Next, cut the center to fit the quicktime insert, this went great but I noticed the cutter hitting the 12 o'clock area first and taking a bit to cut the entire 360 degrees.
After cutting the center, I checked the gearbox side surface and sure enough it was low at the 6 o'clock.

The fix, lock it down in the bridgeport and cut the gearbox side surface. Took a .040 cut to get it to where I am happy with it.
You can see by the blue paint it is still a little low at the 6 o'clock, but good enough.

This problem was not disclosed too me when I purchased the thing, but am very happy to be able to fix and save it.

This was a fun sunday afternoon project.
