[PSUBS-MAILIST] Gamma ring machining

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Brian,
No, the machine is connected to the inside lip of the ring.  The machine rotates on a center pivot.  The cutter rotates instead of the part.

 Today my welder came to my shop and welded the reinforcing
 ring into Gamma, 10 passes, looks perfect!
 
 Next step, machine the ring.  I am going to make a
 flange facing machine from a one ton  truck full
 floater differential hub and a part or two borrowed from my
 spare lathe.  The rig will be hydraulic drive. 
 This may or may not work.  :-)  If it works and I
 am confident it will, I can also face CT lands, with the CT
 welded in place.
 Hank
