beatiful! do you have a way of presets or do you have to remeasure and align the mill for each part (where you make multiples of each, like the wheels)?

Reg those look great. Are you going to have wedges for them? Ed

cdm, My mill has a DRO on it which helps a lot but I used a rotary table to drill the holes and just eyeballed the rest.

Ed, These suckers are pressed in tight so no wedges. In fact one hub got stuck before it made it to where it needs to be. Now I have to try to press it out and take a little off. The trouble is, it wrecked the bead on the wheel. I guess it's a good thing I made 5 rims...so much for being ahead one when I start the lowbed

Reg now you are getting like me take one step forward and go 2 steps back you think you got it and some little thing screws you up. Ed

Haha that's how I always operate! I just went to my Dads shop and used his 50 ton press. Worked like a charm

. I was able to straighten the bead on the wheel too so I'm happy again. I just had to spend an extra hour on something that should have been finished yesterday.lol
