Thanks, Mart. I have an idea for harvesting even more goodness from the fixture -- a set of adapters that will allow me to position a crankshaft in the fixture to carve away about a dozen pounds and streamline and polish it to reduce windage. I love the result of the work . . .
. . . but after doing one in this primitive fashion . . .
. . . I made a simple fixture from rectangular tubing that was a bit better, but it still danced around on the bench. The porting fixture could turn the arduous crank-carving chore into a relatively pleasant task. The changes available in the X axis would be even more beneficial than they are for porting a block.
