It has theadvantage of being readily adaptableto any size of flue, and will scarf, weld,swage and spread or fit flues to theholes, so that no shimming or lining-up is necessary. It runs 300 revolu-tions a minute and its capacity forwork is only limited by the heatingcapacity of the furnace. We had the
