Hi all,

I had a little accident involving a fork lift and one of my glass lathes.
End result was one of the cranking wheels to move the carriage was broken.
The spokes broke free of the hub. I believe it is cast aluminum.

What would be the best way to fix it other than something like JB Weld?

Thanks,

Randy Hansen


My choice would be OA fusion welding using 5% silicon filler rod. Should not
be difficult if carefully pre-heated and supported.
