Paul, I noticed on the drawings -vs- the picture of the castings the castings
of the bell mouth do not protrude or did the protruding portion get machined
off for expediancy of surfacing the flange?
...Chrissi

We redesigned it so the bell mouth is more or less
tangential to the surface to make it easier to machine.
Other wise it would be nearly impossible to machine given the
inability to securely hold such a complex shape.
Read NC mill.
