I'd like to rally the collective experience of all of the home club builders here. What equipment (specific favorites) does a person need to successfully pull and replace iron shafts? I have good shop aptitude (hands on mech engineer) so it should be a relative breeze. I like good value for high quality, and may not be able to buy the whole shop all at once, so emphasis on starter kit and items that will last/worth purchasing upfront.
My general areas of interest/recommendations:
- shaft puller / heating method - is a heat gun sufficient? Favorite pullers? Other?
- reaming tool for cleaning up old epoxy
- way to turn ferrules - thinking acquisition of bench belt grinder may be best here?
- swingweighting - appropriate measurement tool seems essential for successful building, am i right?
- preferred swingweight adjustment methods
- epoxy type - does it matter
--> What else?
I've already got re-gripping covered. Trying to figure out the relative investment in decent tools vs. paying the labor on reshafting i.e. trying to justify tools
Thanks!
