On numerous occasions I have modified the arc of a finder bracket by working the base on an appropriate diameter tube that had appropriate grit "stick on sandpaper". This has been a very labor intensive process by hand. Of course dependent upon how much modification was needed. Usually this has taken hours.
I have a TeleVue clamshell, the one sold for the TV 85, TV 76, and the Pronto, that I would like to modify for use with a Unitron 3". This would entail taking about 1/8" of aluminum off of the radius. Can anyone propose how this could be done other than by slowly opening up the diameter by working the two halves on an appropriate sized pipe with sandpaper? I don't have a lathe, but is there a way to set up a lathe to do this work?
