Pardon me if I structure my response as a "discovery experience."threader wrote:... but I just haven't got any good mandrel ideas.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Observation: True centering on the hub bore is critical. The shaft of the mandrel must be the primary reference surface.
Question 1: What is the relationship between the wheelwell surface and the bore?
Question 2: What do you have to do to prevent deflection of the mandrel?
Question 3: At what radius should the wheel be "gripped" to minimize slippage?
