A gent on the hobby-machinist forum, somewhat fam with the sheldons, suggested that there are two such gibs in the taper attachment, which is coming off. But that is TBD as I've not looked at it that closely. The taper attachment may also have the proper screws as opposed to these cap screws and homemade pusher adjusters hacked into it now. so the possibility is there, and Ed Nisley rummaged around in his basement and has a sheet of stainless about the right thickness to at least get it into the same ball park. But the other problem with the little HF mill suddenly not moving the requested amount is the front and center problem ATM. That and a Lilac that was dying of old age I took down last week and am intermittently converting into pieces that will fit in my screen covered burn pit. Up to about 1.5" I can nip off with some heavy duty ratcheting pruners, but above that its drag the electric chain saw out. I've a wagon on the riders ball, about a 2.5' by 4.5' box stacked about a foot above the 15" sides, and thats maybe 60% of it. So I need to get a burn permit & drag the garden hose up to it, yet today if I don't wear out first. And I waddle up the hill to see if the slot is progressing from time to time. Between that, and sneaking in here to see if anyone else has a good idea, not to mention getting into the air conditioning revives me somewhat. :) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
