Light for E wheeling
I was wondering if the reflector panel used by paintless dent repair guys would help in wheeling a large panel?

Scott, the problem with the adjuster is that the only pressure points are the screw ends and they have probably dug into the quill. If you can get some brass set screws and remove any gouges from the quill it will be better. Better still would be to cut the whole thing off and build an adjuster that has adjustable gibs with full length quill contact.

I'm going to pull it apart and inspect it. I think some gibs and/or alignment shims will be in order for the time being. |

Kerry P. your points on the capabilities of this users particular wheel are good and need to be addressed. The wheels certainly need to stay put and point in the same direction. Some of the equipment that has been marketed is a bit short of the mark. So, yes, to ensure success shore up the parts of your wheel as needed before expecting consistant results. On this low crown panel the flats vs full radius wheels may be of lesser concern. on a 36" radius anvil there will be only a slight difference. As the radiuses get smaller the flats will become progressivly more different from the true radius type anvils. With either type the wheeler must pay attention to NOT allow the panel to tip or drop and be marked by the edge of the wheels. Those type marks are hard to remove and will often distort the panel.

Going to get my mandrel ready and polish up my wheels tomorrow! Then I'll spend a little time checking out this lower adjuster. Then I'll start rolling on a practice panel...

Quick question...
I chucked up the flat lower anvil and started polishing. For one reason or another, this thing had some grooves in it right from the get-go. Having troubles getting them out. I now have a really nice, polished, anvil with grooves. Should I actually start over and carefully start with a bastard file and then work up through the grits again? Also! I find them to have virtually no run-out at all! Maybe I'm just being a little anal retentive, but this really isn't the finish I'm looking for. Seems like even these minute lines would transfer to the panel, but then maybe I am being a little picky, since it will get sanded anyway. Thoughts? |

Scott,
The file will or may just make more scratches as it picks up bits of metal. Choose a grit of paper maybe 80 or 120 and work to 180 220 320 400 600. the scratches will polish out. You are correct those scratches will transfer to your panel. You are in Huntington Beach? I am planning to come down for the first El mirage lakes meet May 14-15. I'd like to plan a visit if possible.
