THE BIG SWITCH HAS BEGUN! MOVING THE CRAFTY 6" OUT AND MOVING THE CRAFTY 12" IN!
So far the "switch-a-roo" has gone quite well. Couple of hiccups here and there with one unresolved so far. There are two bolts or cap screws that hold the lead screw mount to the front left side of the lathe bed. I can't figure out what the thread size is. It's not a 1/4x20x2" and it's not a 3/16x24x2" and I don't have a tap that will follow into the two holes. They are not even shown in the schematic. I'm suspecting 3/16" by something! Can someone please clue me in as to the proper thread size? PLEASE AND THANK YOU! I can't install the apron and lead screw until I get those two screws as mentioned. Here's a few pics to show progress along the way! The Crafty 6" is temporarily stored under the gazebo tent.
