I've been looking for a wheel stud swedge cutter for 7/16" studs. The Goodson ST-437 would have worked but they no longer offer it. For $1060 they'll make one for me but I think I'll pass on that idea. Does anyone know of another supplier? I've looked for a couple days and can't find anything comparable. Thanks!

I promised to make some 1/2 inch cutters for some folks and would not be a problem to make them 7/16. I could make one for you next week.

Mine are great if you only use them sporadically. I make them from hardened drill rod. I have not had the incentive to make a carbide tipped cutter.

Never claimed to be but the concept isn't as foreign as you might think.

They would look something like this but with a reduced 1/2" shank to fit in a 1/2" chuck. I would make sure they fit correctly over a 1/2" or 7/16" stud. I have used these before and they worked very well.

That is very gracious offering to make these for free. up There is a bit of work and set up time involved there with the heat treatment and the alloy material isn't free either. I do little do dads like this often. I think I'd need to get $30-$40 for one of these unless I know you.

Well I'm a Dumb-$^#! My prototype 1/2" cutter is a left hand cutter! LOL! But the good news is it cuts great!

So it will take a bit to correct my drawing and programs............

I recovered pretty good. Roughed out (7) 7/16" and (9) 1/2" cutters today. Need to cut the shanks, harden and grind before they are done.

I'm using the Goodson ST-437 that I was lucky enough to buy 6 months before the OP posted. Maybe the last one?

Can someone who has cut the swages off their front brake drum lug studs please tell me if I have gone deep enough to press out the studs? I went just deep enough for the tool to fully clean up both the lug studs and the drum. But I'm wondering if maybe the stud is swaged or mushroomed deeper than the top surface of the drum? How much below the top surface of the drum should I go?

Should I replace the drum after using this tool?

Before I bought the tool and not knowing the studs were swaged, I pressed on a stud with my 12-ton press against a socket around the stud head and it warped the drum. I'm trying to avoid repeating that fiasco if the drum is salvageable after de-swaging.

i think you may be good where you are at.
one way to find out. lightly tap on the broken stud, "lightly" being a subjective term, just not 12 tons of force. if it moves, you are good to go.
there is some press fit on the drum bore to hub od, but i don't know, or remember, how much that is.

Pretty sure that guy kept the arbor and removed the pilot drill.


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
