Also, a question for nm9stheham. if you ran the aforementioned set up in a 360, would it be better to drill or to turn down the outside of the counter weight to bring the balance back in?

I would presume that drilling is the only way to do as a normal, service procedure..... you have to not only remove some weight but remove it at a specific angular location. Turning down would not remove it at the typical angular location (at least typical ones I have seen; the effective weight removal by turning would be centered on the counterweight. I don't have or run a balance machine, but all the info I have viewed on how the work and are used is they they instruct the operator to drill so deep at a certain angular location, or if older, remove so many grains or grams or inch-ounces at a certain angular location.

It's certainly conceivable to take part of the weight out by turning the counterweight down, then use the balance machine to determine where and how much the rest would be removed would change. It probably takes some experimenting to get that right; if you turned down too much, then you could get to a point where you could never get it re-balanced with the given bobweight.
