Hi,

    I am in the process of installing new steel gear  legs, and I am running into problems getting the legs far enough into the  sockets. Does anyone have a source for a die grinder that is long enough to get  up inside the socket far enough to clean the burrs out? I'm out of ideas and  local sources. I am only able to get them about 8 1/2 inches now.

 Thanks

                Larry,

  

         You  might be able to use  an automotive  brake or wheel cylinder hone .  The kind which has  three cutting stones on it and goes into a drill gun.  It could  be this might reach a little farther up the gear leg socket.  Just a  thought.

A tapered Reamer the size of your gear leg would work  best for something like that but you would have to use an extension on it for  that deep of  job Check with your local machine shop buddies they  might have one if so, it will look like you should spin it left hand   direction  but don't   or you will have bigger problems  it  is made that way for a good reason so you don't get it stuck inside something  like that it will clean out any burrs inside there the easiest way I can think  of

A handy thing to have around a shop is a roll of plumber's sandcloth.  Comes in two grits.Put some on a wood dowel and smooth the bore.

The wheel cylinder hone is what I used.  Worked fine.                        Lar.

I am going to make a trip into town and will see if I can find anything  that will work. I will check on the suggestions and see what I can find.

 Thanks

I used a stone with extensions and a flapper wheel.  See picture.  



I bought the extensions through the mail from McMaster-Carr.

Gang,

    I found a "Brake Cylinder" hone and a extension that all should do a 

great job. Thanks guys for your suggestions and help. I couldn't seem to 

think of what to ask for.

Thanks again.

Larry C
