Abstract

A cast wheel body is formed with an angular slot for receiving a hammerhead bolt used to fasten a wheel rim to the wheel body with an angle piece cast in this slot being pushed outwardly by means of a vertically movable tool which deburs the areas where the angle piece is broken away and the adjacent walls of the wheel rim while also leveling the bolt support and compressing the wall for the bolt to a predetermined thickness.
