Repairing sloppy cutter wheel bolt holes

[MOE]

I had 4 bolt holes on my rayco rg100 that had gotten sloppy from pocket bolts that had loosened. Once the holes get sloppy they shear bolts a lot easier. I scribed the locations, welded them completely shut and re drilled withba magnetic drill without removing from machine. Saved a lot of time.

What did you use for a wire or rod?

Just.035" hard wire.its pretty close to the hardness of the cutter wheel when I give it the spark test
