ticked off brake drum turning

[Kurt in NJ]

My old John Beam (Barrett) has an adapter that fits the hub with the wheel bearing and seal still in place, it fits tight enough that with good hub and bearing it has to be screwed in place ---and a small taper adapter for the outside.

I had wondered about the accuracy of using the wheel bearing as part of the setup so I checked, and resetup with different clocking of the adapters --then on an axle in the lathe and could repeat within .0005 so it is a valid mounting method.
