Hi all. I'll add some text to the page of what I'm learning. This is the progress so far. Hole is much closer to original now. Still, I thought patch was big enough (so weld beads away from bushing) but not so. My new Makita 4.5" 6 Amp angle grinder *just* fits into work area. I'd suggest using a 4" wheel if possible. Still. What a nice tool to have. Can't believe I didn't have one before! http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/radiusarmholerepair Cheers,
