Ok so I just ordered all but one (Pro Axle Guide) of the tools available by DerbyWorx. I'm trying to get a jump start before the tools arive so I can jump right in and get going. My question is this.
Regarding wheel treament what should the order be in which I prep the wheels be? Below I've put what I would do but I want to ask the pro's what the order is.
Wheels:
1) Pro Hub Tool
2) Prow Wheel Shaver XT II
3) Pro Outer Hub Shaver
4) Pro Bore Polisher
Axles:
1) debur and smooth out axels (file, sandpaper)
2) Axle Press to straigten axles
3) Pro Bore Polisher to polish axles
Longer Wheel Base Process:
1) Before cutting block use the Pro Body tool
2) cut block to spec.

I found this in one of the threads:
A quick run down would be,
1. True inner and outer hub faces(Pro Hub Tool,Pro Outer Hub Shaver)
2.True tread surfaces(Pro wheel Shaver)
3.Sand and polish tread surfaces(Pro Mandrel)
4.Cone inner hub(Pro Hub Tool)
5.Polish wheel bore(Pro Bore Polisher)

Sounds like a good plan for your wheels. ;D Axles...... 1. file off crimp marks 2. Pro Axle Press, hammer but watch thumbs  3. Polish axles using fine grade of sandpaper 600 to 2000 grit. 4. Polish axles removing scratch marks using Mother's Mag wheel. 5. Clean Axles with Denatured Alcohol. Body..... 1. Measure location first for axle placement. Check Twice. 2. Pro body tool, align to one side of the block using a TRI square, shim opposite side with paper or cardstock as required. 3. Clamp PBT in place with small clamp. 4. Drill rear axle holes, pin vise helps here or slow speed on a hand drill. 5. Move PBT forward and reference same side as aligned before, use TRI square again. Shim & Clamp. 6. Drill front hole and depending on your rules, either drill the raised wheel or drill for 4 wheels touching. 7. Draw and cut car shape as designed. |

Axles: I agree, watch those thumbs with that hammer- ouch! If you are using the axle press to cone the axle heads, place the tool with axle inserted on a board with a drill hole in it large enough to allow the nail to advance without resistance, otherwise you will end up with an out of square axle head + be sure to sand and polish the inside of that nail head afterward. Tip- use a magnifying glass to check for defects- I think my eyes need all the help they can get.!
