Actually, the depth is the radius in this case.

Remember though, the slots are perfectly rounded at each end so you'll need to multiply by pi in order to arrive at cu. in.

This is gettin' to be fun!

Not so grasshopper!

In your previous example you say half the width would equal the radius which would be correct if the depth also equaled at least half the width. But you are correct in that the radius at the ends must be taken into consideration.

Rich, we haven't seen a hammerless 16 with lightening cuts. Can we see a picture?
