The connection of my fly wheel on my OBI press to the actuator cracked the entire way around.
I have never welded cast iron and from my research, it is not an easy thing to do.
One of the methods that seems the most secure discussed on the Lincoln site is to drill and tap the crack around the circumference and leave about 1/4" of the steel screw exposed and weld it and the cast iron.
Also, from that site, it appears that Tech Rod 55 is my best choice.
Any suggestions/ideas?
Thanks
Chris
