    At least that's what my local metal place tells me when I ask for it. Well, today, I proved it to myself.

    Had a 30" octagon that was given to me. Someone was using it as a jig of some sort, hence the angle on the sides. I just acquired a spare tire/rim from the M416. (It didn't fit the trailer.) Had a chunk of 4" well casing. And just out of pure luck, I had an old hub from the Dodge 1500 with a bad bearing.

    Well, the hub fit the hole pattern in the rim, and the 4" well casing just happened to be a dang near press on fit to the back side of the hub. I literally had everything on hand, and didn't have to buy anything. Now I have a handy portable table for my trouble. Just lean it over, and twirl it to where I need it....

    Those are there by fate, not design. I'll let you know how they function once I get the chance to test them out....

    Use water first - no reason to waste perfectly good beer on a test :)
