It worked well on the large lathe tail stock drill bits, chuck and nandrels and etc. Have used his method for many years with good sucess, particularly on tapered flywheels and crankshaft ends.

Do it smoothly with a dead blow type or soft face hammer after you get it lined up and installed as far as it will go by hand first. Gene Davis
