something new....

Postby ScaleCraft » Wed Dec 23, 2020 2:16 pm

On the 225E conversion, one of the eccentric screws was bottoming out, not fully tightening the crank.
Drilled it through, checked and smaller than 4-40, 2-56 falls through.

Specs are 3-48....and my local specialty hardware store was surprised that they actually HAD a 3-38 tap!

Fixed it.....now I have a 3-48 tap in my box of taps and dies.

Never had to tap one out before, eye guess.
