Another great video thanks for sharing! I've been curios about the process with these kinds of wheels. You mentioned you use a lathe aswell, may I ask which one you use? I notice your rpm is high on the drill, the flash point of white metal is so low, friction is probably melting the metal and marring the bit. I machine aluminum often and if it gets hot does the exact same things ruins the endmill. I wonder if some kinda tapping fluid would help. Lower RPM and possibly a carbide bit.
Thanks. The RPM is fine, the drill I was using was not very sharp so may have been a bit of cold welding going on, but mostly the issue with white metal is the chips do not clear and pack up in the flutes.
Great video! Thanks for shedding some light on how the spoked wheels are built! Always a pleasure when you post a new vid!
Glad you like them!
That is an amazing wheel set by MFH! I'm a car model builder too but that is some very technical building ! Can't wait to see the complete car!
They go together fairly easily, well designed for sure.

Everytime I watch your video I buy another tool!😂
Haha, sorry! What tool did you see to buy?
