Monty,
I wouldn't take the chance with a
RX8 apex seal going over any sized hole. Their not designed to do that as they
are much smaller in height and IMHO they will flex and spit out of the
hole. Deeper 2mm slots have been tried, with RX7 two piece but even with a
wire cutter there is a small ridge left, which might hang up an apex seal - so
I'm going for a 3mm apex seal.
The slot depth is 9.8mm and is
just as easily cut with a fly cutter as a wire cutter.

George,
So I take it there is enough meat in the Renesis
rotor to make the slot deeper? Somewhere I came across somebody stating that
they were too shallow.
Yes 3mm seals are something I have considered
also.
Of course I hesitate to cut into a perfectly good
$500 part, but now I have a junk rotor to make sure. I also have 6 tries to get
the setup right before the good part goes in the mill. ;-)
