Default Re: Dixi Brake Drum Lathe questions

Sorry Don/Wi, almost forgot to get your pictures for you! I also have a stepped shaft, like you, measuring 1" and .684". The 2 cones I use for the rear drums, and the other 2 slotted rounds I use in the front drums with the races installed. Also, in one picture you can see the "belt" which goes on the drum before any machining is done! This cuts down the static vibration produced by the drum turning and gives you a smooth cut. If you don't use it, it will look like squirrels were looking for nuts in the drum! Good luck, Jim
