[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 149935, member: 2806"] Don't think for a second that you're fooling me. You wrote this just to make me feel bad that your lathe is bigger than mine. Mine doesn't have the swing for an 8"-long spoke. On second thought, I'll machine half the head in my lathe, stop the motor, flip the spoke by 180°, and machine the other half. That'll show you... Based on everything that has been written so far, and assuming when I make more measurements of my assembled hub I don't find a problem with the idea, my present plan is to machine a jig to allow me to press the "wings" of my spoke flanges a further ~0.065" (i.e. an additional 6%) to allow the heads of the spokes to pass through.
