We used a whizzer wheel but forgot to stop at the barrel... But it weighs a lot less now and works really well 36P

Cutting the barrel will reduce the stern lift. I have run in my Allison, STV, and I will try it my LCB when its done shortly. I had that work done by Mike at Frank and Jimmys.

Does my dad Fuller have a rotary table for his mill .. Or did I take his when I ran away from home …

Anyway , use the center bolt hold down . drop a side slot mill cutter in the middle , move the knee table over till ya hear noise , rotate the roto~tab , move the knee over , rotate the table .. It will fall off when it's ready … and yes your welcome to come over and use mine … err dads .. err you know ..

Or do like I do when I bit off more than my lathe can chew , take it over to the cylinder head shop , their lathe has a "gap bed" feature .. prob spin 20" .. or across the parking lot .. Ole ~ toolpath .. will put the Palm City Hedgeclipper on it ..

I have never run one stock they are so heavy and have so much blade surface, I would be worried about my case. I run everything high and its an abusive situation on parts. I can tell you that I got it down to 8% slip on my STV and thats about as good as anything has been.
