Three seconds with a screwdriver gouges the material that is there, and does NOT easily remove it, which is precisely why it was a question and concern.

Actually it was a right angle pick, on my back, essentially in the coolant.

Being cautious and asking effectively if what I’m looking at is a machined lip or a chemically adhered washer is better safe than sorry. I don’t have to be a bull in a china shop with this, there’s a reason these forums exist. Tangofox007 answered definitely; peanut gallery comments don’t help anyone.
