As always, I appreciate the advice of everyone on this board. There were conflicting opinions as to the value of increasing the trunnion hole size, so I think I will do that as a last resort. In the meantime, I will keep monkeying with the table, and maybe I can get it right. I may just need more pr...

Take care,

Mike
