Wheel

admin

A customer was hauling 6tons when his tire blew.. he was almost home so he drove the rest of the way.  This is how his rim turned out.  He had plans to use it as the hub for a 22", so I setup the plasma on a small turn table and burned off the sides.  On the straighter side, I could set the plasma on latch mode and mount the torch so I could turn it in one continuous move without having to hold the handle.

Reply:Ingenious fixture Brainfarth!Brainfarth maybe means a 22.5" Dayton style wheel? There is also an odd-ball  22" wheel too, but that's actually larger ID than the "drop" of a 22.5" and the center he just cut out probably wouldn't fit in a 22".Good Luck
