118's first weigh-in was at 165+ as well. But that was primarily due to our goal to get up and running as soon as possible. We had not yet lightened our 1/4 thick aluminum top plate (30X33 or so) and our 26' diameter turret. Here's a helpful hint, btw: when lightening, use a mill - you can get more weight faster than a drill press, it looks better, and if you don't punch all the way through, you can keep a large portion of the original strength of the metal. So now we have about seven more pounds to lose. The only loss of functionality might be that our turret is only 25", and we might have to go to an aluminum chassis.
