Here is a cross section of a brakewheel for an overhead crane. We make quite a few of these ranging from 10" diameter to 30" diameter. Most are cast but some are made from billet ductile iron if no pattern is available for a particular size. Even the cast ones need machined all over to true them up to help with balance. Getting a tool back in there where the radius meets the hub is sometimes a challenge and we sometimes get chatter. Any suggestions on tooling to get back in the radius area.
