WEATHERVANE POSTS |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Many companies supply their spindles with a squared flat tip. Experience has shown the squared edges can snag and even cut a weathervanes spindle tube. Ferro spindle-tips are precision ground to a radius to avoid this problem as well as reduce bearing surface allowing a freer, smoother rotating action. Knocked down posts/spindles are used by most weathervane makers to allow the entire weathervane to fit in one shipping carton. This is generally only done with small to medium sized weathervanes. Most companies thread these sections so they are easily assembled by the customer. History has also shown most of these threaded posts become unthreaded sooner or later. Part of the problem is that only 1/2" or so embeds into the post. The Ferro post and spindle system is innovative. The spindle is embedded a full 2" into the post. A stainless steel expansion pin is tapped through the post and spindle by the customer, locking the two together forever. Not one of our posts has ever come loose or required painting!
**Add one inch per spindle for embedding into post. |
