Re: Clamping wheel hubs

there is approximately 1.3 sq inches of area that the force is applied to on each side of the wheel. The center section of the wheel is a sort of spoked design, that's why the area is so low. You can see a similar wheel here http://www.northerntool.com/images/p.../155123_lg.jpg I will not be using the bearings in mine.

The drive flanges do not have to center or true the wheel, I have that taken care of. As for the keyways enlarging, I have that under control also.
