@270wsm Congratulations on everything to both of you. You both have great helpers to get the job done. Yes, that Spanish Red Wine helps just about everything.
Took a while but the machenist was able to grind the stainless steel collar down. Just put it together and it looks like a good fit. Now waiting for weston to get a replacement spline so I can have the cuber and jerky slicer ready to use without changing splines.
Pictures to follow once it’s all together.
