Model Forum / General / Models / July 2009Grub Screw
I've just put my lathe (raglan 5") back together after a little adjustment to improve the backlash in the feedscrew nuts. But one of the locking screws for the topslide has a badly work hex in the end and needs replacing. It's a 5/16"NC thread and 5/8" long, but almost any length would do. Does anyone have an odd one lurking in the workshop they wouldn't mind dropping in the post to me -I'll obviously cover any postage costs. Unfortunately I've only got bolts in that size and it must be a grub screw or it fouls against the slide. This email is live, so you can contact me on it.

In the last 10 days or so I have done varying degrees of research and composition of replies to requests for help posted on http://www.homeworkshop.org.uk Only one got yielded a response not a dicky bird from the others. Even if the need has gone away or been satisfied in another way, it surely still common decency to send an email reply. Bob (feeling grumpy tonight!) |
