Yes Max,
I haven't tried to get the boss off but I think it would break free from the lead as the lead only comes up 5mm on the boss. I might make the next one with an 18mm ring and see how that goes. Less lead and the lead will be below the boss so that should help with removal. Wall thickness on the ring is probably 10mm and it weighed 396 grams to start with. Yes it should help with cutting because it has more spinning mass No way can I make any money out of these because of the hours spent. I have a couple coming that I have stripped and painted so there is probably another day spent on them
