Howdy folks,
Having galvanized a 2" mast for my tower, it's now too tight of a fit in
the 2" wide x 3" long mast opening at the top plate of the tower. I
already knew that galvanizing would slightly increase the diameter, but
did not expect as much as it did.
So, I'm thinking of honing out a few thousandths of steel inside that
2x3 tube for the mast to fit. There is already a thrust bearing on top,
so I'm not worried about a lack of support after honing.
Any thoughts on using a 3-stone cylinder hone to open up the tube a little?
