Post by: ez2cdave on March 19, 2017, 01:59:34 AM

I just saw something "strange" on eBay . . . A "chipped" 114HLW spool .

Take a look at the pics and tell me what you think caused this . . . It doesn't look like a "chip" to me !

BTW - I have no intention of bidding on it, but I'm very currious about what may have happened to it . . . Thanks for your input !

It looks like a defect (air pocket) during the casting of the original billet and not from abuse.....JMO Bill

Agree with Bill. If the price was right, I'd buy it and mabey fill the defect with epoxy.
