Bill I had the motor on a stand when I did mine I found that the more top pressure you can apply the better. Honestly I believe it took me a couple days to do the whole process because its pretty taxing.
As for the cutter I only used one cutter but I applied some cutting lube to help the process some. My wire locked right into place with some tamping with a rubber mallet.

Aaron,

Thanks for the information.

Maybe we need to use some cutting oil to do this; the blade wants to chatter, even with a small .010"-cut. We'll try that.

And yes, it's somewhat labor-intensive. Somecody needs to design a cutter that can use a drill motor to do the rotation for the cut. I didn't like the fact that the center bolt-head that expands the four aluminum centering lugs, cannot be tightened up very tight, because the cutter can't turn if the centering mechanism is solid against the cylinder wall. That needs to be re-designed, I think, with a free-floating centering mechanism that could be locked solid against the cylinder wall, to prevent "rocking" as the cut is made.

It might not be easy, but it could be done, and with the electric motor-driven (hand-held drill,) it would take all the work out of it.:toothy7:
