A quickie 'Nudger'
Brass_Machine:
Nice looking 'nudger' Bogs. I have one like DB's that I salved from a gear/belt swap. I am going to make one like yours... I like the way it looks.

John, I made one of these and posted about it a few months ago. I use mine a lot but your design is much much better. Mine works just fine but the large nut on mine has once got in the way so I may make another to your design.

I`ve just had a look at the madmodder link and cidrontmg's tool was also a great design!
Bogstandard:
I said that mine wasn't my own idea, if it is good, I will pinch it. Why waste brainpower when somebody has already done so.
I think the only advantage mine has over others is that it doesn't need to be removed from the toolholder at all if you use a QCTP, just swap it to a different position on the toolpost to get both types of nudges.

thats a good tool tip :nrocks:

John, just a query on the tophats. If the part that goes through the bearing is longer than the bearing width is there not the risk of the inner race turning on the tophat? in which case just a steel disc would do the same job, The two tophat method would clamp the race tight. If the tophat were a thou or two less than the bearing it would clamp the inner race firm regardless of any poor fit (not by you) between race and tophat, obviously the flange would need to be on the bar side to stop the outer race rubbing on the bar.
On spoked flywheels I prefer to set the spoke ends to run as true as possible and then machine the rim to them, I find this gives better results than setting one side of the rim true as the back face can be well off, whereas setting to the spokes usually averages out any irregularities in the rim.
