Dumb question

[Don Fischer]

What is COWW and SOWW? I keep seeing these mentioned and suspect they are some kind of wheel weight? There a glossery of terms in here some where?

Stick on and crimp on wheel weights

[Seeker]

COWW= clip on wheel weight
SOWW= stick on wheel weight

No such thing as a dumb question. We all started learning someplace. You just happen to be in the right place. :)

Here is some great info on WWs:

Mike and Seeker answered your question, but there are no dumb questions. Welcome to the world of wheelweights!

We are continually building a FAQ forum, there is one for Acronyms.

Don't beleive I have ever seen a question asked that was never answerd, on here. Some of these guys may not answer directly but will lead you into the right path, you just have to be willing to read. Good luck and keep asking, you won't go wrong.

Great people here more than willing to answer any "dumb" question as we have all started somewhere, but the stickys are a good source, too.

Boy is my face red! DUH! Digging around in my back room a bit ago and found a bucket full of mostly stick on's!

[fast ronnie]

I've had a red face more than I really like to admit. I've done some really stupid things on a lathe and mill. Sometimes it works and then there's those other times...........
I've learned more that way by accident than by plan. That's just life!

There is no dumb question and never be afraid to ask as there are others for certain wondering the same question but that are too shy to ask. Learned that from a little teaching I did.

My supervisor says the only dumb question is the one not asked!!!
