That's great!
Pretty much all you need.
Yeah, but I got a real plus out of this exercise I didn't expect.
Apparently, because of the belt wear and eccentricity of the pulleys in
the head, the spindle (not worn) was emulating an interrupted cut most of
the time. Surface finish was always pretty bad, and I'd trammed the head
as well as it could be.
Now the spindle runs smooth as silk, and the surface finish - with the
same facing cutter - is smooth as silk, too! Nice benefit for a couple
of days of grungy work.
