True Andy, but I'd need a truly aligned hole in the table to support the workpiece, which is a stainless steel rod, already bored thru lengthwise and cut rifled, with the ability to locate that bore to microinch accuracy. Oh, and I forgot, the hole in the table would need to be a bit over 30" deep. IOW, this is a lathe job.
