I watched the H&W video on how to get the broken part out of the head.
He says to use a #5 40 screw.
I went to two hardware stores and had no luck. I ordered a 10 pack from McMaster Carr last night, be here today.
I must admit, this entire mechanism seems a bit hokey.
I have a bent trip trip lever pin, a busted reverse trip ball and the black thing mounted to the quill that encircles the micrometer threaded shaft? Is loose.
This all started when I went to install a quill DRO. Andy has one, so I wanted one
I took the entire mechanism apart to find it needing to be cleaned and lubricated anyway.
I need to order parts and reassemble.
I would bet, anyone who owns one of these has done this job or will be doing it in the future.
I’m not sure I’ll use it but I want it to work properly.
