Steve, I'm guessing it threads into the plate so figure out the thread size and get a stainless steel 2" round head bolt and a SS sleeve that will fit through the bolt to work as a "bearing". I would think that would work just fine. Doesn't have to be SS but hey, let's make this baby shine!
Good idea. Thanks.
I did talk to Lee Valley this morning and They are checking for me on the pivot pin. Of course, I wound up buying table inserts, a magnetic dust chute that fits a shop vac, and several other goodies.
Lee Valley appears to have very good customer service.
Yesterday was a money out-flow kind of day. My 25-year-old Skil jigsaw gave up the ghost so I went to Home Depot and bought an Octane battery and charger and got the cordless Octane jigsaw for free.
What with buying a Bosch 1617 kit, a 4100-10 table saw, router table, jigsaw, and all the other "necessities" in the last two weeks, it adds up.
Fortunately, I just sold a beautiful and excellent condition 1942 Savage (Stephens) Enfield with 600 rds of mil-surp ammo that almost covered the new tools.
WW1 and WW2 weapons are selling for a premium now. Time to cash in before the next recession.
Steve
