Lead Truck Wheels

I am using spoked wheels from Allen Models. I will be machining the wheels in three operations. I mounted the casting in a four jaw chuck. I tried to mount the casting so the outside edge of the spokes were running concentric to the lathe spindle.

The first operation will face the front of the wheel, drill a work hole in the center, and rough turn the OD to give me a surface to clamp on for the second operation.

I also machined a chamfer on the inside of the rim and on the outside of the inner hub.
