Or just 2 grubscrews, one locking the other ? |
| awemawson:
But he needs to undo it to lock / unlock the top slide |
| tekfab:
Sorry i thought it was the gib adjusting screw he wanted to replace ? |

Thanks Chaps! I might get away with two grubscrews..... The available total length, is around 12mm. Looking at the (old)pic. (The toolpost is wound out, to show the available travel). Between the two brass oil plugs, is a 6mm caphead screw, which operates the carriage lock. When the socket's not full of swarf...... :palm: I want to install a 15mm dia, knurled head. Drilled for a tommy bar, or permanent handle. But, with toolpost in it's usual working position, the central gib adjusting screw, is over the lock screw position....... If you can follow that! :scratch: David D |

Could your replacement screw have a short 'stalk' (to clear the grub screw), with the knurled head on top? Or not enough room? |
