I need to replace, or make, some new swivel lock bolts for the compound of my Logan 12"X35" lathe. They seem to be common 5/16"nc threaded bolts but with square heads. I'm sure I can "make" the square heads easily (build up round headed bolt with weld then grind it square), BUT, my question is, are the original bolts made out of something special like high grade, or hardened steel, or ?? The originals are stripped, and no, I didn't strip them lol, I'm still a few months away from "firing it up" for the first time. Thanks, JR49
