mcgaugheys spindles

[nwmod39]

well i just recieved my set of 2.5 drop spindles and i have to say i am slightly disapointed in the finish of these. everyone has praised mcgaugheys for such a wonderful product and im sure they are great spindles. i guess that is just the perfectionist in me complaining about nothing. will por 15 once applied to the spindles smooth them out a little more. the castings have little pot marks in them and i would like them to be super smooth.
thanks for allowing me to cry.

that's the nature of cast iron bro ... everyone's spindles have that rough look except on the axle spindle itself.

por 15 is very thin stuff but maybe with 6 or 7 coats// or you could just spend a few hours with a die grinder or dremal tool you could get them as smooth as you want you even could polish them up and clear coat them for a real show appearance depends on the hours and effort you're willing to spend

i felt that mine were fine but i dont know.. why dont you just crome plate them too then?

[nwmod39]

yeah i figure im just being to picky. my perfectionism really gets the best of me. could one use all-metal to smooth them out and then por 15 over that?
thanks

I would suggest having them powdercoated at a competent shop in our area. The powder coater I use, lays the powder on pretty heavy and that will fill a certain amount of surface imperfections.
