Plan B has been implemented. Didn't have any other 3/4 plate so we've changed to 1 inch hot roll, same piece the splitter wedge was made from. Will take a little more whittling to use up the extra 1/4. Will need to make a stepped bore now. Hopefully I can swing it in the lathe, a 5 inch bore is pushing the limits of my boring head.
Has to be something like that Dave. I did cut it out with the plasma but even the centre where it didn't get hot is tough and seams to work harden.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
