I had to build my own swaging jig and the 40 ton press after the local brake company tried to swage some drums for me and cracked two of my hubs. Took my broken hubs (not new ones) and went home. A welding/fabricatin shop and a couple of us Model A'ers built the apparatus. I bought the Arcing machine. I don't doenough any more to justify keeping the arcing machine.

BTW I use Randy Gross drums.
