Drive Spur Strategies

Here are a couple of strategies for a drive spur.

1) Slot a cross pattern in a 3/4” hex nut and braze/weld bar stock into the slots as shown below. Note: You can change the width of the slot

(saw kerf) by stacking several hacksaw blades onto the hacksaw.

2) Acquire a standard tapered wood-lathe drive spur. Cut the spur head off from the taper shaft and weld it to a 3/4” hex nut.
