Hi,
Question for you. How would you go about this?
I bought this follow rest from a guy in New Zealand delivered for less than $300. It's for my Clausing Colchester 15X50
The issue,
Please see the pics.
Both adjusters are off, the one installed works ok, it rotates with just a small bit of off center binding.
The adjuster was drilled off center which makes adjusting the finger difficult. It binds every revolution. You can see it's off by .100" ish.
The 3/8" internal bolt the finger rides on is left hand thread.
The roll pin is in there. I couldn't get it to budge at work. When I get home i'll heat it up, put it in a V block with a proper roll pin punch and get it out, or I'll drill it out.
Would you re-drill the adjuster in the center, single point the new bolt to fit properly?
Or would you do something else?
I can't think of any other way of fixing this.
I appreciate your ideas
