Default Flycutting in car in Fbody?

Just wanted to know if it is possible and not terribly painless. I have recieved some responses in both directions, but want to see if it is possible and just how hard it is. Search function came up with some usefull info, but want to see what the direct answer is.

I watched JPR do it and it looked more time consuming than anything, He also made sure to measure each cut to make sure that each relief is the same depth. He also did it in the car so it is possible.

It is not too terribly painful. We have the cutters in stock if you are looking to buy them.

Very simple to do.Buy a cutter 2 sizes bigger than your valves.(I had 2.02 so bought a 2.06)

Remove Valves.install cutter.pack cutter with greese to catch material.install head on car with old head gasket.use 2 bolts to hold down head.rotate motor till piston hit's cutter.then turn cutter.
There is a way to setup the cutter to go down a certain depth by a collar.

How much? What is included as far as cutting tool sizes, and depth gauges???? Just a little info on what the tool is all about since we have no way to see it. Thanks, J
