The rotary table is the trick for cutting radius. I would usually just clamp the piece to the rotary table with the center of the diameter I want to cut (ie the center of the bolt hole) at the center of the table. For the large inside radius I cut that with the boring head and only cut an arc of the circle. I can change the radius by changing the diameter of the boring head.

On this piece I cheated for the small radius around the bolt holes and did them on the belt linisher.

Cheers
