Beatty Hub
Posted: Thu Feb 01, 2024 6:21 pm
I took advantage of the near spring like weather. It was +14C today. Decided to work on my Beatty hub that had 4 spoke holes
with just the pipe threads left at the bottom. By drilling through with a 15/16" bit was able get close enough to the old threads
without ruining them. I used a sharp squared punch to remove the last of the pipe. Chased the threads and every thing is ready
for when I make the 5 spokes that were missing. This is the mill I bought thru an online auction last fall. Kind of sight unseen.
I notice a double 44 stamped on the end of the shaft. Is the the year the mill was manufactured?
