[tab name='FAQ']Where is it made?
Our index wheels are made in New Hampshire?
Why is the wheel better then homemade wood wheels or plastic wheels?
Because steel is much more stiff and wont flex which results in perfectly strait lines.
Will the steel rust?
No it is zinc coated however rubbing the wheel with the same compound used for cast iron table saws is also a good idea.
These holes can be used to mount the wheel in unique configurations, if needed.
