Just have to find a block of wood thick enough to be the same width as a rotor/housing, and I'm guessing it wouldn't be difficult. Now getting him to let me do this (it's not his machine) is another story.

I've used microstation before too for civil design. The core of eng. guys used it and it was always a pain in the *** to swap info when I did projects for them.
