I want to press some wheel studs into some 1/4 x 4 in flat bar.
The knurled shoulder diameter is .575 in.
What should the hole diameter be drilled to?

I looked at some wheel studs we have here.
There is a section right in front of the knurl that is clean.
drill the hole that size.Live Right Have Fun

That could possibly be the worst advice I have ever seen on this or any other forum.

For my application it could work but I'd rather press it in.
I could just bolt it but that would make it too easy.Millermatic 211 AutoSet w/MVP
