You got it dg people don't realize how long wood takes to dry, for every inch of thickness it takes 1 year to dry and over 4" it does not dry in the center of the wood, as far as making a 12" round of wood thinner is to put it through planner [safest] or if you have a lathe you can take down on that

Same set up as the Excalibur you should go back to supplier and get it seen to, the mechanism has to be in balance and is a job for the experts

I don't need a magnifying light as I have several pairs of glasses of different strengths, however I have a light with a 100watt bulb I can move around to where I need it and I also like to sit on a high seat with my feet just touching the ground this is for my own personal comfort
