Hi DJ,

I'm starting to think that the original fitment was a firm slide on and not an actual interference press fit.

You'll probably find that most machinists would want the reel to sit very firmly on the inner race so as to get a very accurate result from their centrifugal grinders.

Once you have the slightest bit of movement, this will only accelerate the wear factor. I personally prefer a very firm contact with the inner race as this then allows a very fine and precise adjustment of the reel to the bed knife.

Cheers,
M

PS I was writing this post while Cyberjacks was being posted, thus my wording doesn't actually reflect what was said in his post but more so to DJ's response.
Cheers.
