anouther thought , what are the chances of building the worn area up with weld and then boring to reduce amount of material needed to be removed . it is cast steel , not iron . Harry , Eugene , what do think ?
I’m not sure David, easy enough to figure out. Grind with an angle grinder slightly. Just enough to see the spark pattern. Iron will be red and steel orange.

In my little experience, building up the area with weld has not worked up so well because of gaps. He who has MIG can most likely do it, bu the who has not, not so easy. Watching with interest.
