the 18.925-inch length gives plenty of adjustment room for balancing.

I was pleasantly surprised by how solid this plate feels—the 3.5 lbs of aluminum makes it feel robust, and it bolted right up to my existing holes without any drilling or modifications.
