Thread: Anyone willing to turn a small pin?

If you can find your way to my place at Eagleby near beenleigh I am sure we can fix you up on the spot look at perhaps a stepped bush to make the new one fit into the place of the old one In any case if there is no one closer I will be bringing my small metal lathe to Q turn so could be done then cheers ~ John

If no-one else closer helps you out, I should be able to help you.

Post a sketch of actual sizes would help

Thanks for the offers guys. I'll get some precise measurements and put them up here.

I probably can't get to either of you but we may end up crossing paths at the Brisbane wood show so we could arrange to meet there perhaps.

I can probably do it for you.
I am at Algester.

Thanks for all the offers guys. I'm still doing some dry fitting so to speak, just to ensure I know every measurement exactly before I ask anyone to do it.

I'm trying to make sure that once it's all together that there aren't any problems with parts not fitting relative to anything else. So far I've used an existing bar from the original metabo guides and wrapped electrical tape around it at one end to fit it in the new guide hole. Don't worry I'm not going to run it with this set up, I'm just making sure it lines up the way I want. I'd have done this earlier but work this week was hell and the maleny show distracted me all yesterday.

I'm going to probably start up a new thread to show off the retro fitting step by step too if anyone is interested. I don't believe my saw is a hugely popular one but for anyone who owns one and wants to try something like this it may help them.
