I think a hammer will do.

Oh. If that's what you're working with, never mind.

A pneumatic drawbar is worth every penny on a Bridgeport.

Yeah it is amazing what a coat of paint will do to a pile of rusty/shitty scrap metal! :laughing:

Anything on the inside? I thought it may be left as is to keep from contaminating the grain.

One I made today, now my buddy might stop whacking the drawbar with a c-wrench

Nice, how'd you attach the brass/bronze piece to the socket?

 

[FirstRam]

Thanks. I bored out the 1/2" square hole to about 11/16" dia and turned the brass to a press fit. Once assembled, I drilled a 3/8" hole thru both pcs and TIG welded the far side of the handle.

Yeah I just left it bare steel inside. I doubt paint would contaminate the grain much though if it were painted. As long as you let it dry well before filling it up!

So, umm... Have you ever made anything that wasn't awesome?

Did you come up with that design?
Will it work on little wheels as well, like bias ply small trailer wheels? I just did two of them today, used my vise to break the beads.

this style breakers has been around for long time.


pretty much works with any size tire as long as jaws can grab the wheel lip
