Hi Kevin
What do you mean by 'buckled"?? I described my pragmatic approach to mounting wheels with a drill press in a post in July (5957 on the 014 Group correspondence log).? If you support your 2nd wheel evenly it should not buckle.
It should run true if you are careful and apply gentle even pressure throughout the process.? After my article on the wheel-press someone said
they had achieved something similar using a GW Models quartering tool and an 014 back to back gauge.? If
you put a wobbly wheelset into this sort of press overnight (say) the plastic will give a little and the wheelset will run true.??
If that doesn't work contact me via the Rhyd web-site and we can explore other options.? rs

Hi all
OK I need help. ?David(KBscale) sent me a few wheel for my South African rolling stock, 176 to be exact. I thought it would be simple. Use a drill press and push the axle through the wheel. BUT NO< NOTHING IS SIMPLE. I get one wheel on perfect, the 2nd is buckled. My back to back is fine, its just this issue.
So i looked up the wheel press on the 014 groups page. and saw one that John.C ownes or built. Are there any 014 wheel presses on the market? would any one be willing to fabricate me a press?
please any help would be brilliant. as i dont know what im doing wrong
AAARRGGH.
