Run it, it's not gonna hurt a thing as long as it's not bent up and wobbling.
Well, not going to swear it is not wobbling, but I will breakout my dial indicator when the weather gets a little better and check it for runout. Doesn't appear to be bent and looks like it is fairly running true. Thanks for the info.
3, 2 of the bosses where the screw protrudes there is a small crack, and the other one is drilled or tapped on an angle. I have a good casting, and I tried it and the set screws make contact properly. The last picture shows the good casting and there is considerable material above the tapped hole. Either they broke the set screws (or the hex key) and drilled and tapped the hole and got them off center or maybe didn't know they existed and used a big puller to remove it. Either way it is junk!!
Yeah, I know, but it was there. My concern is where those set screws make contact with the bearing. The locking collar has nothing to do with that, the screws come nowhere near that. Thanks for the reply.
