[TowerTalk] TicRing vs. Side Mount

[JayTerleski]

No Problem at all Rick and thanks.

These things are made to turn big stuff.

We just sold one to a guy going to turn two C49s, Now thats a big beam!

The bearing on top makes it smooth as silk.

Tnx for all the visits guys, and were looking forward to Visalia and
then Dayton to see you all in person.
