So, I spent the evening making a little bushing out of aluminum. I
made it 7/16 so it will fit in a collet. Then I put it in a collet and
drilled and tapped it so I can put the gib screw in there and re-point
it. I think that by doing this, it's as concentric as I can get it.
I put one of the gib screws in just to see how it would work and the
points are off center. So I guess I'll re-point them, and round them
off a little with a file. Then hope they line up with some of the
indents? I don't know how I'd remake the indents without messing up the
threads for the gib screws. I thought about a center drill, but the #1
is too small and the #2 is too big.
I also thought about running the tap into the gib screw holes and
hoping I can get it to leave a mark, and then drilling it on a drill
press. Would that work, or should the indents be made with the gib in
place?
Hey, it finally stopped raining out here today. The sun came out for
a minute and I can still see spots!
