1/2-ton are originally 12.0" diameter. Legally, they are NOT to be cut (turned) any more than 0.060", which ends-up being a MAX of 12.060". These drums (that haven't been worn-out or turned WAY beyond limits) have become preciously rare. Any that are still legal, turn them as little as reasonably possible. Remember, a couple of deep gouges can remain without any noticeable effect. DD
