I've begun the restoration of my Cincinnati Toolmaster 1b.

A concern is why the X Crossfeed wasn't working.
Turns out the adjustment screw is missing and the Gibb was wedge tight.
Loosened up with minimal effort.
But, will need a replacement screw.
Easy to turn one out.
Does anyone have any suggestions about recommended type of steel or alloy?
Hard or Soft?


Thank you,

If it's the screw that threads into cast iron to apply pressure to the gib, nothing fancy is needed. A piece of A36 or 1018 etc will do fine and anything above/beyond that is frosting on the cake.

Copy, pull it out of the drops.
Whatever, works!
