How do I machine a square hole?

Uh o! Sorry John.... :(
Just as a thought..... Would a spring loaded ball bearing not do the trick?
Hard, rounded and unlikely to get jammed as it's a sphere?
It would only be a case of correctly tensioning the spring.... Grubscrew from the rear? Or just a spring that is the correct tension?
Just all I could think of.....
Good luck!

Oh, there is no need to be sorry Ralph. :beer:
In fact I am thinking of changing my ID to 'The Artful Bodger', if you could see the stuff thrown under my bench you would understand! :ddb:

Can you change your ID without re-signing up?? I never tried! You'll always just be plain ol' "bodger" to me John :) :wave:
Hasn't anyone got a thought as to the ball bearing approach?

Ralph,
Methinks that would have been Mogas' first attempt.
The problem would be the required range of movement, and the 'breakaway' feature required. I would suspect a ball big enough to do the job couldn't be accomodated in the main shaft, and any smaller would just drop out of the hole because of the throw required.
My brain now hurts.
