Has anyone had the same problem with me in trying to source an anode that is already milled out to take the rope cutter. Every time I've changed the anode I've had to get an engineering shop (mate owns one) to mill it down to accept the rope cutter.

Always done it myself with a dremel and cutter disc to take the top 1/2 inch or so off then a 13mm drill for the cutter to go into.  Takes about 1/2 an hour and a bit of cursing to get it done.

Looks like my mate will be doing a few more unless i bring them offshore to get the mechanic to do them. I'll buy 3 of them next time and get them all done at the same time as he sets up the machine to do the milling.

At £40+ I think I'll stick to a bit of cursing and the dremel :D
