Yes Steve it opens up the possibably of parts ing isn't it

I know what JBweld is but what is liquid metal?

Got a call from my Dad last night, He did get a couple more rims done. The problem he had while skip cutting the od, caused the spindle drive pinion to fail, about 3 teeth are missing.

I bought this lathe 12 years ago, an Atlas Craftsman 101-21200. Finding parts for the is tough.

Since the pinion is cast onto the spindle pully, I am going to try to repair the damaged teeth. Still trying to locate the part.

So the rims are on hold for now.
