[TowerTalk] 2 inch Chrome Moly mast needed

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

I have both a Plasma torch and a Bridgeport mill.
The plasma torch is hand held and cuts great, but hand held (even using 
a guide) is no where near as nice as the Bridegport.
A rough set up is all that is required on the Bridgeport.  No need to 
use a dial indicator to get it to the nearest thousandth.  Just square 
up the head with the surface to be cut.  Just use an adjustable cutter, 
or a fly cutter.  I don't like fly cutters.  They work well, but I don't 
like that cutter flying around.
The accessory plates would require no changes from the vertical set-up.  
In addition there are no poisonous fumes from the high temp.
