Wtb Clausing 8520 Table Stop Bolt & Spacer

[Bobde]

Hi all

I'm looking for a table stop bolt & spacerthat fits into the 8250 front slot. My machine only came with one. I can't seem to locate a like sized t bolt. If anyone has a spare table stop bolt & spacer (or info where I can get parts) is be very appreciative. please msg me.

Thank you,
Bob

Bob, my 8520 came without them. I made a couple of tee nuts to fit the slot and threaded them for an appropriate cap screw. Piece of cake!

Nice! I was thinking to do that too but thought I would inquire as well.

I only used mine to mount the scale for my DRO, but they were easy to make and took very little time. My granddaughter helped with them and learned some things in the process.

Coincidentally, I just made two of those yesterday (the second thing I've made with my "new" mill) from some scraps of steel and some 1/4-20 threaded rod. I also made a longer version to hang commonly used wrenches (5/8", 3/4", 7/8").

Nice! And the wrench hanger looks very convenient!
